Taleria's Notes

Hello everyone!This is a translated novel. I do not own the original content—I simply love reading and wanted to share that passion with others. I've translated and rewritten parts of it to make the reading experience more enjoyable. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did working on it!

There was once a man who watched himself die — and said nothing.

He saw the blood, the silence, the end that should not have come. He buried it beneath purpose. Buried it beneath names not his own, blades drawn in defense of strangers, and the hope that maybe he could outrun what was already written.

But the scars remain. So do the ruins.

Across fractured skies and dying dimensions, groups gather. They don’t trust each other. Not yet. Maybe not ever.

But something hunts the remnants of broken worlds.

Something old. Something made.

In the ashes of collapsing realms, ancient machines stir and gods remain silent. And when the walls fall — when the line between past and future folds into itself — the man who watched himself die may have to decide if saving others means letting himself disappear entirely.

This is the story of when the stars went quiet… and the echoes began to speak.

*SPOILER ALERT*

the story picks up some time after the first volume of Supremeo. find it on my profile!

After the events of Sigmond's reappearance and lifting the nation of Avalon off the travel ban list. Supremeo and crew continue their search for their friend Victor Hawkins. Their companion reappears but not in a way they'd hope for! While still processing their friends reappearance, familiar and new foes appear complicating their reunion even further. As a new evil power reveals it's face, Supremeo must get a hold of a necessary power up that's vital to completing his main purpose of living. And that's repairing the damages the war caused on the red planet and it's people. Supremeo II: War Hawk answers the mystery of Victor's disappearance while continuing to unfold the mysteries of the War Lord faction as well.

The Second Coalition War (80-98 EH) was fought 265 years after the conclusion of the First Coalition War.

Due to the the unification of Upper Empyrea into the Umbracresti-Estrinite-Glacian-Narcissian Archregion (UEGNA) under Archcountess-Khatun Vega Calliope Ego by marriage, inheritance and alliances, the other regions dissolved UEGNA seats on CEDA and formed the Cerulean-Vorantine-Aqulio-Pheasantine Union (CVAPU) in response.

After Vega abdicated in 78 EH, her twenty year son is crowned Archcount-Khagan Urlic IV & I Ego-Estrin-Romanakov of Umbracrest, Estrin, Glacier and Narciss. Urlic is more aggressive than his mother and the other regions declare war on the Archregion....

The Grand Army requires some understanding for this book to make any sense to you (the Grand Fleet is simply 308 Airships / Aeronautical Craft divided into 7 Fleets of 44.)

■ Combatant Command = 10 Million troops under the Marshal of the Grand Army.□ Army Group = 2.5 Million troops under a Grand-General.● Field Army = 625,000 troops under a Lieutenant General.○ Corps = 156,250 troops under a Grand Warlord.▪︎ Division = 31,250 troops under a Warlord.• Brigade = 6,250 troops under a War Brigadier.° Company = 1,250 troops under a Captain.Platoon = 125 troops under an Ego Lieutenant.Troop = 25 troops under a Lord Sergeant-Major or Colour Sergeant.Squad = 5 Troops under a Lance Corporal.

■ Combatant Command (Marshal Blücher):□ Western Army Group (Grand- General Augereau):● 1st Western Field Army (Lt. Gen Ridge):○ I Corps ○ II Corps○ III Corps○ IV Corps● 2nd Western Field Army (Lt.

With that out of the way, you can expect: politics, battles, strategy, death, marriage, destruction and many other things.

A little bit of Geography now:

UEGNA Regions:

The West - Umbracresti Commisarate

The Northwest (Archipelago) - Estrin Dominion

The North - Glacier Electorate

The Northeast - Earldom of Narciss (Capital region)

CVAPU:

The East - Second Pheasantine Republic

The Southeast - Meritocracy of Aquiloria

The South - Technocracy of Vorantis

The Southwest - Theocratic Confederacy of Cerulea

The first two chapters are set slightly before the Second Coalition War started.

Enjoy!

Now for the very first time Cassandra will have to fight in the tournament alone without her support as she also deals with the void in her heart. Will Cassandra ever see her sister again?

Night had no mercy here.

It stretched on forever, swallowing the horizon, choking the moonlight until the only thing left was a bruised sky—painted deep purple and black, cracked by cold stars.

Somewhere in that darkness, something watched. It had waited lifetimes for this moment, drifting between worlds, slipping through the gaps that desperate hands and broken hearts left behind.

It watched a boy with gentle green eyes and a scar pressed over his chest like a curse, laughing with friends who did not yet know how fragile their days were.

It watched a man with crimson eyes and a star etched beneath one of them, hiding blood on his hands behind crooked smiles.

It watched a soldier whose eyes flickered yellow and pink, the taste of duty forever sour in his mouth.

It watched gods who had long abandoned mercy.

Watched Angels who would one day bleed white across shattered fields.

And in the spaces between these souls, it felt the tremor of something older still—a grief that crawled through every timeline, whispering of fates already written.

Of victories that meant nothing.

Of monsters born not of nightmares, but of prayers that no god ever answered.

⸻

"Do you ever wonder," someone once said, voice swallowed by wind, "if we were meant to fail from the start?"

"Maybe," came the reply. "But I'd rather burn trying than live under their chains."

⸻

When the first of the stars cracked, the world didn't notice.

Not at first.

It would take time for the heavens to truly split open. For halos to shatter. For hisgrin to stretch impossibly wide across dusk-soaked battlefields.

And by then, all anyone could do was bleed.

⸻

Somewhere far away, under a sky that forgot how to dream, the story began again.

It always did.

Because freedomwas stubborn.

Because even broken things keep fighting.

Because somewhere, somehow, someone always believed—

This time, we can save them all.

Just an idea.

In the world of Empyrea, the once-bright future has been reduced to ashes. The Æbyssal Triumvirate has entered into the realm and ravaged the land and corrupted its people with the hammer that the Covenant of the Void was allowed to become over time. Despite the warnings of the ancient Order of the Dragoon, Empyrea's reliance on Æther, the revolutionary power source that was meant to bring prosperity and progress, has instead led it to ruin: once-holy places are now desecrated, and the people live in constant fear of persecution. However, the Coalition Against the Æbyss continues to exist in the North of Empyrea, and it may have discovered a weakness it can exploit if it can find the right people.

The Last Age is a gripping tale of romance and rebellion, told through the perspectives of many POV characters, these three are the main ones:

● Provisional Prefect Ellanor Etatè: A young administrator forced to confront the consequences of her association with the EASP Party by an even worse regime that has returned to power again in the East.

● Viscountess Valerie Reine Ego of Chalcrystis: Hiding from the forces of her own family, Valerie must use her charm and wit to avoid capture by her brother and sister, all while navigating the treacherous landscape of power and love to secure her own future.

Charles Alexander Worce III, once respected as the High-Exarch of Worcestershire and before that as Grand-General, finds himself grappling with the bitterness of being forgotten. With his years slipping away and having nothing to show for a lifetime devoted to service because of the new Earl, Worce begins to tell the tale of the Coalition War.
