Ascendant: Struggle

Zai, a soldier, and her squad live a life of brutal hit-and-run operations and training the people of Aviye to resist the will of the Hegemons that divided her nation. When a beautiful defector falls into her lap, the terrible secret of how the Hegemony creates its Ascendants, powerful warriors wielding powers only a few understand, is revealed, as well as a lost path to the same power. As Zai and Amri struggle to understand the truth of the path, deadly enemies and even divisions within their own people must be overcome. Yet in the shadows of the Hegemony lurks an enemy far older and more powerful than even they can imagine. -------- I invite you to consider my other works if you are interested: https://www.webnovel.com/book/the-demon-lord-is-an-angel_28486713700592205#review I also have a Discord if you want to communicate with me directly: https://discord.gg/ksJ8dJup4d Special thanks to SapphoAndHerFriend for her support and help with the cover.

Lighting A Fire

Lutis, Democratic Union of Aviye

Zai

Zai had shown up to Lutis in her dress uniform, ready to romance Amri with a bouquet of flowers, only to find she wasn't at the hotel. Fortunately, Amri had left a message with the hotel staff, so Zai was able to track her down at the hospital.

The boy Rui had fought was in a very painful but stable condition. A combination of painkillers and Amri walking him through meditation had him barely controlling the qi inside himself.

"It's remarkable..." Amri said, her tone academic, "I think Rui's attack broke through to his inner qi... if that kind of exposure is all it takes, maybe we can use this to make as many Risers as we want..."

"Remarkable or not, someone needs to get Rui before something happens," Zai replied, bringing Amri back into the moment.
