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.

Zai

Zai and Amri returned to the bench that they'd left by the stairwell shack. The whole chase had taken mere minutes, but running had left Zai's feet blistered.

"Well, that was a good reminder why you should never run in formals," she said as she peeled off her shoes and socks before inspecting the bottom of her feet. The night air felt good against the heat of her sores, and she could already feel the pain fading as, free from their confinement, her regeneration started kicking in. The steam rising off her blisters felt a bit unnecessary though.

"I can't believe you ran up all those stairs..." Amri responded. "You don't even sound winded anymore."

"Yeah, well... you had me in quite the panic when you jumped off the balcony... Honestly, I've thought of riding a crane up but I have an example to set, you know?"
