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.

The Four Dragons

Mama Yuxing's Dragon House, Zongren, Aviye

8 Days Before the Finals

Quynh

It was around sunset that four women made their way one by one into what claimed to be the oldest restaurant in Aviye.

Quynh was the one to suggest it, having encountered the roadside establishment during a trip to Zongren where she investigated some local remedies for joint inflammation.

As the first to arrive, Quynh asked for a private room, and was led to the only private dining area in the establishment, which featured a mural of four dragons eating hotpot out of an oversized bucket while the Sapphire Emperor adjudicated their turns; since there was only one pair of chopsticks between them. It was a lesson in sharing from a children's tale, not that it would be an issue here since the menu was quite hardy.

It would need to be, since making her friends and wife run cross-country to meet in secret would be taxing.
