Hopefully this will give you an idea of where I was heading with this story.

This arc was merely used to introduce the characters and their ideologies. Also describing how the world acted and reacted to situations.
-Tournament Arc

-Royal Guard Arc
This one was going to be a small volume detailing the work of a guard and building up on Astrid's character whilst also building Stavn up more.
-Underground War Arc
This was going to play out as a way to display corruptibility of nations and their people, also displaying the underlying threat of terrorists attempting to take control via unorthodox means.

This one would be where Phyora is seriously injured in battle and Stavn filled with despair after finding Caleo is alive and an enemy along with Phyora on deaths door. Confides himself in Astrid, producing a child.

-Hunters Battle
This battle would display the skill of Stavn in outnumbered situations, using his fully formed magic, alongside his rage to wipe out the hunters. This would results in the loss of his left eye to a backfire in his rage magic. Phyora would soon be killed and her head sent via messenger to Stavn.
