Armored x Magic girls ‘title forever work in progress’ 3rd era finale

i mean given how 2nd era and 3rd are not as polished as the 1st era there's not much to say about the finale but this is how my fantasy looked.

so the big breach is what they're really fighting against. remember the portal from preview post and the girl that stayed behind to hold off monsters but now it's 100 times worse and that girl turns out was the 3rd shadow and the 3 shadows will go into the breach and meet the shadow dragon that gave Gabriela the mission. what happens next idk. maybe the dragon was one of the creatures from million years ago just screwing with plans of those that defeated him and trapped him in here idk.

on the battlefield we have new arrivals like the 5th kingdom and the new 1st kingdom queen is actually his older daughter so given the 5th kingdom's oath she's angry that both her father and younger sister are here but dads like there will be no world if this is not dealt with. and 2nd kingdom's secret castle. they showed up on floating chunks of land and with young dragons flying next to, steering by hitting drums. og i only had alpha team so we see more teams here like one showed up invisible on sky and first drooped red banners like pillars then you see their blond leader has white-red armor and great sword which was enchanted to create shield so she can just stick it in the ground and use hands for offensive magic. one was apparently on a mission in another dimension and they bring aircrafts from that dimension with them that immediately enter this breach.

as for the ending og it just leaves you with a question. is the magic world gone now? did they lose? added to this is the girl reading books that was mentioned in extra post. as she returns to last book on the shelf and that's it there are no more books a book falls from the top and it's blank. the girl then exits the house writes something down in it and goes out with a smile as she puts it in her.. forgot how to english.. bag? just big enough for the book, special bag for the book? idk 'googles types of bags' ..oh looks like satchel is the bag used here

it basically means 4th era has yet to be written and it's up to the future to write it.

reminder that no time traveler could go beyond this point.

Armored x Magic girls ‘title forever work in progress’ 4th kingdom

first scene starts in a ruined town. in ruined building a man and a girl are running as they're being attack from the outside. the man then tells the girl to escape as he pushes her out the back window. she fell badly and had a limp she had to walk off.

the ruined town afterwards is attacked by an army standing in the sky. their ponytail leader has a sword in her left arm turned upside down and an eyepatch tied around her left glove. the women on her left with half blue and white hair and glasses crosses her hands and slashes 2 magic waves at the ground. the short brown haired girl next to her uses a device on her left arm and 3 big circles are created raining down magic projectiles. there's also a big guy with a big hammer there. the commander descends and mostly uses her right hand to cast shield slashing with the sword in left. (latter in the story we see she prefers to use defensive magic with her right but with the sword she keeps switching and just grabbing the sword in whatever position it was at the time she switched to other hand, rarely will she use offensive magic with the left).

now this kingdom has 3 problems. old enemies that dislike their kingdom ever since it was established and the noble houses are toxic rivals. houses don't want to replace the king but act as if only their table matters and other houses can sit under it. which brings me to the school which the girl from first scene wants to join but first the last problem the kingdom has is the exiled prince. now seen more like the evil bandit leader who did develop a power which focuses on the emotion of anger.

the school actually has a status of house and as it provides education it's disliked by noble houses who see phantom influence as if the house wants any part in their rivalries. official members of the house just want to pursue their interests be it knowledge, art, magic so the school has rules in order to protect themselves. one member did break the rule tho so she got "punished" and is under house arrest. the school is in the valley but the house is on a small mountain above and the "punished" woman is on a nearby top always just reading in front of a shack and drinking tea, we never see her face tho hmm. now this new girl is kinda free spirited so the principal is smartly delaying her official joining expecting her to get into trouble. other members are all powerful in magic and tend to sense when she's in danger. "punished" women on the other never acknowledges her but one time the girl will get in trouble with some noble house minions and as fight breaks this women will turn the page of her book in a weird way but as she does that the minion is hit with magic that appeared like the girl did it without looking but other members just smile looking at that top where the women is just sipping tea and reading her book.

the girl will get into all kinds of adventures even taking on evil ancient vampire after finding his crypt.

eventually the kingdom is attacked in force lead by wizard who gathered magic for decade just for this. he will pull a distraction as he goes solo into capital and no one can stop him but then a woman looking like.. inspired by xD

so a short woman with a really heavy coat shows up. white hair with a little black under white xD

and she's just walking in front of him but on the battlefield the gloating enemies faces change as distraction fades away which can only mean one thing.. the wizard is dead. we now see the woman walking behind him with the same pace as he falls down and only now you can see she has a sword in hand dripping blood.

eventually the young crown prince as mentioned in 3rd era preview post becomes the king and reveals the mysterious army helping them was team alpha from 3 kingdoms alliance.

oh yeah forgot to mention og i didn't consider this to be the same school but now that i think about it this kingdom should only have one school..ehhm so there were 2 friends there but one had unhappy childhood so unknown to us she started learning from exiled prince because she wanted power eventually joining him end even tho the whole situation was rather sith like 'yes anger no to friendship if you want power' the exiled prince just resolves things with his younger brother by telling him to be a good ruler or else "i'll be back" xD

oh yeah and the "punished" woman was only punished for show. also the reason we don't see her face is for comedic ending when she shows up at the table for supper all normally and unsuspicious for audience until new girl is wait a minute.. who this!?

Armored x Magic girls ‘title forever work in progress’ 3rd era

this era starts with a story in 4th kingdom. this kingdom differs from other in a way that they don't use magic which is around them but absorb it instead with their bodies being like batteries. magic users will often meditate trying to break their limit. story follows a girl that wants to join a special school, despite them also providing basic education they're also like a clan where those that want to stay can dedicate their lives to their interests. the kingdom has 3 problems and i'll go more into that in dedicated post. their king passed away and the youngest heir is stalling the ceremony (btw his older brother was exiled) spoiler he wants to resolve the issues first so that when he accepts the crown it will be a new beginning for the kingdom. he also wants to join the 3 kingdoms alliance but do to issues they don't want to be seen as policing this kingdom so he needs to deal with this if his kingdom is to truly join the alliance. on rare occasion a really powerful army shows up to save the day flying on the sky like dbz characters with many in the kingdom suspecting it's the secret guard of the soon to be king but they're actually from the alliance and their leader is dun dun dun the younger daughter of 1st era eye patch girl.

and that's why this is the 3rd era even tho there was no transition from 2nd but this stories are happening more then 20 years at least (ok just realized somethings are off maybe even more then 50 lol ) in the future from the 1st era's finale.

me saying how this stories are in the future and now i have to talk about next stories which are set in the past xD

a lot of other stories are about 4th kingdom's past

from it's starting days.

to stories where some women, different face keeps showing up and sacrificing herself in the face of tyranny to inspire next generations. could she be Irene. spoiler or maybe 3rd shadow whose a necromancer, maybe.

there was one with time travel but it had nothing to do with shadow. these are kinda unpolished fantasies.

few forgotten stories had monster hunting groups (inspired by mmo i played where the best gear was red and veterans could still be one shotted in raids if tanks skill was on cooldown xD ) and there was another planet where alien ships from 1st era crashed and whatever was on them changed the eco system and cities are now in spheres as outside is too dangerous.. just realized this one also had hunting groups lol and armored 1st era girl shows up here as apparently raven armor device is also among the crashed ships (umm idk this part didn't always sit well with me)(this story actually got recreated few times and in some versions it was earth and raven died in some version through time travel they meet and future Raven had broken system in left arm that makes you wonder what happened)

few things we find out in 3rd era is how Crimson castle actually had an army of red eyed vampires sleeping in their caskets.

also the 2nd kingdom will be more aware of something stirring up, the ancient vampires were awaken because of that and 1st era ruler girl has twin granddaughters one story could be how one of twins was send to earth as means of protecting just one heir as danger lurks and her mother's family all vampires and as well as you the audience would not know that and think she normal with her family being confused and comedically trying to figure out if that's really the case as it is rude to ask "so what are you?" xD

also there's a girl who can see magic. it's an ability of extinct race but some rare people have the gene. in her story a portal with monsters was opened and her friend kicked her out as it was closing and she stayed to hold them off.

and then the bards get a story of their own. but this are modern so they focus more on singing and in their story the kingdom didn't want to cause panic but there was a dangerous horde so bards organised a festival of concerts to distract but also help with gathered magic and as the magic sight girl who was commander of army sent to deal with hoard saw blue magic on the sky she saw it also meet with the red magic from opposite direction and ordered alarm as she flew in that direction much to everyone's confusion and then defeated looks from the bards and their principal as alarm went off then a wave of magic exploded breaking windows and we see principal holding a shield with her room filled with glass and everything tossed around she approaches the window and as she is looking down at people in the city she hears bells, a dragon and drums and sees in the sky multiple arrivals going in that direction and she herself joins them in the sky seeing flying ships, witches, dragon, 3rd kingdom's aircrafts, flying armies. and everyone gathered in front of a sphere there is banging coming from it as someone steps up and says "you did a good job but we're all here now" "you can rest" and the banging stops and sphere vanishes.

and then the finale happens 🥳

PS: 2nd kingdom had so many secrets did you know that in mountain chain there was another castle and a bunch of young dragons. compared to 2 ancient they're like cats next to lions.

This was the original art I drew for Trick, most likely while I was procrastinating on some homework.

Art of Trick, a man of the Third Era. Not much information on him, other than his cane is a magical relic that has survived the Death of Magic.

it was rare to see an elf without a permanent home. unattached to any of the known elven locations: imladris, mirkwood, lothlorien or the grey havens. but that was of no concern to the wandering smith of old.

considered dead again after the attack on his family, only the hobbits, twin sons and a passing ranger knew the truth. that halrë was alive and well. but that secrecy was lost the night gilraen brought her son to Rivendell, for he helped to keep them safe on the journey.

A quiet chuckle emanated from the direction of the tall blacksmith, before he straightened and glanced over. “That’s not difficult, Thran. At least you only had Legolas to raise. I had double the trouble to deal with.”

if second era lillandril and third era lillandril met, what would they say to each other?

OOC: Honestly, I’m not so sure they are dissimilar enough that there’d be anything groundbreaking they’d talk about. Third era Lillandril is more mellow and a bit more easygoing, but it is still the same Altmer. I think both would be wary of asking or telling too much as well, given the nature of time and the possible “grandfather paradox” effect. I imagine that would end up comparing notes on Magic - “oh, by the way, that whole business they taught us on the Isles about dispelling residual energy? It’s far more useful to rechannel that instead” - and gossip and reminisce about their shares past.
