Battle is an Art

Herah War Hej was many things: master artist, zealot teen, and unfortunate participant. One thing she was not, was human. Born in a universe where humanity never appeared, the artist is a Cendreux; a species of dragon-like, humanoid conquerors who’ve turned their backs on their god. She hopes to reverse this course so as to forge weapons for her race’s planet conquering needs in peace. Before she can do either, however, Herah must first take part in a deadly game known as Recompense. Chosen as one of her universe’s representatives thanks to her mysterious power known as Gift by her Maker, Norwe, the artist must complete a series of “acts”, each having its own simple but heinous task to accomplish before it can be completed. If won, she shall be granted a single wish of almost anything she desires. If lost, the few things she loves will be destroyed. With this threat hanging over her head, Herah has to grapple with not just entertaining her Maker, but working with the hostile human leading her team and pushing through both sins from the past and the ones she’s committing in the present. Herah is in for the battle of her life. But she is a master artist, and Battle is an Art.
