This story's first six chapters were originally submitted on Kindle Vella before Kindle Vella was shut down by Amazon. There might be some issues with spacing due to lack of ability to indent paragraphs on the blog design I use. I use my fantasy author pen name for it.  Now available on Fiction Press: https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3376811/1/Triumphalism and Royal Road: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/119666/triumphalism/chapter/2337484/the-prologue
