"Ironbound" - Chapter 152 **End of Season Two**

Hello everyone and welcome to my story Ironbound.

This will serve as the central hub where I'll compile everything in to a neat-ish and tidy-ish format.

Synopsis

Ironbound is set in a dark, brutal world many light-years away from earth. Set about a decade after a 600 year war and follows Shaela Amaya, a Helsian warrior who is forced to live amongst her peoples long-time enemy as part of the peace treaty between their races.



Ironbound is set-up in two ways. The story itself, and an Information Database I've created for my world. The database takes the form of an A.I. by the name of XIN. You can access the story through these links:

Ironbound
Xaabos Information Nexus

This is if you're starting from the beginning, as it appears in chronological order. If you're already reading the story and need to access a particular chapter, I'll include a list of those below:

Here is the part in the story where I forgot to introduce the Emperor (AKA the host) to anyone. He goes out on an adventure to meet new people. Technically they're not chapters, just little snippets and captions - but I'm adding them here to serve chronological purposes, that and they're humorous.
