Xenia stood at the base of the pyramid she had built from 10,000 alive soldiers. She smiled with delight at the base of the square pyramid where the moaning and screaming from the soldiers bearing the most weight were located. The bodies were laid in alternating directions one after the other to minimize the space between them. Nonetheless, small gaps existed. This was no problem for Nero’s massive feet which scaled the pyramid without a second thought. Xenia, however, relied on a different method for…-

The two warriors assumed an aggressive boxing-style stance with their arms up as they began to move in a circular pattern maintaining a safe distance from one another. Both men stood over 6 feet tall, both men commanded the pinnacle of strength, both men possessed lightning-fast speed, and both men had reached the height of their respective positions within their empires. Xenia stood silent at the front of the perimeter with a smirk on her face and her arms crossed under her chest while the thousands of…

General Secutor stood at the head of his legion under a red sky. A mild drizzle began to fall from the sky as he watched the carnage of the city center in the aftermath of Nero’s desolation of the Sage Empire legion. Secutor rubbed his hand down his face to clear the rain from his vision and was surprised to see a smear of red blood on his hand. As he stared at his hand, he thought to himself, “So this is the blood rain that precedes the BloodStar eminence.” He took a deep breath as the rainfall…

Nero drudged along the main boulevard heading towards the Sage Palace. The capital city was now awash in a red tint from the ever-growing BloodStar glowing overhead. Nero held his war hammer, Blood Cry, over his shoulder, and he took in a deep breath which invigorated him. This was his first time bathing in the presence of a BloodStar since he had become a BloodStar Immortal, and he felt encompassed with pure energy with it overhead. After several more minutes of walking, Nero begin to feel the ground…

Moments earlier, the central market square of the Sage Empire capital city was bustling with thousands of citizens going about their daily lives. While the passing of Master Erika Sage had blanketed the empire in a sullen mood, the lives of its citizens went on. The capital city metropolitan area was home to nearly 30 million people and represented the largest metropolitan area within the Sage Empire. The population density was extremely high with pockets of significant space only reserved for public…

A marching line of Heraklinos soldiers all outfitted in the same armor moved through a line of readiment outside the Sage Palace grounds. Each soldier from the Secutor Legion received a Sage Empire shield. The shields were tall and slender with a black onyx-like coating with a ki-made by-product from cursecraft. Secutor stood with a shield in his hand, “So these are the legendary Sage shields? How do you have so many of them?” Secutor’s counterpart, General Kublai, stood adjacent to Secutor and…

The great hall of BloodStar Castle was littered with sadistic delicacies prepared by Constance for Xenia. Long tables stretched the length of the hall on both sides of a central walkway, and both tables presented various cuts of dead and alive meats. One table housed recently decapitated heads with the upper part of the calvarium removed. The brains of all of the severed heads had been blended into a thick soup and diced cubes of spleen had been dropped in. The rim of the skull was salted with a tropical…

A man of strong build stood at a towering 6’5” with his hands behind his back as he looked on at Jacek and Jarek training in Perfect Warrior. The mountainside no longer had peaks and valleys. Instead, it was a pile of earthly rubble with large chunks of rock and earth carved up and toppled by the Heraklinos men’s attacks. The tall man stood peacefully as he watched on with pride for his empire thinking, “Xenia is in trouble now. I recall Jarek saying he would never sustain Perfect Warrior for…

“Master Heraklinos.” Hammond smiled as he sat at his desk within the oval office of the White House, “I hope I haven’t caught you at a bad time.” “A bad time?” Jarek smirked, “President Hammond, we live in bad times.” Hammond nodded, “Indeed. And yet I am afraid my call here today only confirms the sign of our times.” Jarek furrowed his brow, “Your call “The United States hereby recuses itself from the alliance with the Heraklinos Empire. We no longer support your actions by…

Having stood from the couch, Hammond now faced Xenia across from her as she inched her tight leather pants back on. “So, President Hammond. I’m sure you know why I am here.” Xenia finished inching her pants on and securely zipped and buttoned them before looking up at Hammond. “Well, of course I do. You are here to add the United States into the fold of your empire.” Xenia smiled at him with approval, “So are you ready? Is your country ready to accept me as their ruler?” Hammond gave a…
