“Hush! Shhh!” Xenia smiled at Morgana as she yelled and begged, “Haven’t you learned even one thing tonight? Your mouth just keeps getting you into more and more trouble, Morgana.” Xenia bloodbent Morgana’s throat silent and walked over to her putting her finger up to Morgana’s lips, “So shhhhh. Be a good girl and stay quiet while Constance and I change into something a little more… fun.” She couldn’t speak, but Morgana’s eyes went wide with fear as she began pleading with her…-

“If I may Empress Xenia-” Constance began but was quickly hushed. “You may not.” Xenia interrupted her and turned to Draxus, “Draxus, I’ve had a lot of fun tonight.” She walked up to him and caressed the back of his head with her arms wrapped around his head and neck gently as she smiled into his eyes. “Needless to say, we have unfinished business.” She kissed him on the lips, “It’s traditional for BloodStar weddings to have a challenger. Why don’t you challenge Nero at my…

“CRACK!” The tile on the wall splintered as they emerged from the void portal with Xenia forcefully shoving Draxus’s head into the wall as they kissed. The force of the blow knocked Draxus out cold. The back of his head endured a large gash which bled profusely, and he slumped against the wall until he reached a sitting position against the ground. Xenia mused with a smile on her face, “So fragile, Draxus. But don’t think that is going to stop me.” Xenia fell to her knees and began to ride…

From the shadows twenty-five additional men slowly emerged. They were all tall, muscular, and lean wearing nothing more than a loincloth. “May I introduce to you, the top twenty-five gladiators of your empire. Not counting the Champion Nero himself, of course, who is the number one undisputed champion.” Constance introduced the men to Xenia before addressing them directly. “Men, this is your Empress. Xenia Victoria BloodStar. The colosseum exists because of her passion and love for fighting to the…

Xenia and Constance continued down the hallway until Constance stopped in front of another door where she motioned with her hand to Xenia, “After you.” Xenia entered to find a much larger room than the first. The room was furnished like a bedroom with a king-sized bed in the middle underneath a chandelier; however, the periphery of the room was shrouded in darkness. Constance took Xenia’s hand and led her to the illuminated bed in the center of the room. “Please. Take a seat my…

The party had drawn long in the tooth for Xenia as she grew bored of her elite subjects fawning over her. A jolly, overweight man tipsy on some of the finest wine in the world laughed as he spoke to Xenia, “Regardless of which fief of land my Empress gifts to me, I will spend the lion’s share of my time right here in the capital. Really, I can think of no other place in the world I’d rather reside than here in the seat of power in the world.” Xenia gently put her hand on his shoulder as she…

Meanwhile, within the Heraklinos Empire, the rain continued to beat against the large windows of the Heraklinos Palace, and the thunder rattled the room in which Jarek and Starfallen sat, all alone. The lights flickered as another thunder boomed directly overhead. Starfallen leaned forward with her elbows on the table and an air of enthusiasm in her demeanor, something few ever saw from her, “All of our models have been proven true! There has been a complete resurgence in data regarding our study of…

The atrium of BloodStar Castle was alive with the bustle of wealthy elites from around the relatively small empire abuzz with the return of their empress. Guests were dressed to the nines with men in full tuxedos and women in ball gown dresses. Servers gracefully rushed to ensure everyone’s drink was topped off and everyone’s belly content. The concentrated wealth and power in the room, even without Xenia’s presence, was paired by an opulent atrium with handrails, chandeliers, stairs steps, door…

Guests had begun to gather within the massive atrium of BloodStar Castle to celebrate the return of their BloodStar Empress. Some guests were nervous, some guests were ecstatic, some guests weren’t sure what to think, and some guests were secretly displeased. If she wanted to genuinely win over the entirety of the upper echelon of BloodStar society, Xenia had her work cut out for her. Constance walked through the atrium greeting the early arrivers with a glamorous dress and energetic smile. Guests…

It had begun to storm within the capital of the Heraklinos Empire. Heavy rain battered the large windows, and lightning streaked across the suddenly dark sky. Within the conference room of the Heraklinos Palace, politicians and leaders from around the world had gathered following the wedding. Most were afraid to leave the safety of Heraklinos grounds while others looked to iron out a plan after being completely surprised by the appearance of Xenia. President Hammond wasn’t one here by way of cowardice,…
