Nero felt alive as the two dragons swirled around him. He impatiently waited for Ramses and Zara to plunge their dual attack down upon him, so he could he see their faces once he pulverized their attack into nothingness before counter-striking with his own attacks. The dragons began to dance quicker and quicker around him, and he knew the pinnacle of their attack was nigh. However, the progression of the attack took a turn which utterly confused Nero. The dragon emitting from Ramses dove towards Zara.…-

Ramses and Zara stood waiting on the large plaza before the BloodStar Castle. They wore white flowing robes with red accents characteristic of their heritage and fighting style. The robes blew softly in the gentle breeze as they stood next to one another patiently waiting until finally they heard the thud of heavy footsteps. They both looked across the plaza to see a war-torn Nero approaching. His skin was charred from shelling, he had open wounds dripping blood, and he wore a motivated yet menacing…

“All destroyers. This is King Ramses. Security authorization code 610045742. Fire all cruise missiles at your new target. Ground forces are acquiring the target as we speak. This is not a drill.” The announcement from King Ramses played over the bridge of a destroyer. The first officer looked to the captain, “The authorization code checks out, captain.” The captain nodded silently before yelling, “Men! We have received a direct order from our king in the command center.” He surveyed the room…

The beautiful woman stepped forward from the glowing tunnel of BloodStar roses. She wore a stunning white wedding dress, and the glow of the roses followed her as the rose petals braided into her hair glowed in the wake of the tunnel. As she emerged, the sky above shining bright and blue began to slowly fade to a dull grey with a red luster. As she stepped forward and her features became less diluted by the crimson glow, people began to question their very eyes. Whispers and murmurs rushed through the…

Jarek sat in the front row on the groom’s side of the congregation. He proudly looked on at Jacek standing at the altar with the priest awaiting Erika’s entrance. A congregation of the world’s most powerful, wealthy, and elite individuals had all taken their seats. A long tunneled-archway of BloodStar Roses stood at the center of the audience with its pathway exiting into an aisle flanked by rows of seats on both sides. Behind the archway, many more rows of stadium seating were filled to the brim…

Nero stood at the Khan marina a short distance from the castle. His large figure was covered in a loose, long dark robe with a hood as he stared off in the distance over the water. A clan leader approached him from behind, “You are certain these are your wishes? We could be of great help. Truly. You do not have to do it this way.” After witnessing Nero bloodbend, the clan leaders treated him as their de facto emperor for they knew if he could bloodbend, he also bore the title of BloodStar…

Deep within Bella Domina, Xenia stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror with two of her doppelgangers working around her fastening an elaborate Victorian-style wedding dress to her. The white wedding dress was free-flowing from the waist down; however, it began to hug her body from the hips upward until the lace material stopped halfway up her chest. From there, a fine, thin, white, and translucent meshwork covered the upper part of her chest and extended halfway up her neck. The meshwork also…

“Data points have been rolling in like crazy. I swear, void research hasn’t been this upbeat since the last Great War when Victoria was teleporting around the battlefield. It was a terrible time for humanity but a great time for research.” Starfallen swirled her glass of champagne as they stood watching the wedding guests fill in the thousand or so seats prepared. Jarek grimaced, “But you don’t know the source of these data points? Doesn’t’ that concern you? Shouldn’t you have brought this…

The morning of the wedding had arrived. With only three hours until the wedding ceremony, Jacek stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror fixing his hair until his best man Vega approached him from behind, “And here is your tuxedo jacket.” Vega held it up and put it on Jacek fixing it and smoothing out any wrinkles as Jacek positioned it comfortably over his white dress shirt. Jacek inspected his black-tie outfit in the mirror, “Did you hear about the mobilization on Khan Island last…

Elsewhere, within the BloodStar Empire, King Ramses and Queen Zara were troubled deep into the night. “We should be in the Sage Empire already. We cannot miss this wedding! It is too important!” Ramses paced in front of a long table. Zara sat at the table and nodded, “We can leave for the wedding as soon as our empire is taken care of. These movements worry me.” Ramses stopped pacing, “Every single family and clan aligned with the traditional old ways is mobilizing their troops… under the…
