A man stood in Shadow manor with a worried expression on his face as he hung up the phone. He looked to another man, “General Preston says to forget about it, and she will have Nero deal with it personally.” The other man took a big gulp, “But we’ve already informed First General Ulysses Curtis of the event. He’s on his way here right now.” “I know. Shit.” The man shook his head, “Ultimately, it will be up to General Curtis. He does outrank Third General Preston, after all.” As luck…-

Xenia threw her mask to the floor as she bent down to retrieve Mallory’s phone. She smiled with great joy as she shook it gently in her hand and walked back over to Mallory. “Did you know that I can even bloodbend vocal cords?” Xenia smiled inches away from her face as Mallory shook her head ‘No’. Xenia then began to redial the number that had been power dialing her, “I’ll show you.” The phone began to ring, and a worried voice immediately picked up, “General Preston! Thank God you are…

Nero led Mallory through Bella Domina as he took her on a long and winding tour thinking to himself, “How long until Xenia returns? She Mallory clung to Nero’s arm nestling her cheek up against his broad shoulder, “Nero. You are rock-solid. Are you the strongest ki user in the western hemisphere? You must be stronger than St. Michael, right?” Nero grunted, “Stronger than St, Michael, yes. Strongest in the western hemisphere, no.” She laughed, “Oh I find that hard to believe. Who could be…

Xenia picked herself up and massaged her cheek where she was slapped. It was an unusual sight to see such a beautiful woman be assaulted without anyone rushing to her aid; however, no one wanted to land themselves on General Preston’s bad side. The crowd began to slowly scatter although most eyes were still glued to Xenia for many reasons including both the spectacle that had just occurred and her absolutely killer body and outfit. While General Preston may have prevented anyone from rushing to…

Nero and Xenia gracefully climbed the stairs leading up to the mansion entrance. As they approached the main entrance they passed ornate columns supporting a three-story tall awning overhead. A muscular man in a suit welcomed them with a clipboard in hand, “Welcome to the Masquerade Ball, may I have your names.” Nero grunted at the man and then in a rough voice said, “I am Nero. This is Sareena Night, my date.” The man looked up and down the pages and flipped through his clipboard pages, “I am…

The yacht, Blood Wake, approached a large marina in one of the BloodStar Empire’s largest bays. Constance and Vega, Erika and Jacek, and Ramses and Zara all sat aboard as they planned to soon make their first public appearance as a group all together. It wasn’t long before the massive yacht was docked and the gangway secured. Ramses and Zara were the first to exit greeted by cheers from a crowd of both reporters and spectators. Erika and Jacek were next to walk the gangway down to stand by Ramses and…

Xenia stood in her master suite with all of her clothes for the masquerade ball laid out on her bed in front of her. Her phone began to ring, and she ignored it at first; however, after glancing to see that it was Constance, she eagerly answered it. “Constance! Hello!” “Xenia! Hey, are you free? Can you teleport me there for a quick request?” Constance wasted no time cutting to the chase. Xenia quickly replied, “Yes. One moment. Where are you?” “My bedroom in Khan Castle.” Xenia held…

Elsewhere, Xenia descended a staircase into a large underground training room. The room was massive measuring over 200 yards in both length and width. The ceiling also loomed high overhead 50 yards above. Bella Domina had an imposing presence above ground with a square footage to impress; however, underground Bella Domina was more than twice the size of its above ground counterpart. Nero walked the perimeter of the room placing stones which had been infused with ki. After placing nearly thirty stones, he…

Vega found his way to the billiards room he and Constance had played in the night before to find that he was the first one to arrive. He inspected the pool sticks which hung along the wall to find one that fit his style best, “Ah yes, this one should do just fine. 19 ounces, 61 inches. And this time, I’ll actually get to use it.” Vega leaned against the pool table, crossed his ankles, and folded his arms as he waited. He wore a dark shade of blue jeans and a white polo t-shirt. His wear was casual…

Nero meditated at the bottom of a shallow staircase leading up to an imposing throne deep within Bella Domina. He had been there for nearly 12 hours honing his mental fortitude as he waited for Xenia to return. Suddenly, the moment he had been waiting for arrived. A small flicker of electricity appeared and quickly turned into a black void from which Xenia stepped through and into her throne room at Bella Domina. She smiled down at Nero from the steps above, “Sorry to keep you waiting Nero, darling.…
