General Mattison huffed and puffed stewing in anger as he ascended the staircase to the plaza of Bella Domina. Every second since he had returned to the Holy Light Empire’s capital city, he had intended to confront Nero for his cowardice, and that moment had finally arrived. He walked along the plaza and up to the ornate doors decorating the entrance of Bella Domina. He swung them open to enter the architectural marvel, and he immediately spotted Nero and another at the head of the cathedral. “Nero!…-

Xenia sat in her study pouring over digital scans of the BloodStar archival material as well as the supplemented material stolen from the Heraklinos archives. The two sets of documents perfectly complimented one another. As it was the night before the week was up, Xenia knew full well this may be her last real uninterrupted chance with Jacek to create an heir, and she wasn’t keen to waste such a golden opportunity. She held a furrowed brow reading and thinking to herself, “This is exactly what I…

“I can’t say I agree with your decision.” General Mattison puffed on his cigar before continuing, “But it sounds like there is nothing I can do to change your mind.” Xenia leaned her back against the wall as they stood on the battlements of the citadel wall, “No. There isn’t.” Mattison put his hands on the ledge and looked down at the army under his command marching out of the citadel gates. Xenia crossed her arms, “Don’t look so distraught General. This is just a pause in an…

Xenia stared down at Jacek massaging his strong arm reaching to grasp her neck. He let up his grip briefly to allow her to speak, “You’re at full power. I’m at full power. This is what we have been waiting for, isn’t it Jacek? Let’s see who can dominate who.” Simultaneously, Jacek and Xenia put a hand around each other’s throat as they began to squeeze with all of their strength. Xenia’s robe slipped off further as she sat atop Jacek who had since undressed as well. Jacek powered up for…

Erika sat at a luxurious table on a sunbathed terrace waiting for Xenia, “Where is Erika had been waiting for what seemed like forever as the time went on thirty minutes. Finally, as Erika was just about to lose her patience entirely, Xenia walked through the door and out on to the terrace, “Erika! So good to see you dear. How have you been? I must say things have been going just great for me.” Xenia walked up to the table in her short black silk robe with flowing sleeves and took a seat across…

Jarek, Erika, and a small group of elite soldiers approached the gates of the citadel. They stopped as the sentry men atop the defensive walls shouted, “Who goes there?!” Jarek shouted back up to the men, “I am Jarek Heraklinos, and this is Erika Sage. We demand an audience with Xenia BloodStar.” The sentries were stunned, “Jarek Heraklinos? Shit! Get Mattison on the radio immediately, so he can contact the Warlord!” One sentry frantically raced to get Mattison on the line while the other…

Later in the evening, Jacek found himself alone in the gym. The soldiers were all preparing for Mattison’s large scale plans leaving no one with time to exercise. It had been a long time since he lifted weights without the assistance of ki. He felt like he was back in the days of his youth. He grabbed a few dumbbells and sat down on a bench preparing to do overhead shoulder presses. However, before he could even begin, he heard the door open and close as someone walked in to the gym joining him. He…

After having her fun with Jacek, Xenia was terribly hungry. She had excused Jacek from her master suite following their fun, and she had approximately 30 minutes before her meeting with the generals to discuss further strategy. She looked to the dish housing Karasu and said, “I think I have plenty of time to enjoy my lunch.” She lifted the dish lid to reveal a scared Karasu who looked up at her with eyes of fear. She caressed his face, “Don’t be scared Karasu. I am not here to kill you. I’m…

Xenia laughed and conversed with her soldiers at the citadel shooting range. Soldiers had their pick from nearly any firearm they could imagine with countless accessories and countless ammunition to practice shooting with. The soldiers egged her on, “Come on Warlord! Show us your legendary shooting skills!” Others called out, “Is it true you are a top ranked sniper too?!” She laughed them off and said, “My shooting days are over boys. I prefer a sword nowadays. It’s so much more personal,…

After dressing himself, Jacek exited Xenia’s master suite and made for the small holding cell where he and Xenia last observed Katya. Jacek looked around with bewilderment as he freely strolled through the middle of the BloodStar Citadel thinking to himself, “Who would have ever thought that I, heir to the Heraklinos Empire and sworn enemy to the BloodStar Empire in this war, would have free reign as a prisoner from behind enemy lines.” Soldiers eyed him suspiciously as he walked through camp;…
