Xenia walked into the chamber holding the remaining 500 prisoners that had been summoned. She held a long leather bull whip in her hands. Her body was covered in blood, and her dress was absolutely drenched; however, she quickly bloodbent the blood from her body and clothes allowing the blood to fall to the ground as she continued walking in a now flawless dress with flawless skin and hair. The soldiers cowered to the end of the chamber as they saw her walking towards them; however, Xenia took no notice…-

Constance stood atop the citadel’s rampart facing East with a stern look on her face as she ensured the safety of those within the citadel. She had failed her Warlord once before, and she wasn’t keen on failing again, ever. From both afar and near, she was all but invisible owing to her illusion ki which was active. Soldiers walked past her on the rampart clueless to her presence, and enemy spotters were even more oblivious to her whereabouts. However, one person knew exactly where she stood. Xenia…

Early the next morning as the sun was just beginning to rise, Zara met Ramses for coffee and with a hushed but concerned voice asked, “Have you heard from Erinel?” Ramses shook his head as he took a sip of his coffee, “Nothing. I even tried calling him. My call went straight to voicemail.” Zara shook her head, “Same with my calls. What happened last night?” Ramses put his coffee down on the table, “We may not be able to find out the entire story, but we should report the information we do…

“What do you mean? Calm down and speak slowly. Be calm.” Ramses and Zara encouraged their informant within the BloodStar Castle to maintain his composure. “I mean Zara had a look of concern as she silently looked to Ramses and then said, “Whatever it is. It is best you update us immediately after whatever is going on. But Erinel. Be safe.” Erinel nodded and replied, “I will give you an update as soon as I can. And don’t worry about my safety. The Blood Wraiths and the Blood Priests are…

Jacek watched as hundreds of his soldiers returned across the siege line from the citadel. He stood with his arms crossed thinking to himself, “Each and every soldier unharmed and released. Xenia has kept her promise. I’m impressed.” A commanding officer ran up to Jacek and reported in, “Lord Heraklinos, sir!” Jacek turned to him, “Report commander.” The commander saluted Jacek and began his report, “Master Heraklinos has received word from General Magnus that the rebel attacks in the…

Xenia sat in a chair wearing her all-black leather military outfit with her legs and boots hiked up on a metal table waiting. It was a relatively small room in a building that had been erected halfway between the BloodStar Citadel and the Allied Forces siege line for the purpose of neutral ground negotiations. She puffed on a cigar blowing nearly perfect smoke rings that reached all the way across the room while maintaining their circular form. She heard the door opposite her open, and Jacek Heraklinos…

Only a few hours earlier, Xenia stood alone deep within the BloodStar Citadel. She looked through a viewing glass into a holding chamber with an occupancy of well over a thousand soldiers; however, she had only filled it with one hundred soldiers for the first round of painful executions. She put her hair into a high ponytail and grabbed her gas mask as she stepped through the air-tight door to the chamber and walked straight to the center of it. She drew all the men’s attention as she wore her…

Arthur cruised in his private plane with fighter jet escorts flanking him on both sides. As he was alone, he had a good deal of time to spend only with his thoughts. “What the hell have I gotten myself into? War crime after war crime, she has never known a limit in private. However, on the world stage, she will never be accepted by other leaders if she keeps this up. Compound X. If she is caught using that there will be no future for her… or me.” He slumped into his chair caught between a rock…

Jarek stood outside of a psychiatry inpatient room looking through the viewing window waiting for the doctor to exit. The doctor stepped out and she looked to Jarek with an apprehensive smile as she said, “Master Heraklinos. It is an honor to find you waiting for me once again. However, I am afraid after many days, we still have little to no progress.” She gave a deep breath and said, “But don’t worry. Time is her friend even if it means taking months.” Jarek put his hand on the shoulder of…

On a dark, stormy night with the waves crashing against the tall rocky cliffs surrounding BloodStar Castle, Empress Victoria sat in a chair in a room illuminated only by the flickering flames emitted from the fireplace nearby. She sat drinking a glass of red-wine blood as she sifted through the papers of both her archives and the stolen Heraklinos Empire archive papers. As she sifted through the papers, there were both long stretches of texts to read and long stretches of predominately images to view.…
