Jarek stood at a prominent and beautiful backdrop surrounded by tall, white columns at the entrance to the main palace as he prepared to give his response to the press that had gathered before him. He began, “As the spokesperson for the Master Family Alliance, I have the honor of relaying our response to Xenia BloodStar’s ultimatum. Jacek has ultimately decided against entering a marital relationship with Warlord BloodStar.” The press gasped as cameras flashed and a stir of anxiety buzzed through…-

News crews gathered around the front gates of the enormous mansion preparing for the imminent press conference. A notice had been sent out to all major news outlets that this press conference would contain sensitive information regarding world tensions. Suddenly, the gates began to open, and news crews rushed in to vie for the best spots to capture the footage and ask follow-up questions. Atop the ornate staircase leading up to the mansion, Xenia stood at a podium wearing her usual all-black leather…

A completely black and murdered-out armored SUV unexpectedly pulled in to the circle drive of President Davis’s mansion deep in the heart of Dallas, Texas. Guards dressed in suits rushed to the drive armed with fully automated machine guns and yelled, “Step out of the vehicle slowly!” The windows were tinted, and the sun was setting on the evening offering no additional light to see within the vehicle. The door suddenly popped open, and a long leg covered in sheer pantyhose stepped out. Xenia…

Two men climbed from the shallow depths of the shoreline covered in only a slender crescent of moonlight from above on an otherwise pitch-black night. The two men removed the thermal wetsuits they had worn to swim a mile from their offshore stealth boat to reach the shore undetected. Jacek removed his backpack and opened a case. He reached in and grabbed a green stone. Vega asked, “That’s not a stealth stone. What is that?” Jacek smiled to Vega, “A gift from Erika. A ki stone.” Vega raised…

Two young men in their thirties approached the colosseum in the capital city of the Holy Light Empire. “Can you believe Xenia is going after the two richest men in our nation? Nathaniel and Solomon have so much power. Is she shooting herself in the foot? They have all the connections in this country needed to run it smoothly.” The first man was genuinely curious of Xenia’s angle as they entered the stadium with their tickets. The second man laughed his concerns off, “Xenia is doing this for us.…

Deep within the heart of the Heraklinos palace, in a deep and dark room of the lower levels of the basement, Erika sat with her legs crossed on the floor. She held her arms out bent at the elbow with upward-facing open palms parallel to the floor. Above each palm, she collected a dark, mysterious ki energy. Arranged in a circle around Erika were concentric layers of candles that filled the entire room save for two stones that sat three yards in front of her. She sat with her eyes closed and concentrated…

In the shared provincial capital city of the two wealthiest men of the Holy Light Empire, columns of highly organized and highly trained soldiers marched in unison outside of a disgustingly magnificent mansion spanning a half mile long. Ten columns of soldiers stopped in unison and turned to face the mansion. Each column numbered ten thousand soldiers. The man commanding the 100,000 soldiers in total marched at the head of the group in front of the mansion. “Men! Today is the day we begin our journey!…

An hour later, Xenia had healed every single commoner who had appeared before her in the basilica. Over five hundred individuals had come to be healed, and she didn’t leave until seeing every one of them. The ailments ranged from cancer, broken arms, congenital syndromes, mental illness, and more. The people hailed her as a God which she happily accepted, and word had even gotten back to her of her unofficial title amongst the people, ‘St. BloodStar the Healer’. She smiled every time she heard the…

Xenia sat at the desk within the vault in the lower levels of the Holy Light Empire Basilica. Michael appeared at the entrance; however, Xenia took no note of him as she continued to examine her sword, BloodBane. She then raised it up to admire it, “Finished!” She carefully placed it on the desk and turned her head, “Hello, Michael. I have just finished upgrading my sword with the materials you so carefully provided for me.” He smiled and looked to the black obsidian sword hilt, “Upgraded you…

Xenia walked through a bustling construction site in her all-black leather outfit complete with knee high boots and gloves. She had a childish grin on her face as she watched the workers hustle away from task to task. She walked up to a table with blueprints laid out and admired them. Her admiration was then interrupted by a voice, “She is going to be beautiful. Second to none.” Xenia welcomed the interruption, “Architect Wright, I was hoping to run into you. So, you like my designs?” Wright…
