Mr. Jenkins had arrived promptly the next morning to deliver Xenia to the White House. She was greeted by what seemed like an army of secret service agents along with Master Chief John Washington.

Then have it brought to me for dinner at the gala.” The loyal servant nodded and said, “It will be done General Xenia.” He paused before executing her orders and said, “To confirm. You wish…

Xenia had returned to her hotel famished. She sat alone in the hotel’s restaurant waiting for her food as she sipped a glass of red wine. The waiter approached Xenia and addressed her, “Princess BloodStar, we are pleased to serve an individual of your stature and as such the head chef is personally working on your dish to see that it is perfect in every way.

What did that woman do?” The surgeon turned to face the mother, “That woman is Princess Xenia BloodStar of the BloodStar Empire. She is one of the most gifted ki users the world…

Xenia casually discussed with the Board members specific details regarding the healthcare system in the United States as they walked through the hospital lobby. She noted out loud, “Your system does not seem to be either efficient or productive.

While Davis and Hammond continued biding their time by speculating on the events that may unfold in the coming days to years, a crowd gathered on a private airstrip in the same district of Washington D.C.
