BloodStar

Chapter 162: Break Up

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 but not informal as he and...

Chapter 161: Comfort Zone

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. Constance and I had th...

Chapter 160: Pillow Talk

A bright equatorial sun showered the room in warm natural light as Xenia lay flat in bed with white sheets covering the lower half of her body. Constance lay adjacent to her further down the bed running her finger down Xenia’s contoured oblique and abdominal muscles appreciating every chiseled groove as she continued to run her finger up and down Xenia’s body.

Constance looked up to Xenia smiling, “I can still feel it. My body just won’t stop buzzing with pleasure after last night. It’s incredible.”

Xenia reached out ...

Chapter 159: Double

Constance leaned up from the wall all smiles as her night had gone perfectly. Even more, she was now free to see Xenia, her true love and empress, for the remainder of the night.

She walked over to her set of double doors with anticipation. Her heart was racing as she opened the door, stepped through, and closed it behind her.

As she walked in, she was greeted by a beautiful siren-like voice which was irresistible to not only her but also every man on Earth, “Constance, love. Do you know how hard it’s been waiting for you up ...

Chapter 158: Perfect Date

It was well into the evening, and Erika and Constance had more than made their rounds together. While it had made for a great image, Constance was exhausted from entertaining and conversing with Erika.

After several hours, Erika was finally pulled away for a private conversation with several VIP’s from the Starfallen Empire. Constance felt a rush of relief within her, and she would’ve killed to be able to openly roll her eyes at Erika; however, she used every ounce of her discipline to wish her a good night.

Constance thought...

Chapter 157: An Unlikely Pairing

Vega leaned on an elaborate railing of a third floor balcony overseeing the arrival of a diverse group of VIP’s as they filtered out of their fancy cars and onto the red carpet as they entered the Khan Ballgown Dinner.

His trip had been uneventful, and he wore a bespoke tuxedo which complemented his muscular body. As the number of cars dwindled from the valet line, he quietly said to himself, “Well. Here goes nothing. Dinner date in front of the world with a former enemy-of-the-state.”

He walked back inside from the balcony...

Chapter 156: Two Dates Secured

As the hooded figure revealed themselves, Constance immediately realized her folly. She attempted to immediately fall to the floor, “Forgive me, my-“

However, both her movements and her words were cut short. With the hood fully down, Constance laid eyes upon her visitor.

“I really shouldn’t be here, but I miss you so Constance.” Constance had been pulled out of her kneeling position and stood back up, “I don’t ever require you to kneel.”

Constance bowed her head, “Yes, my empress.”

Xenia smiled at ...

Chapter 155: Unexpected Visitors

Jacek made his way down the castle steps and over to the docks where the superyacht Blood Wake awaited him and the others for the day. He was ahead of the others in his party including Erika as he intended to do a security sweep of the boat before the others arrived.

He stepped aboard the massive yacht which measured over 500 meters in length. He suddenly realized that a sweep of this massive ship would take close to an hour. He sighed to himself and decided to at least walk the open perimeter of the top deck.

As he approached th...

Chapter 154: Shadow Slave

Constance awoke early the next morning as her clock struck 4:00 AM. With strict discipline she immediately rose from her bed and donned tight, skimpy exercise shorts and an equally slutty sports bra.

Within minutes of waking, she had descended her perch at the top of the castle and entered the depths of the dungeon. She yawned as she stretched her arms out above her. She then looked ahead to see three random men tied to chairs.

“My attendants never fail me. Where did they find you three I wonder?” She walked up to the first o...

Chapter 153: Ravaging Dream

Both Constance and Jacek drifted into sleep entering the same shared dream.

Jacek had the unusual sensation of being able to observe without full control of his body or actions. He thought to himself, “What an incredibly real dream. But a dream to be sure. This must be my first lucid dream I’ve ever experienced.”

He looked around as he stood in a massive master suite with design cues as if he were in Khan Castle. He wanted to move and walk around; however, he found his actions to be out of his control yet still.

“Ja...

Chapter 152: Can’t Escape Temptation

Jacek’s eyes darted upwards to meet Constance’s stare. She smiled at him and raised her right forearm up from the water and snapped her fingers.

“You must know something of my illusion ki. With the snap of my fingers, I have created a visual illusion surrounding this entire hot tub. Any security camera, paparazzi camera, viewing eyes from attendants, viewing eyes from Erika… will all see us sitting far, very far, from one another… no matter how close we are.” Constance leaned forward and moved towards Jacek as she ...

Chapter 151: The Fourth Branch

Constance stood in front of her floor to ceiling mirror within her enormous bathroom housed within the master suite at the upper most point of Khan Castle.

She wore a black two-piece swimsuit with a shiny luster to it. Her outfit showed off her long toned legs, flat abs, and salacious cleavage. She didn’t need anyone to tell her, Constance knew she had a body that epitomized perfection in today’s sexual culture. So much so that even she found herself turned on.

She eyed herself up and down in the mirror, “Mmm. God, I want m...

Update

Hey everyone, I'm having a lot of fun writing this story, and I have a put a lot of thought and effort into where the story is going from here.  By my estimation, with my current plans, the story is only about 10% finished at this point.  Things will get crazy, things will get bloody, things will get very interesting, and things will definitely get sexy as the story continues and really begins to take off in my opinion.  That said, life has gotten a bit busy at the moment, so I am going to have to go on a break for a bit until...

Chapter 150: Khan Island Itinerary

Ramses and Zara sat together at a table on a beautiful terrace overlooking an equally beautiful view of the ocean below. There was nothing simple about the scene as they all had mimosas and appetizers within the castle of a very recent enemy of war as they attempted to avert yet another war within their own empire.

Ramses took a sip of a surprisingly pleasant mimosa. He sat the drink down gently upon the table and looked to the swarm of people that had since shown up, “So to avoid a civil war, we have to be dragged through the mud of...

Chapter 149: Mimosas and Appetizers

“Do you need me to arrange a meeting with Ramses and Zara, or are you certain you can handle things?” Nero sat deep within Bella Domina speaking on the phone.

“Nero, darling. I’m the girl who thrives at handling things like this. Or did Xenia not tell you why she so confidently chose me for this task?” Constance walked the halls of her castle on Khan Island wearing an off the shoulder tight-fitting white dress which was fashionably short.

She smiled and followed up, “How is Xenia by the way?”

Nero frowned, “...

Chapter 148: Ready for the Beach

Jacek returned to ground level and made way to his new office. He opened the door and stepped in softly saying to himself, “This place is nearly as grand as my father’s.”

Upon entering, he walked nearly 30 feet down the room to his large presidential desk at a set of bay windows overlooking the gardens. The room had magnificent and tall ceilings with hand-crafted elements throughout the room including the elaborate crown molding.

He threw himself down into a plump leather executive chair and silently sat in thought, “Ther...

Chapter 147: 110% Certain

Several days after the BloodStar funeral had captivated the world, Jarek sat at his oversized desk crafted from the empire’s finest oak woods. He flipped through a medical report consisting of results from various tests including next-generation sequencing, minimal residual ki, chimerism studies, and other state-of-the-art laboratory tests.

The chief medical officer of the Heraklinos Empire, Dr. Kimbrough, sat across from him waiting patiently. Thus far, Jarek had silently and intently read Dr. Kimbrough’s report for thirty minutes...

Chapter 146: BloodStar Funeral

Jarek, Michael, and Erika rode in a black SUV with deeply tinted windows as they rode towards Bella Domina to attend the funeral.

They were still miles away, yet Jarek couldn’t help but notice, “Great God. There must be over 100,000 people here today. They are huddled in every inch for miles and miles.”

Michael nodded, “Reports put the number of people who have gathered in person around the cathedral to be upwards of 250,000. A staggering one billion are expected to watch the ceremony via broadcast.”

Jarek whipped...

Chapter 145: Funeral Arrangements

“She is alive! She is alive, and I know it!” Jarek paced angrily on the terrace of the Basilica within the Holy Light Empire capital only 20 miles from Bella Domina.

St. Michael sat relaxed taking in the sun and calmly responded, “She is dead.” He looked to Jarek meeting eyes, “Or did you not see her skewered belly, obliterated heart, and crushed head? Who am I kidding… you are the one who crushed her head. Of course you saw it. So why won’t you believe it?”

He turned his head and looked out over the capi...

Chapter 144: Stormy Night

Constance piloted a militarized cargo plane of the BloodStar Empire as Ashrok sat in the holding area in the rear with Xenia’s corpse, or at least what remained of her corpse.

Constance spoke into her headset speaking to Ashrok, “Is it done?”

Ashrok looked onto a tablet monitor in his hands observing live feed from a drone they had left behind to view the battle. He turned the monitor off and leaned his head back sorrowfully against the hull of the plane. He then quietly replied, “It is done.”

Neither Constance no...

Chapter 143: The Dawn of a New Age

Jarek stepped forward and yelled, “You can’t kill us all, Victoria. You have arrived at your own funeral. Surely you have come for something. What is it you want?”

Jarek did find the situation to be unusual. The Victoria he knew would have been furious and rageful at the sight of her dead daughter. Instead, she was cool, calm, and collected. None of it added up.

Victoria shook her head, “Is it so surprising that I want to avenge the death of my daughter? Xenia was the family jewel, my heir, my life blood.”

Victori...

Chapter 142: The Right Decision Isn’t the Easy Decision

Jarek stood with Master Sage and St. Michael at the meeting area as the others including Master Chief Washington, Arthur Davis, Katya Nova, Ramses, and Zara watched from the camp site in the distance filled with anxiety.

Jarek stood with his sword drawn resting on the ground with his hands atop the hilt. He looked to the citadel and spoke to Erika and St. Michael behind him, “This is the most important moment of your life. It may not be honorable to execute an enemy at a negotiation; however, history will see it as a necessary evil t...

Chapter 141: The Crimson Witch

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! You have some answering to...

Chapter 140: Ceremonial Conception

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 need. Right here.” She stopp...

Chapter 139: As The Rush Comes

“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 otherwise very long war. I c...

Chapter 138: Xenia Can Heal Her

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 the first time since his ba...

Chapter 137: Tea Time

Erika sat at a luxurious table on a sunbathed terrace waiting for Xenia, “Where is she?! How uncouth to make a Master wait this long. The title of Warlord hardly gives her the right to treat a Master as such.”

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 f...

Chapter 136: Not-So-Friendly Sparring

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 shouted back down to Ja...

Chapter 135: Raw Power

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 looked at the mirror in front...

Chapter 134: Respect

After having her fun with Jacek, Xenia was terribly hungry. She had excused Jacek from her master suite and 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 just hungry.”

Unfortunately for Karasu, ...
