"3, 2, 1… FIGHT!" the referee shouted. Both of the fighters threw punches at each other, and the crowd cheered. Benjo got hit, Chad got punched, and they just kept striking each other. In the video's of their previous fights they made me watch, they just wrestled and pinned each other, and it was boring. Chad got knocked to the ground and got up once more, then Benjo did the same. Mark and I watched in silence. A few minutes later, both of the fighters ran out of breath and just stood meters away from each other, each taking a moment to catch their breath. The crowd grew silent, and I looked at Mark "Damn, that was badass!" "Yeah, I agre-" "WHAT IS THAT!" someone shouted while Mark was talking. I look at the fighters and see a yellow aura and particles floating around both of them. The crowd is in amazement, and I take a closer look. I saw 2 lions beside each of the fighters. Wait, a lion? When did it get there? There weren't supposed to be lions around here.

Introduction: Deep within the fabric of society, forces move among the darkest social circles. To the average citizen, the world seems governed by laws, governments, and visible institutions that maintain order. However, behind every major decision, beyond the ministers' councils, in assemblies and courtrooms, darker interests lurk—those that operate in secret, invisible to the public eye. These powerful beings are bound by a web of influence and conspiracies, whose sole purpose is to shape the world's fate according to their own agendas. Throughout history, this network has crossed borders, manipulated economies, and silently altered the course of global events. Truth becomes relative, as control of information is the most potent tool in their hands. For those aware of their existence, escaping their influence is nearly impossible. Lies are disguised as facts, and reality is distorted at the conspirators' convenience, with identities as elusive as their motives. In this secret society, power is not ostentatious but subtle. It seeps into institutions and governments, moving its pieces with lethal precision. For those who dare challenge it, the consequences are severe, for truth is a dangerous currency that few can afford. Silence is bought, dissent is eliminated, and loyalty is measured by an individual's usefulness. However, even the most meticulous plans can falter, and when they do, the ensuing chaos is devastating. Amid this landscape of intrigue, where deception and mistrust reign, the world keeps spinning, oblivious to what truly happens beneath the surface. But occasionally, a crack forms in the carefully constructed reality. A mistake, a miscalculated decision, can set in motion a series of events beyond the control of those who believe they hold the world's reins. It is in these moments that the true nature of hidden power is revealed. Key players are brought into the fray, and those who think they are in control realize that even they are expendable. The truth, buried for so long, begins to surface, bringing danger to those who seek to expose it. In this labyrinth of secrets and betrayals, no one is safe. Neither the powerful nor the innocent can escape the consequences when the balance is broken. And as loyalties crumble, only one question remains: Who are the true masters of destiny?

I whispered, feeling the weight of the future. Karim stepped closer, his hand reaching out to touch mine. "Because my feelings for you are real. Despite the borders and politics, what we have is genuine." I pulled away, tears streaming down my face. "It's not that simple, Karim. You're an officer from an enemy country. We both know this can't work." He looked at me with a mixture of grief and determination. "I'll fight for us, Kristen. As much as I care about the politics, I care about you more." A sad smile tugged at my lips. "You say that now, but what about when you're Prime Minister? Can you promise me we'll still matter then?" Karim took my hand, his grip firm yet gentle. "I promise, I'll do everything in my power to make it work. You're worth it." Despite the turmoil, a part of me wanted to believe him. "You're a smooth talker, you know that?"

Imperially Yours...A blend of romance, royalty and fantasy. History is written by the victors that is why you hear the Elves tell their descendants how they conquered this land and still glorify such an exercise. This land used to belong to us. But then they came: an annexation that brought us all-all three races- together and still pulled us farther apart. And they established a social order. Elves first, Fae, and the humans at the lowest rung of that order. I cannot be disappointed with my parents enough for being who they were-humans-and then birthing me. That was a huge disservice to me. In this world, you were only Elven or nothing. I was nothing by extension. But I never embraced that status. I was destined for more-rebellion, subversion, sedition- but nothing prepared me for catching the attention of the Emperor of the Elven colonies...and I was going to pay for it. I still baffle at how I was increasingly attracted to the tyrant Emperor who was not just known to be condescending and ruthless but cold and unfeeling; unkind and cruel. In this midst of this I was going to change and experience things like I have never before and I will struggle with myself to overcome the darkness that seeks to take me with it. There are three types of Magic: Benign, Grey and Malign. Two kinds were outlawed: Grey and Malign. I possessed Malign magic within me and soon I would find out why it was outlawed...

[MATURE CONTENT] Uncle Heath gave me a look that said that he knows what I'm doing and that he finds me petty and a scheming sly fox. He suggested countless times that I changed my codename from The Countess to Fox or Nine-tailed Fox, because he says it suits me better, or a Serpent, but I don't care. I am literally a Countess after all. He sighed. "Okay, Countess, you won. But if you get yourself killed on this, the same way your parents and their friends later on did, don't come back to haunt me as a ghost. I've been trying to protect you, as I promised I would as your Godfather, but you are a stubborn lil thing who kept insisting on this. You're 27 now, you better not die younger than you mom did." "Wait," Harriet gasped, "the mission you want," "It's the one my parents were working on when they died. Probably the reason why they died and related to their killers," sigh. "It's what kept me working all of those years, the hope on getting my hands on this mission, and uncover what actually happened in July 9th of 1999." I hate number 9, it signifies unluck to me, while 7 is my lucky number. Call me superstitious if you want, I feel like it's an actual thing. "All the documents on their death are here, it's kept secret together with the archived mission they were working in." "Ah, Selene," she said softly, coming closer, full of compassion but not touching me, as her hands are dirty with uncle Heath's cock. Ew, ew. "It's okay, it's been 24 years now," sigh. "Which makes me want to solve it even more," then I turned my eyes to uncle Heath, who was now up, standing at 1.97m, opening his safe that's hidden behind the big painting of a scenery found in Sicily, Italy, which Harriet painted. Picking a thick file in a leather case, he held it under his left arms and locked the safe again, covering it with the painting. I broke into it once, but I was unable to crack the code of the safe. I always knew he hid this file in there, "Be careful, for the love of God, Selene." "I will, I promise!" Narrowing his eyes, he raised his right pinky finger and I cringed in disgust. "Wash your hands first, ew." Rolling his eyes, we quickly went to the bathroom at the back of his office and then came back, hands clean, file still under his arm. "There you go, now, pinky it up, I know better than believe your shallow spoken words by now, I know how scheming you are." Grinning like a wolf who had been caught in sheep's clothing, I raised my pinky finger and intertwined with his. "I promise I'll be careful." Sigh, "I can't believe I'm giving you this. The last two times I gave these damned files to someone, they died. You batter change that statistics to 2:1 instead of 3:0, Selene. Do you understand me?" I grabbed the files, but he kept his hold on it, "I understand," with all my strength, I tried tugging it to me and out of his grip, and after a lil struggle, he let go.
