After Ariella and Nell had their food, they made their way to the Colosseum and joined the tour. The guide was a peppy young girl with an annoying voice. "Ciao everyone! My name is Bianca and I will be your tour guide for this evening! While we go on this adventure together, I ask that you save your questions until the end of the tour. And please, no flash photography. Is everyone ready? Great! Now if you would follow me" She starts to lead the group before anyone could say anything.

"Well, isn't she..." Nell says, disgusted and struggling to find the right word, "A girl."

"Come one," Ariella says as she takes his arm, "Let's just enjoy the tour."

"Now this Colosseum is what is called an elliptical amphitheatre. It is the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built, and is still the largest standing amphitheatre in the world, despite its age.

    Over the next three weeks, Ariella and Nell had traveled through more then half of Italy. Very little accured while these two moved from city to city, aside from people trying to flirt with them. They had gotten souvenirs from nearly every museum they visited. Every day, Nell had to reign in his desire anytime Ariella got dressed for the day. They were currently in the hilltop city of Ragusa, in southern Italy. Ariella was looking out of the balcony that overlooked the city, wearing an oversized sweater that barely fell below her cheeks. The sun was setting on the horrizon, showing the various shops that were turning their lights on as the streets became darker, when Nell came out and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Are you enjoying the view?" He nuzzles into her neck and pulls her closer to him. "Not as much as you enjoyed our day in. I'm still sore." "I can't help it if you always look delicious. Even now with that sweater dress on, I'm getting excited." He grinds into her ass

    A young Ariella tossed and turned as a nightmare tormented her. Whimpers and cries of fear would slip past her lips as visions of her parents fighting off a faceless foe crossed her minds eye. Their companions layed behind her parents lifelessly still, tears stained her mother's cheeks as rage filled her eyes and let her emotions blind her judgement. Her father was no better as he fought along side his mate. Before anything else could happen she was shaken awake by her mother, "Ari! Wake up!" Ariella gasped for breath, her heart racing in her chest, Kia was frantic as well as they snuggled into one of their parent for comfort, "Mater?" she says in Latin as she finally focuses on the woman in front of her. Her mother looked like she could be her older sister. They had the same freckles and piercing hazel eyes. Her hair had more of a red undertone then being full on red like Ariella. She was as tall as Ariella if not slightly shorter. "Where's pater? What just happened to me?" "Pater

    “Wait wait, hold on,” Nell says stepping back and beginning to pace, “ you can’t mean to say your ‘pregnant’, can you?” “What else could it mean?” Ariella says as she flops on the couch, “I have a parasite?” “I just can’t wrap my head around it,” he runs his hands through his hair, “we only started having sex a month ago and we-“ “Did you use any form of protection” she cut him off. “You did learn how babies are made right?” “Of course I…” he paused when he realizes, “didn’t.” He turns his attention back to her, “but I was under the impression that women didn’t know until they’re almost two months along.” “In normal circumstances, but not when your companion is a dragon that lays eggs.” She retorts. “But usually they lay an egg a little after conception,” she looks at Kia who was wrapped around their egg, “but judging by the size of the egg, they were holding on until they were here.” “How DO you know any of this when-“ “You better choose your next words carefully.” She glared a

    For centuries, the world has been tormented with wars and conflict. Countless lives had been lost due to the greed and desire of their leaders for the supposed benefit of the nation. But few leaders went with their citizens to the battlefield instead of choosing to stay in the comfort of the fortresses and dragged on war for profit. On and on the conflict would spread and grow and fester like a gapping wound. Among the chaos the world continuously faced, their lived a society, the Cowasian, that lived separate from the rest but still interacting with others. This society had technology more advanced then any other nations. They feared the world would tear itself apart if it ever got it’s hands on even a small piece of their weapons, so they behaved like the rest of the world when they interacted with others. This society was the only ones who lived harmoniously with mythical creatures such as dragons and magical beings like wizards. But our story starts in the twenty-first century an

    In another part of the mansion, a young man named, Nell Carter, was entertaining his guests as others were admiring some of the inventions he created. He was a handsome man with piercing blue eyes and hair a dark brown. He could be called the male version of Snow White with how white his skin is. He stood tall at 6'8. He easily looked over the heads of nearly everyone in the room. "Oh, your home is just exquisite, Mr. Carter," an overly adorned woman says. "You must tell me the name of your decorator." Nell had heard such comments too many times just that evening alone that responding was starting to become tedious. "I'll have to see if they're available for more clients at the moment." He says in a refined british accent. "Are there any more genius inventions you plan to release, Mr. Carter?" The woman's husband says. "I plan to take a break and relax after tonight," Nell responds, "I worked on these projects for the better part of a year." "A well deserved rest, I'm sure," anoth

    Ariella had to think fast. She had to get the cannon back to Base but she knew that if the outside world learned of their society, it could meant the end of humanity. There was a screech in the distance and she saw Kia and Azar making their way to her. Azar landed and was scurrying around franticly wanting to save Ambrose. "I know azar," Ariella says, petting his snout to calm him down. "We're going to get him back." After thinking it over for ten minutes she called into base, "We have successfully retrieved the cannon," "Very good," said a voice from base, "Now you and agent Telamon must bring it back as soon as you can." "That's just it," Ariella says, "Telamon has been captured." There was a moments pause, "You must bring the weapon back here. We will send a group to retrieve Telamon." "That is going to take too long," She says, starting to get frustrated, "He needs to be rescued now." "Agent Scarlet," the voice says, "Calm down. Going in emotional like this will get you bo

    Ariella had to think fast if she was going to de-escalate the situation. "What makes you think the world doesn't care?" "You are the woman from the party. I know for certain from the sound of your voice." Nell says mater of factly. "You are really stuck on that, aren't you?" Ariella says, "Since you seem to be so sure," she takes off her mask and some of the guards stop and openly stare at her because they didn't expect her to look so beautiful. "Now answer my question." Nell smiles, "That's more like it. Now, to answer your question; I've known since I was young that no one cared for me. You remember I told you about the nuns that raised me, correct? Even then they only did the bare minimum and only fed and clothed me. Sometimes they would starve me if I misbehaved even just a little bit. No one encouraged me to do well in life so everything I did wasn't to improve this world, it was to make it so dependant on technology that it would be easy to destroy." Ariella was shocked but s

    Over the night, Ariella helped Nell with his work. They finished around midnight and she placed the last page down. She stretches her arms above her head, “Finally. I think I need to train to loosen up my muscles.” “Sound’s like a pleasant idea,” Nell says, rolling his neck, “there’s a gym the guards use. I’ll lead the way,” he gets up from his seat and Ariella follows him out of the room. They make they’re way down the the basement and come to a set of double doors. The doors open and there was every type of workout machine there was. There was even a wrestling ring in the middle of the large room. Two guards were currently in the ring and others were scattered around the room keeping their shape. Ariella makes her way to the ring, “I’m next.” She says with confidence. Everyone around her stops what they were doing to look at her. Thunderous laughter broke out, except for those who survived her attack the night before, who were taking several steps away from her, as she just stoo

    Ariella had made her way through the streets when she felt like she had calmed down enough. She had walked along the Tiber river and watched the reflection of the rising sun on the water. She found a bench where she took a seat, closed her eyes, and took in a deep breath. Her mind was starting to clear when, "What's a beautiful woman like you doing out this early in the morning?" She opens her eyes to look at who was speaking. She was met with an average looking, Italian man wearing what looked like expensive brand name clothes and watch. The man looked like he was desprately trying to show he's rich. "Minding my own business." She responds before turning her attention back to the water. The man doesn't take the hint and sits next to her, she had to repress her gag reflex when the god awful stench of his cologne hit her nose, "You seem to be upset by something. I'm all ears." "Good for you," She moves away from him, "I'm still not talking." He chuckles and moves closer to her, "Sti

    “This is agent Larson reporting in,” a voice says in Cowasian. It comes over a sound system with slight static.“This is Base, receiving.” Another voice responds in the same language.“I just encountered an agent that was lost on the Carter assignment.”“Agent Scarlet? Was she on her own?”At the mention of Scarlet, the person’s attention perched up and listened closer to the conversation. “She was with Nell Carter.”“Did it seem like he had any kind of weapon?” The voice asked concerned.“No. It appeared they were just on a date.” This infuriated the person listening in.“As long as he is unarmed, we shouldn’t have to keep an eye on them. Where did you-“ A knock on the door draws their attention away from the conversation.“Hey you’ve been in there for an hour!” A raspy voice says in English, “other people need to use the restroom!”The equipment that was used collapsed into a simple earbud that he placed in his pocket and stepped out of the bathroom. Ambrose looks down at the man as

    The next day, Ariella and Nell spent the day walking around Rome and enjoy the sites and each others company. They made wishes in the Trevi Fountain, where she spent a good two hours admiring the immense detail that went into it. They stopped at a little cafe where they sampled their special coffee blend. He wanted to buy some grounds to take home but was shut down after he was reminded that they'd have to carry it with them. After that they visited the Vatican museum and saw the wonderful Sistine Chapel. Nell marveled at the well preserved condition it was in and so did Ariella.Not far from there, they stopped for lunch and were enjoying a delicious meal when she sees a suspicious figure lurking on the corner facing them. She concetrates harder and realizes that it was a Cowasian agent. She quickly turns away before they could notice her and acts like nothing was wrong."Is something the matter?" Nell says, looking up from his Pasta e Fagioli."It's nothing," She says with a smile an

    Back in England, the Carter manor had smoke billowing out of one window and screams could be heard from within. The guards tried their best to hold back the assailant but failed as they were being attacked by strange weapons that seemed to be coming from nowhere and everywhere at the same time. A single man calmly walked the corridors as anyone who faced him would collapse, bleeding from nearly every pore and gashing wounds. He would draw strange markings on flat surfaces and bizarre weapons would from the various from unrelated materials. Ambrose was searching every room but could only find maids and nothing else. With every empty room that greeted him, the angier he got. The number of bodies left in his wake was becoming great but he only cared that he found Ariella. He finds a gaurd that was still breathing and grabs him by the collar, "Where are your master and Ariella?" "They're not here?" the guard coughs out, "Must be in some closet getting their freak on-!"

    The next day, Nell and Ariella grab their bags and make their way to his private jet. The hostest takes their bags and stows them away while they sit in corresponding seats. The pilot starts the engine and, when the got clearance, started off the runway. Once they were at cruising altitude, Ariella takes out the kindle she had gotten from Nell and packed and propped her feet up on his lap. He had his phone out and was playing a game, his hand on her leg and gently drawing circles with his finger. She had finished her book when they were informed that they would be landing soon. She turns to him, "Are you ready for this?" "Maybe not as ready as you. You've been bouncing with excitement since you woke up." A few moments later, they had landed on an airstrip. He steps out and helps her off the steps. "Now, what's first on your schedule?" Over the course of the last few days, Ariella had put together an itinerary of things they could do in each city, what times they would go on a tour,
