With a final surge of energy, Arome closed the distance between them, his steps echoing with purpose and wrath. Alonso's breaths grew ragged, his body betraying the exhaustion and injuries he had sustained. Just as Alonso reached for the door to the foyer, Arome lunged forward, his blade slicing through the air with lethal precision. The steel met flesh with a sickening crunch, and Alonso's scream was cut short as the sword pierced his heart. The summoner collapsed to the ground, his lifeblood pooling around him, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. Arome stood over him, chest heaving, the adrenaline still coursing through his veins as he gazed upon the fallen adversary. The battle was over, but the war within Arome's soul had only just begun. He knew that the answers he sought—the truth about his mother, his powers—lay somewhere beyond this fight, in the shadows of the past and the light of the future.

Alonso's death was surprisingly uneventful, considering the trouble he caused.

    It took a few seconds for what Arome had said to Luna to sink in. Even Master Blight Herat was confused, his eyes inexplicably drawn to the massive halo of energy around Arome. The mane of his lion helm fluttered in he air behind him, stretched out for meters into the air to look like a horrifying specter of death. His helmet was already without power, but the blackness in its visor made Arome seemed even more dangerous than he already was. The sight of this man, looking every bit like the animal he embodied, made Blight Heart hesitate. It was as if he was standing face to face with a real apex predator, a true lion. Light and energy coalesced into the shape of snarling white lion with blue highlights, flecks of it attached to the Lion’s illusory mane. Luna waved her hands as a massive shard of glass appeared in front of Arome. He pulled back, Master Blight-Heart’s eyes widening slowly as the wall behind him was smashed through, Marisa and the mistress tumbling out into the foyer, b

    No one looked more confused than Mistress Blight-Soul herself, it was as if she had been handed a dangerous wild animal and she had absolutely no idea what to do with it. Even as she let out small sounds of shock and protest, but no matter what she did, she could not pull away from Luna.“You said it yourself Nyssa, I could carry a child to term, but I could never conceive. Luna, Astra, Theo and Theodora…all of them. They’re your children too. Your womb gave them life, it was just my body’s job to carry them for you. If you check, their DNA matches yours than they do mine. So you would have been sacrificing your own daughter to demons, and trying to corrupt your own son. I know I have done many things wrong, and hurt you…but you’re going to have to live with that for the rest of your life.”As Marisa spoke, there was an increasing look of horror on Mistress Blight-Soul’s face. Arome did not think it was wise for them to pile the woman with so many emotional shocks, especially not when

    Rowan Gunsoul placed his fingers on Arome’s neck, releasing a breath of relief when he realized his new employer was still alive. He raised his head to look at the carnage that had been wrought by the Blights. There has never been an attack of this scale from those two, and of the attacks they have carried out in the past, none of them had failed. There was a lot to be said by how much could change just because of one mitigating factor, and in this case that factor was Arome. But this was far from over, Rowan knew the Mistress enough to know that even with her daughter accepting her, and knowledge that the children she felt her sister stole from her, were still hers, would not be enough to placate her from evil. Now she just has another obsession to plan for.But considering how thoroughly she was dealt with here, he doubted anyone would be hearing from her anytime soon. The main problem he has though, would have to be with the attention that Arome has drawn from hell. Rowan had been

    Somewhere in The Grand States of Merica Bayo stepped into his secret penthouse suite with an annoyed look on his face. The Blights attacking Falcon-Eagle industries right under the nose of the UNCH was nothing short of a slap on the face. Even with the secret dealings that Bayo has been trying to uncover, he never expected the Blights to go this far and bite the hands that feed them. If it wasn’t for the fact that Luna and somehow his useless cousin had gotten involved, he would have been extremely happy about the wave of negative reviews and views coming the way of the UNCH. The Secretary was buried up to his neck with dealing with the media and the discontent of the public. Many, people had died. The projected number of casualties was close to 250 civilians, both powered and unpowered that had been working at the company.Bayo had greater ambitions than just being king of the Idu Kingdom. That was just the position of small king, in small part of the world that has been forgotten.

    SOMEWHERE ON THE NUBIAN CONTINENTTHE ANCIENT KINGDOM OF IDUANCESTRAL TEMPLEThe eerie sounds of chanting could be heard coming out of an ancient Ziggurat like building. The exterior of the temple was built from clay, being one of the only few structures within the kingdom that still carried pieces of its original structure. In this case, the ancestral temple has never been renovated before, it was empowered by extremely powerful magic that has made it endure not just the ravages of nature, but the ravages of time also. It has been home to hundreds of high priest and priestess, and they held significant power within the border of the Idu Kingdom.High above, at the very top of the ziggurat, which could also be called a pyramid.

    Rowan closed the door to the private hospital room with a nervous look in his face. In all four corners of the room, two men and women stood vigilant, their chocolate brown skin awash with vibrant white tribal marks and tattoos. They were dressed impeccably too, in sleek suits and carrying fully automatic pulse rifles. The Idu Kingdom was no joke, and trying to get past these people when they had arrived had been a problem. But he was now similar to them, a bodyguard to Prince Arome Idu. Without a doubt he had an obligation to be here, and it had been very hard to convince them of that fact. It was only until Luna slammed on of them through the hospital’s walls and into the next ward that they had been less imposing than normal. They were all acting as if they had been the ones responsible for Arome’s current state, but considering the fact that video clips of what Arome had experienced were now circulating the internet, it was hard for them not to see it that way. Rowan found the en

    After introductions were made, it was not too long until a doctor was allowed to come in and see Arome. Even more so when that doctor also came along with the Temple guards. Rowan had to admit that the Idu Kingdom’s way of doing things could be a little overbearing, but then again even if they have lost a significant amount of their prestige and wow factor, these people were still one of the most influential in the world. Their dwindling natural resources has made it so that the only thing they could ever truly offer to the world, were Lion themed superheroes every thirty years. And sure Tue Star Lion has been a staple and a force the world could rely on in times of crisis, but in a world where there were new heroes every generation, the same one returning every thirty years has got to be boring. But that was not the bone of contention right now, Arome was being given a comprehensive look over by his nation’s doctor, the fact that they would not trust anyone else to look after Arome s

    If looks could kill, the tablet in his hands would have died ten times over. Arome was not happy about this, but he was familiar enough with the media to know that once enough time pass, they will move on to the next most interesting thing. But still, some backlash were not required, for a prince nor every publicity is a good publicity, especially one such as himself. He knew enough that once you’re in the limelight there would be those who go snooping and digging around to find information about you, after all, Marisa had been able to get her hands on his file from the UNCH. That one shows that there were people with the resources and means to expose his secrets, and many of them, Arome would rather leave buried as that would make it harder for him to be a manager and even manage another superhero. He shifted his attention back to the tablet in front of him.“folks! A banished prince! This is like some sort of fairy tale. Our newest hero is actually the direct heir of the current kin

    “Is this it? This is where we’re going to be staying while here? It’s ugly.” Luna voice rang out from ahead of Arome, but he paid her no need as he moved around the abandoned club. For the duration of the time that they’ll be in San-Franmikyo, this place would serve as their base of operations. Arome was lucky he found the place, it had extra rooms a dance floor that Arome would transform into a lavish living room in the coming days.There were extra rooms that had probably seen the wrong sort of use in the past. But after cleaning up a bit they’re shouldn’t be a problem from the building to host all five of them. Amina and her brother Amina were always intended to be Arome’s personal life guards from the moment he had been born.

  • The First Mission

    While construction was still ongoing on their base, Arome decided he needed to get in on the action. He was getting tired of waiting around and playing politics. As it was he had already sent Aunty Kemi back home, she was the head of the temple guards and had duties she needed to handle. Plus, she could not refute an order from his father, so she left with the crown prince.Arome gritted his teeth. His father being the crown prince was a title that was just there for show. He shook his head, there was no need to dwell on anything other than what was in front of him, and that was choosing the first mission that their team would have to deal with.Arome sat at his cluttered desk, a holographic catalog shimmering in front of him. The digital pages flipped silently, revealing detailed profiles of the world's most notorious villains. Each entry was accompanied by high-resolution images, crime statistics, and a dossier of their known powers and abilities.He scrolled past images of menacing

    Somewhere In San-FranmikyoGrand States of Merica.Domingo Yen was many things, but a supervillain was not one of them. Those freakshows in their edgy costumes and self-righteousness, existed to make life miserable for everyone. They took away valuable artistic materials, these bastards done know they kill too much with their fights. They did not leave enough skin and concrete for his artful carvings to come to life.“Ahhh, I hate supervillains so much. They ruin all my materials.”“If you’re not a supervillain then what are you, asshole! a serial killer?”Domingo Yen turned onto the secluded street near the bay. He could hear the sound and spray of the sea, a powerful natural force that moved through everything. This inspired him greatly.He was dressed in his samurai kimono, his chest bare to the world and crisscrossed with garish scars that could haunt the dreams of the most resilient warrior. The oni mask on his face hung crooked to one side, exposing enough of his face and single

  • The Offer II

    Arome gave an annoyed look to the glass that had just poisoned him, the secretary even continued to drink leisurely from his, acting unbothered. But nevertheless, everything this man just said has him more than a little worried. A virus that only this ability can heal, he found it hard to believe. There was another angle at play here, and regardless of what threats or offers this man threw his way, Arome would never willingly throw himself into dying over and over again, not unless he had no other choice.“I’m afraid I can’t help your Mr. secretary. Since you’ve never experienced it before, and seeing how hard you are trying to avoid it, dying is not fun. And only a fool will completely subject himself to death repeatedly. You don’t have nearly enough money in your bank account to make me do this. In case you’ve forgotten, I am still a prince. Our kingdom might not be worth much out in the wider world and cosmos, but we are still reasonably self-sufficient. I have no need for money, s

  • The Offer

    Arome came back alive, choking on his own blood. He quickly turned to the side where he disgorged the entire contents of his stomach, dry heaving and struggling to breathe with each cow clench of his stomach. His suit was bloodied and smelled rather foul, whatever it was this virus was, it seemed like it was specially designed for supers.“I have to say that I am surprised, I did not expect you to survive that. And if you can survive that, it seems it would take me blasting you to atoms in a nuclear chamber before I can end you for good. There’s no guarantee if I chuck you into the sun you will survive, that might even strengthen you, the sun is a star in the end.”Arome gave him the middle finger, as he got back up to his feet and stumbled towards the door, he needed to get the hell out of here before he would do something he’d regret.”“And where are you going?” The secretary asked, looking amused as Arome stumbled away from him.“Isn’t it obvious, I'm getting away from your psychot

  • The Teacher

    Unfortunately, Arome could not escape the event as quickly as he had wanted to, not before he had a one-on-one meeting with the secretary of the UNCH. It was how Arome found himself following the Secretary’s secretary down an empty hallway before coming before a set of massive double doors. The secretary moved to the side and pointed at the door. It seems from here on out Arome would have to go by himself.Arome took a deep breath and pushed the doors open, stepping into a room that was a stark contrast to the dimly lit hallway. The secretary's office was a masterpiece of luxury and grandeur, a testament to the power and influence that the position held.The room was bathed in a warm, golden light that seemed to emanate from the crystal chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling, their prisms casting a delicate dance of light upon the intricately patterned marble floor. The walls were adorned with rich, dark wood paneling, each segment carved with meticulous detail, telling stories of

  • The Summon II

    “By order of his majesty you are not return home and take on an official post.”Arome’s eyes took on a hard edge on that, he might have a lot of guilt towards his parents, but there was no love lost between him and his grandfather. Some of the worst things he has ever had to do, had come from his orders. His grandfather was a different kind of monster that no one in the whole kingdom could match up to. He was ready and willing to use anyone and anything to get what he wanted.“I’m afraid I will have to decline father. As you can see, I have commitments and an agency to run. Idu does not need me to take on any posts. Besides any post that I can take up has already been filled, the kingdom already has a crown prince in the process of carrying out his ten years of service. And I am not coming back so that I can play second fiddle to him and his bastard father1!”Arome’s father hissed in annoyance as he slammed his hands on the table in front of him, the sound so loud that Astra jumped in

  • The Summon I

    Arome was not stupid, he had gone completely off the script that had been given to him by the UNCH. But he didn’t care either way, this was his way of showing them that he was playing along, but also a reminder that they did not own him, not anymore at least. And what was the worst they could do to him, kill him? The last people that had thought killing Arome would solve their problems, had ended up finding out the hard way that he was not so easily gotten rid of. But still he had been able to make an impact, the tabloids would have a field day with the announcement and the speech. Those who were smart enough would have noticed the careful placed barbs in his words, his subtle way of throwing shade at the UNCH. For sure they would notice it, and he knew there would be a reckoning coming from them. The only way to do so would be to get so much stronger they would not be able to do anything to him. But they won’t make any moves early on, of course he was sure they would try and sabotag

  • The Event III

    Propaganda, politics, games the elite play with the lives of the common man. Arome was now firmly stepping into that world. He was no longer a teenager with bristling anger against the world. A boy who could only see everything that had happened to him as unfair as he asked repeatedly why his grandfather did not love him. A boy who grew up seeing his father take care of their people wholeheartedly, teaching lessons of kindness, responsibility and the upholding of traditions in order to honor your ancestors.But most importantly, living your life the right way so that the person you see in the mirror, was someone you could be proud of. Arome’s entire life has been one bad choice after the other. The military might have been his grandfather’s orders, a punishment for a Wayward prince absent the family bloodline, but he had chosen to stay there. His banishment had been from his grandfather’s court, not the kingdom, but his own anger and stubbornness drove him into a life that filled with
