Ivan told me, "They are ready for you, sir," and I just nodded.Are you okay?”He shook his head and glared at me inquisitively.I'll be alright.Let's get this out of the way.Ivan led me to the throne room as I slung my holster around my waist.I was honored by the vampire king as the whole high court gathered around me.With my posture straight, my head held high, and my hands gently clasped behind my back, I knelt before him.As Dragos talked about my greatest accomplishments, which made me a loyal and honorable warrior, everyone looked at me with such pride.“Valerian has successfully destroyed the witch covens that hid the pieces of the Emerald Tablet, and now I can say with pride that he has killed the most powerful High Witch Priestess and gathered information about where the final piece is!Our kingdom will soon be the most powerful among vampire kingdoms, and soon, vampires will rule the world!Before he used his blade to tap each of my shoulders, Dragos declared to the viewers.That'

He was now grunting and moaning loudly.He had completely lost track of the fact that I was there, as evidenced by his random breaths and intense stimulation."Your king,"I asked with respect, "What do you want?"He kept pushing hard into Ysanne's mouth despite his anger at the interruption."My King, we have recovered the last piece of the Emerald Tablets.It was located in a monastery in Greece that we now control.Additionally, we have eliminated every witch from that coven.Given what Ysanne's mouth was doing to Dragos' cock and his joy at hearing my news, Dragos' head dropped back.When he looked back at me, his cheeks flushed, and he grinned from ear to ear.Valerian: "You have done well.You have made me very happy because you are my most trusted soldier.“Did you hear that Witch?” he asked as he yanked Ysanne off of his cock and grabbed her by the neck.I have all of the Emerald Tablets, and you will soon carry out your most significant task for me.He then threw her onto his bed and

She wanted to know, "What do you want?""I'm here to negotiate."She rubbed her eyes.Really, oh?What do they mean?”"You will give up your first child to me if I help you escape."She gave me a bewildered glare.Why would I give you my child?"Reward for my kindness"She awkwardly fidgeted with her fingernails, and I shrugged.As she considered my proposal, she sat in mocking silence.I begged her to say yes on the inside.We only had a short amount of time, so I needed her response right away.As she massaged her forehead with her fingers, she took a painful breath."You've got a deal."I accepted her handshake and she extended it to mine.After removing the chains from her wrists, I proceeded to the stone and brick wall with the barred window that led outside.A small hole was punched into the wall by me."The extent of my kindness is this."She laughed.You must be having fun.That gap is too small for me!”"Then, I suppose you ought to begin digging,"I left the dungeon with a malicious grin

"The king believes that he picked up a magic trail from Ysanne.He wanted me to go investigate because he believes she may have regained her powers.As I put the car in drive and left the kingdom, I said robotically."You aren't telling me anything else."Ivan raised an eyebrow and leaned back against the passenger door."No, that is all.I promise."I said that proclamation like a third grader who got busted with his hand in the treat container however figured he could lie right in the clear.“Alright.For the time being, I'll act like I believe you.He laughed as he shook his head in dismay.As I channeled the tinge of magic, we drove the remainder of the way in silence.Although the pulsation became increasingly louder and clearer, I was aware that we were getting close. I had no idea where we were going.It seemed as though it wanted me to join it.I had never felt this way before with a trace.It captured my imagination.I wanted to keep it forever in my possession.My ears were muffled by th

As soon as I touched her birthmark once more, it sparked lightly as I removed my finger from her mouth with care.Ivan gave me a quick glance, as if he were pondering what he had just seen.I gave him a smile.I had already decided what I was going to do.I began making circular rubbing motions on Catelyn's birthmark and gradually increased the width of my circles.I took a deep breath after closing my eyes.As I immersed myself in our bond, I felt the warmth well up through my chest.Ivan took a few steps back from me.He didn't know what to say or do.When the pace of the energy I was harnessing reached a sufficient level, I completely ignored him and chanted a spell I remembered: "I raised both hands over Catelyn."Catelyn will, without a doubt, remain safe thanks to layers of love like onion skin, layers of safety for those within, and layers that keep harm out.The room began to vibrate with electricity.Ivan took a few more steps back behind me as Baby Catelyn widened her curious eyes.As I

make sure Catelyn was still playing safely in the garden, I looked through the trees.I only caught a glimpse of her back as her mother shamelessly called her into the cottage.My time with her was ruined by those foolish rebels.I moved the memory to a different memory that I wanted to show Catelyn.In order for her to comprehend what I had done for her throughout her entire life, there were so many situations to demonstrate to her.I wanted to ensure that the best scenes that demonstrated my intentions were shown to her.I made the decision to shift the focus of the memory to one of the occasions when her mother forgot to pick her up from school.My heart broke for her; she was about nine years old.I often considered murdering Ysanne and stealing Catelyn away in response to her mother's appalling neglect, but I always resisted.Killing her mother was not a good first step toward my goal of not making Catelyn afraid of me.As Catelyn sat on the concrete slab in front of the school, I observ

“Doing better?"Sincerely, I replied, "Yes, thank you."Before launching into an answer to my questions, he gave a calm nod:I realized that in order to keep a closer eye on you, I needed to spend more time with other people as you got older.People are consumed by the idea of being wealthy, and the wealthiest individuals generally have complete freedom of movement.I decided that it was time to start my own business in the human realm because I was getting tired of coming to see you at night or disguised."That's why you started the Restoration company group?"He nodded and said, "Yes, being close to you was the most important reason, but I had also developed a genuine curiosity about how people think and work."I set out to change the bad aspects of the health sector in your community with Restoration.For instance, in some schools and recreational activities, I had discovered a bias against sicker children.A child who has had his or her arms amputated shouldn't have to watch as his or he
