“Kill him? Have you lost your mind, Astrophel?!” Orion yelled.
“I don’t see you giving any recommendations. What do you reckon I do with a council of overbearing nobles breathing down my neck. I think it’s safer to say he died.” He shrugged in response.
“It couldn’t possibly be the Kai Rylan I know about. Can he even be killed?” Orion whispered the last part, barely audible. He wished in his heart of hearts that that was the case. If it was, he regretted not driving a knife through his chest all the nights he slept peacefully in his home.
“I don’t know.” Astrophel admitted, “I have to find him first.” He turned, walking towards the exit.
“Let us hope that this does not end up as war

Axel stormed the hallway, all the men that were walking by gave way for him. With every stomp, he could not believe that he was humiliated so much. In front of those blood thirsty Vorgath at that.He entered his office and sat down forcefully, “Argh!” He screamed into his palm. He hated that even in Kai’s absence, he could do nothing. He was ruler of Nexarath in Astrophel and Kai’s absence and still no one regarded or respected him.He hated Kai. In his absence, Nexarath’s army, the Kyrexi, were powerless. Unlike the Vorgath, the Kyrexi were an army of regular men. They had no Zhilak, no power. They fought with swords and bows and arrows. That did nothing against their foes. It did nothing against Thane Jackson and his army that grew by the second.Thane used black magic, his men

Ever since running into Kai a week ago, Maverick abandoned his investigation. Despite him being given direct orders to continue his mission, he could not. He simply could not believe that his Lord was alive and in perfect health.Not only was he alive, he had a wife, an expecting wife. He worked a regular, human job. It was him but it was not.That day, Maverick was parked outside Kai’s new job and as Kai closed up for the day, he was taken aback by Maverick who stood, leaning on a lamppost, watching him from across the street. He quickly ensured all the blinds were closed from the outside before approaching Maverick, “you do know that you probably are the only tattooed man in the capital.” Kai started, “how do you think it would look to have you watching me?”Kai was right. One o

“Kai?” She asked, “are you serious?” Sarah stuttered, at a loss for words.“Yes.” Kai said in response, not giving much away. He tried to avoid lying to Sarah as much as possible but in a time like this, it was inevitable. It was either he told a small lie or he revealed to her a world she never knew. Right now, it was safer to lie even though it meant going against their wedding vows. It was simple and short, “no lies.”Kai stared deep into her bright blue eyes. For the first time in months, she had light in them. She had become a ghost of herself since they were thrown out of her family’s mansion and a huge part, if not all of it was his fault, and he felt guilty. He always wanted to make her smile, be her joy, her safe haven but he was fighting demons within. He did not want to bother her and at the

The couple moved uptown with Maverick’s help, “do you think we should tell your family?” Kai asked and he tossed the last bag in the trunk of the moving van and Sarah sighed, “no.” She said in a flat tone.“They abandoned us, abandoned me. My father, my grandfather, no one has come to see me ever since they threw us out. I don’t care what sentiments they have but they have been nothing but cruel to me. I don’t want me, you or my daughter anywhere near them.” She gave him a definite answer and Kai immediately understood.It was the day after he and Maverick broke their poorly coordinated story to her and thankfully, it seemed to Kai like she bought it.“Thank you again, Maverick. Truly.” She held Maverick’s hand which took him by surprise. She was way more handsy than the women in Nexarath. He looked at Kai who gave him a reassuring nod.“You’re welcome…it’s my pleasure.” He stuttered, “no really, you have no idea how much your presence has saved me… You have no idea.” She was tearing

Kai had no idea who the high pitched voice belonged to but one look at Sarah, he understood. She rolled her eyes before turning around, plastering a fake smile on her face.“Hello, Rachel.” Sarah greeted, “Leslie.” She acknowledged the other one.“It is you! Crazy, Leslie, how long has it been?” The one Sarah called Rachel asked, “at least three years. We last saw you at our graduation. Oh… is that the husband?" She paused, stifling a laugh, "the one that caused your family to disown you?” She asked rather loudly.“The rumors were true. I mean, he is a bit cute though but really, Sarah Pierce? You gave up on your chance to be a part of the upper class for something as foolish as love?” Rachel asked.“To think John Ranch would have married her!” Leslie said, “he’s married to Peony now, they are living the dream life truly.” She swooned and Sarah sighed, “It was lovely meeting you two.” She lied, “but we must leave now.” She said, pulling Kai’s arm. He knew not to interfere in any squa

One of the men chuckled, “I’m sorry sir, but who are you?”“We can’t just call our manager, the complex isn’t up for sale.” The other said.“Why are you two being respectful to him? Forget how tough he looks, he’s a pauper! He cannot even afford to be standing here.” Leslie said.“That’s right. Throw them both out!” Rachel chipped in.“I would like to speak to your manager. Or am I not allowed to make inquires? How much would the complex go for? Triple it, I’ll pay in full.” Kai made a bold statement and Leslie and Rachel bursted out laughing.“You didn’t tell us that your husband did stand up comedy, Sarah! You know what, call the manager. Tell him indeed someone wants to buy the complex. I would love to watch you two make an absolute fool of yourselves.”“Oh, yes! I have time today.” Leslie gleamed in agreement.“Al…right, ma’am.” One of the men said and hurried away. Sarah looked up at Kai with worry in her eyes. Kai never talked big. It was all unnecessary drama for her and her fee

“What?!” Rachel and Leslie were in disbelief. They both reached out for Ronald’s phone and they too saw the alert. The phone fell from Leslie’s hand and she laughed nervously.“Sarah, why didn’t you tell us your darling husband here had such a big bank?” She kissed to an equally confused Sarah.Rachel chipped in, closing in the distance between them, “yeah! Anyway let us pay no mind to this situation. It got out of hand and things got way too serious! Right, Leslie?”“Totally. What do you say, Sarah? Friends again?”She ignored them for there was something else on her mind.Sarah looked at her husband who was now leaning against the wall, arms crossed over his chest. If she did not know him, she would say that he looked nothing like her husband. There was an aura about him that was simply intimidating. No, not simply, terrifyingly intimidating.Kai’s voice echoed through the now silent office, “Ronald was it? How am I going to get my documents of ownership with you on your knees? Stan

John looked at the man that towered over everyone as well as the woman who sat behind Ronald’s desk. Nevermind that, he was only there on orders.Ronald sighed before taking the files from John, the weight pulling him down instantly so much so that a giggle escaped from Sarah. Leslie and Rachel turned to look at her and she cleared her throat, straightening her back.“Stand up.” Kai ordered. Ronald tried to but the weight of the files were too much for him, “stand up.” Kai said again. This time, Ronald was in a nervous sweat. Not only was he so weak that he could not carry a couple of files, he was struggling on his knees in the presence of a man he bullied for so long, John.“You may leave, John.” Kai said to the clearly confused man and he nodded before taking his leave. Kai squatted down in front of Ronald who was as red as a tomato. Kai thought that he had taunted him enough to send a message. He picked up the files that he was struggling with with one hand and placed them on the
