Of course with all that had transpired at the boutique, the prime suspect was the Phoenix, given that Gabriel the Phoenix leader was earlier seen at the boutique before the shooting out occurred. Mason could still remember vividly all that had happened, he had never been so close to death, barely a few days of knowing about his family and himself, he was almost murdered by a man posed as a beggar, who wouldn't be frightened by this. At this point, Mason would agree that his life was indeed in danger, he could now understand the reason why the council insisted that he must not move alone without guards around him. If not for Nicholas who had been quick enough to use himself as a human shield, Mason didn't want to think of what would have happened. Although the bullet had hit Nicholas' shoulder region, it was initially directed to Mason's heart.At a large round table, three people could be seen sitting on the sides of this table. A large man who seemed like someone who could swall
Seeing the diminishing smile on Claire's face was kind of scaring Mason, he had thought about it and he had concluded that Claire was the best person to ask such a question. Although he was closer to old Greg and maybe it might have been easier to ask him, Claire had been the only one open enough to tell him about his past and everything he had come to know about the great seven.As he watched the smile on Claire's face turn into a frown, it was immediately washed off and the usual smile plastered on her face. " Who told you about the initiation? " Claire said gently.Mason knew there was no need to lie , so he decided it would be best to tell the truth. " I over heard the council talking about it the other day" " I see, well there is nothing wrong with you knowing about the initiation, we didn't tell you about it because we thought it wasn't time yet. But I guess since you have heard about it, it's best I tell you, " Claire said, sipping from the glass of wine in her hand. Mason
The last person Mason expected to see at an event like this was the exact person standing in front of him, Mason was beginning to think that maybe it was all in his imagination or maybe the wine was taking effect. But then he knew all these were false, Lalisa was standing right before him in flesh and blood, and she was just as shocked as Mason was or even more. Her mouth had been open since she laid eyes on Mason who looked totally different from the Mason she once knew. It was until Mason spoke that she finally realized that she needed to close her mouth. " You should close your mouth before a fly goes into it, " Mason said, trying to hide his own shock. " Mason, is this really you? " Lalisa asked, still finding it hard to believe he was really the one in front of her. He was totally different, a fine clean well ironed black suit was on his body,a nice pair of black shoes, and his hair was well combed backwards with the right amount of hair lotion.She could perceive the scent
Earlier after Nicholas left to purchase the food, Mason had felt like he wanted to use the toilet, he was looking to ease himself and he couldn't just hold it any longer. Of course he could have just gone to the eatery to meet Nicholas, surely they would have toilets in there, but Mason wasn't really used to this flashy lifestyle yet, he would look for a lonely quiet place to ease himself instead. Getting out of the vehicle, Mason rolled the tinted glass up, and as he stood beside the car he decided to wait a little to see if Nicholas would come out. After waiting for About 2 mins and it didn't look like Nicholas would be coming out anytime soon, Mason gently began to walk down the street. The street was a little scanty with a few people outside so he thought it wasn't that bad. No one would really be able to recognize him anyway, at least that was what he thought. As he continued walking, his eyes caught an alley, it was a little darker in there and Mason thought it was the perf
During the ride home, Nicholas, who was busy explaining how terrified he was when he found out that Mason was no longer in the vehicle earlier, noticed that Mason was lost in his own thoughts, smiling to himself and staring out the side window, clearly not paying any attention to whatever Nicholas was blabbing about. As the vehicle cruised through the busy street, Mason's mind was full, her blue eyes, silver hair, red rosey full lips was all that occupied his mind. To Mason, she was practically the most beautiful girl he had ever seen,she was not just beautiful, she had come to his rescue, prying him away from the hands of those predators. Mason didn't want to even think about what would have happened if she hadn't showed up. Everything about her was perfect, her voice, her slim petite figure, her well toned skin, everything was just in place.The young master didn't really know the way he was feeling right now, the last time he felt this way was when he first met Lalisa, his ex-gi
Keeping items of the old for future references was always a very good choice for any person or organization to follow , as it will surely come in handy at any point in time. If all these weren't stored right here at the basement which was now referred to as the stone cave, maybe Mason and others before him wouldn't even know the things they knew right now. Standing in front of the huge framed picture on the wall, Mason could see the picture of his ancestor, Stark himself,the very first person who had actually created the Starks. Noticing that Claire had now moved on to the next picture which was positioned far after a few more pictures, Mason's eyes darted as he gently took a few steps forward and was now standing right beside Claire. Now he could clearly see the picture she was staring at, it was a picture of a lady who seemed to be in her early 40s, she had a slight smile on her face and a head full with silver hairs which was braided in pairs as they ran down her back with a f
The Stark was more like a brotherhood, although it doesn't accommodate evil, it has been a brotherhood few years after lord stark himself, the original creator of the Starks created the Stark company in his name.He had initially created the company for just his direct bloodline which consisted of his family, kids and their generations to come. But then there was no way it would grow if it was only meant to be managed by only his direct bloodlines, so he had created a brotherhood, which grew to be more like the pillars of the Starks. This brotherhood was more like a clan, which consists of anyone who was found trustworthy, and dedicated to serving the Starks till their last breath. But it was actually more of those having the blood of Lord Stark in their veins. This brotherhood has been the main power of the Starks , they have held the Starks and have successfully taken the Starks to the top making it one of the most powerful companies in the world. Out of the seven great companie
The initiation trials were something that was done to those eligible for the crown and the leadership of the Starks. These trials were done to test or rather to build the participant in question, it tests their durability, how long they would survive in there. Although one could die in there, it was less likely to be the case, as no one in the history of the Starks had died while carrying out the initiation trials. There was a belief that says, if one was a true bloodline of Lord Stark, the founder of the Starks, then they won't die inside the trial space no matter how long they seem to stay in there. But if a person who was not a direct or true bloodline of lord Stark enters the trial space, then they would surely die. No one really knows how true this was as it had never been tested before. The initiation trials were like a game, divided into stages, with each stage designed for a different purpose, and somehow it gets tougher by each stage. As Mason stood on the step, hand still
Now that she have successfully left the house, lalisa couldn't be more happier, in her mind she knew she needed to do this quick and fast, which was why as she stepped on the pedal, she had zoomed off with a high speed, cruising through the streets until she had finally pulled up at the front of a place which she once called home, a place which held a lot of memories. " Well let's see what we got here" lalisa said to herself as she got down from the vehicle. The pregnant lady was putting on a gown, one that was free, hiding her protruding belly from the prying eyes of pedestrians on the street. As she walked closer to the gate, lalisa took a deep breath, breathing in and out , seeing gently placing her hands on the aluminum gate, giving it a slight push and as she did that, it pushed open with ease , clearly indicating that it wasn't locked. Lalisa wasn't really surprised by this as if she could recall, the gate hadn't been locked at the time when she left. After looking left and r
It's been a while since she had a proper nap, but she had just had one today, as lalisa laid on the soft mattresses, her eyelid slid open, she had been sleeping for a while and had just woken up. Lalisa had actually listened to her doctor, and she had followed his advice, for the past few days, the pregnant lady had been going to the hospital for her antenatal care, which was very important, and with the way lalisa was feeling lately, she could confirm that it was indeed truly import for her. That wasn't all, the doctor had advised that lalisa rest a lot and stay away from hard works, stress that would be harmful to her pregnancy and she had done that too, all thanks to her mom who had tried so much to be around lalisa so much lately, most times the woman would leave to work late in the morning and return early, just to be with lalisa, what had happened to lalisa had scared the woman that she didn't want anything to happen to her daughter again. The doctor had also told Lalisa to ta
Mr X could be seen matching into a corridor, after taking a deep breath he pulled the Door knob and then walked inside the room. Right there inside the room, Mr X could see Nicholas sleeping on the bed , he hadn't woken up yet, an Mr X didn't even know if he wanted Nicholas to wake up or not, he just stood there staring a him,looking at the boy for sometime, he took a stool and sat beside the bed, staring at the boy. " I wish it didn't have to happen this way " Mr X said to himself as he stared at Nicholas. Mr X still had the mask on his face, the mask of the bull which he wears every time, he hardly take it off , he only do that when he was around those who already knows what he looked like.. for those who don't know how or what he looked like, they thought maybe he was hiding a scar on his face or maybe he just don't want anyone to know what he looked like. Rumors had even circulated that Mr X was fred at one point in time, since Fred's body had not been found, this was why Clai
right in a particular area in the forest, a fight was going on, the group had dropped their weapons so had Nicholas, and right now Nicholas could be seen jumping into the air delivering a kick to one of the men's face, sending the man to the ground, Nicholas had always been good with his legs and fistand overall fighting skills, and right now those fighting skills were coming in handy. yet Another man was rushing to attack from behind Nicholas and he was quick to move out of the way, the man missed as his fist went straight ahead, connecting to the skull of his team member, punching the man on the head as he staggered backwards, docking to the ground, Nicholas attacked with an uppercut, sending the strike to the skull of the chin of the man as he staggered backwards and fell to the ground. " Y'all should back down now or else? " Nicholas warned, taking his stance again ready for anyone who dares attack. " Or else what? , We are taking you to Mr X whether you like it or not, you hav
Having friends was not as bad as she had thought, Maggie had thought it was a bit deal to make friends, but surprisingly she had actually fell for Aliya, with every passing minute the two spent together, maggie couldn't help but cherish it, Aliya was the only friend she have had so far and she could say it was one of the best moments of her life, she love it when Aliya smiled, she loved the joked she made, see love every single thing that aliyah did and she was very certain that Aliya felt the same way for her. The hunting which they had embarked on had been a successful one, in fact they had killed something that was impossible for them to carry home, this as the antelope , the same antelope which Aliya had shit, going against Maggie's instructions on shooting the antelope even before Maggie's would complete her statement. Even with this Maggie love grew more fir Aliya and as it is now, she would gladly Lay down her life for the phoenix princess if it was to come to that. The ant
Outside a tent, a few people were present, none other than Mason, Claire, Gibson, Peter, Jackson, Abby, Chris, Spider, Sylvester and the chief commander of the government army James A. Milley. They had all gathered outside a tent as they wanted to hear about the news Jackson and Abby had brought. Earlier they had mentioned something about a trial an the they had said they knew where Aliya was been held. , Nowone knows how true this was. But jackson and Abby where part of mason's elite group so they were to be trusted, there was no need for panicing or fear of falling into the enemies trap. " You mentioned that you found a trail, and that trail led you both to where Aliya was being held ? " Mason washed as he stared at Jackson, after all Jackson had been the one to give this report and not abby." Yes my lord, that's true. But the thing is we are not totally sure Aliya is in there, but there is a probability that she is kept there, " Jackson explained, and immediately Jackson finished
In the deep area of the forest, two ladies could be seen , one of them holding a pistol while the other wasn't, ofcourse Maggie was the one with the pistol while Aliya on the other hand was not holding any weapons, except for the little knife she had found covered in a pile of dried leaves, according to her, it might come in handy in a dire situation. Right now the two ladies were in the first for a hunt, they have been walking for a while and they haven't seen any animals." Do you think we would find anything, I mean it has been so quiet since we entered the forest, I don't think there is life out here " Aliya complained as she paused with both hands on her waist. " Shhh, you should stay quiet, look carefully to your right " Maggie whispered as she stretched her gun Forward, gently focusing it in the direction which she had just mentioned to aaliyah. As Aaliyah followed Maggie's hands with her gaze,her eyes widened as two squirrels could be seen running on a tree branch , they bo
It was morning already, probably 5am or 6. The morning came with a fug, one which filled the whole environment outside. It had also brought a cold to the environment, making everyone put on their cardigans and sweaters. Maggie had just woken up, as some as hr eyelid slid open, she was met with a sleeping Aliya who was sleeping peacefully beside her on the mattress like a little baby, her hair covered a part of her face, even if it was parked into a ponytail the night before, little strands of it had left the pack , resting on her face with the ends on the bed, Maggie could'bt deny the fact that Aliya was beautiful, if she was ama see would have want her all to herself, but as luck wanted to have it, she was not a man but a woman. Getting up on her feet, Maggie was careful not to wake up the sleeping princess or rather sleeping beauty. Sheslowky walked into the bathroom and took her bath, after a while she walked out of the bathroom with just her undies, immediately she walked out
At the small house which looked like a storeroom or Warehouse, two ladies were present, they were seated on the stools in the room having dinner as they were in the middle of a conversation. " Uhm you mentioned you were lost? " Aliyah asked as he bit down on a piece of meat which was placed on a small plate in front of her. " Uhuh , I was lost, at first I thought I was gonna die, but I was able to escape from the area where the rest of my team were killed , killed by this creature which I can't fathom, a creature which had four arms, how was it possible to defeat such a creature, I fear for the others right now " Abbie said as she shook her head." I can imagine, you know I have been in the black bulls' custody for a long time , I have even lost track of time, I don't really know how long I have been there, " Aliyah said, taking a sip from the mashed fruit drink which was made by Maggie. " You must have suffered a lot , were you hurt in any way? You know what I mean " Maggie said,
