Valerian Empire

A dark time when the creatures of shadow descended unto the tranquil human lands, making their existence known. A time followed when empires were led by humanity's conspiracy and betrayal, a time filled with hatred, but unbeknownst to the humans, they were only mere puppets, pawns of greater beings of darkness, entities with the power to crush anything and everything in their way. What happens when a small human girl catches the eye of one of these so-called greater beings, a pureblooded Lord? Can an ant such as her survive the political strifes and fearsome feuds between the lands and the monsters that control them. For those who fear vampires, ghosts and the unknown, I offer two words of advice… Tread lightly. -------- "Why should I avoid him?

"Good or not, neither matter," Alexander Delcrov warned her, "As long as you're under my wing, you shall behave and listen to my words. Do not let any man kiss you, Katherine. I don’t want others to call you improper." "There was nothing improper about it! And I'm not yours to obey," she blurted out in annoyance, feeling her face flush with embarrassment for the second time this evening, "I mean, you can't order me aro—-" "So disobedient," he stated with nonchalance before moving his hand from her waist to her back, pulling her closer to him as they danced. His breath tickled her nape. "So you’ll only listen if you are mine?"

Checkmate- Part 2

He took her to the mansion's garden and went to start moving the leaves on the ground to reveal two doors. She looked at it amazed, it was as if the entire mansion was made of secret passages, hidden away from the main authorities eyes which not even the Lord and the Lady knew, except for the two siblings.

She got inside and he followed behind her, but not before locking back the little doors. She heard two stones flick against each other and there was light in the passage as Malphus had lit the little torch.

"The torch won't sustain until we reach the end of the tunnel and we don't know if someone will notice the passageway we came from, we will have to be fast," Malphus said taking the lead.

"I heard the witches are going to perform their witchcraft in the forest," Katie relayed the information to him.
