Nathan had calmed Rachel down, knowing she was not going to take the news of her family's condition lightly, but then they had given him something he wouldn't have expected to get in a million years. ‘She is the last living member of the Arias family, and this isn't going to be easy to hide for long.’ He thought to himself, trying to put it together in his head; he knew what he was in for and how it would pan out. Rachel was an important part in Caldor, and she didn't know what powers lay in her hands and what she was going to be doing with all that power in her possession. Knock, Knock. There was a knock on the door. Nathan slowly turned, looking at the door with an empty look on his face, showing how worried he was. The door opened, and Loid and Steven Lancer. The only people he knew who would know how they were going to help deal with the entire situation and how they would be trying to keep far from it all. “I didn't know you would show up this fast,” he smiled

“You know what I told you about calling me out of the blue, it’s not something you should do unless you have something for me.” Cruz had a sour smile on his face, but it didn’t spell. I am happy to see you, or I am glad you called me, and I am excited to see your type of smile. “I didn’t know if you would have come if I said I would meet you wherever you were…” Elizabeth was looking at him, knowing that the man was something she had to be wary of and not trying to cause trouble with. Cruz rolled his eyes, knowing that he was about to hear some unrealistic thing that no one would be able to understand. “So why in the world are you trying to talk to me? It better be important…” Elizabeth was trying to show him why she called him there, and it wasn’t suddenly clear to her why she was even playing that sort of game. “Rachel is the last member of a branch in the Martins family called the Arias, and they…” “What did you say?” Cruz stopped her, looking at her with a strange look on h

Nathan made plans to keep Rachel safe from anything that would bring them trouble, and he knew that there was a good chance that they would do something stupid and even try to hurt her. “Wait, what in the world do you mean that she is an important piece to Zauf? She doesn't even know what they are!” Elena was surprised that there was something like this happening, and from the way Natan sounded, she knew it was not something made up. Nathan was rubbing his scalp. He knew that explaining to everyone would be harder than any other thing but he was going to do it anyway. “The problem is that she is more connected to Zauf in a bad and good way; they might be coming for her, and they will not stop until they know that she is not going to be a problem for them to tackle.” The line was silent. Elena knew what it meant for something to be an important asset for Zauf, and that same thing was a problem for them. They would do anything to make it go away. “Nathan, I feel like you made a p

In everything he had done, he was always sure that there wouldn't be a slipup. Sirus knew what he was doing when he sent the men for Rachel and how they would be doing the worst thing in their lives if they were to even think for a second to go for Nathan. He had learned that the news of Rachel being an Arias had reached Cruz first, but he didnt do anything but keep it for himself, trying to do something with the information and make sure that no one would be able to take something from him. “The man is always up to something nasty, I dont know if I am going to be able to trust him easily if he is going to keep trying to take something we dont know and put it aside like he is even meant to think about it for a minute before he told us what he had learned.” Sirus knew that there was a chance that they would be able to use it to their advantage to be sure that no one would take them down. He got up from his seat, dressed in a long coat with a black suit to match the cold and harsh w

Ohera was ecstatic to hear the news Cruz had given him, it was something huge and it was way beyond anything anyone would try to give them at the moment. “So you are telling me that she is of an old bloodline and this isn't something you would want to make up to get someone to do something you want in the end.” He was looking at Cruz; the smile on his face was enough to tell what he was going to be getting them from the entire thing. “I am sure of it, if she were able to get this to me and make sure that she would hand it over on a silver platter, then you should know that there is something more coming from them, and it feels beyond real to even want to deal with this.” Cruz was happy; he knew what he had found and how it was going to be the help he would need to tear Nathan down. All he needed was something that would lead him to the girl and a way for him to make sure that no one would come close to even making it hard for Nathan to think of a way out of the trouble he was abou

“Come on, Rachel, you don’t need to do anything to make sure that nothing is going to come your way from all the angels, and I will make sure you will not even know what is going to happen if you let it go that much.” Elena was trying to see if he could get Rachel to calm down over some business agreements they had, and from what he was seeing, it was not going to be easy for anything even to happen. Rachel was trying to get her head out of the game for some time, knowing what it meant if they were about to get something done. “I am telling you, if we can get this company to back down, then there is a chance for you to maximise the earning rate of this company, and we aren't going to be getting anything out of it if we keep taking the low way down.” Elena had a smile on her face. She was surprised that Rachel was picking up fast enough like that, and there was nothing a bit off about it except that she was now taking everything like she was darn pro in the field for a long time.

Their clash was strong enough to send waves through the company wall, and Elena was strong enough to hold her own against Cruz. It was like trying to put down a rabid dog, trying to do its best to kill her. Every strike Cruz made, Elena seemed to have a counter and a quick recovery time that made it hard for anyone to even put up with her in any way. She was one of the generals for a reason, and that reason was that no one would even think of coming close to her to put her down. Cruz saw what she was doing and the way it felt like she had the moves waiting for him to make a mistake. “You know this is why I always saw you as someone formidable, and I would never do anything to cross your path.” He said as he took a step back, his eyes on Elena, who didnt seem to have broken a sweat yet. “It was the reason why you didn't even look like someone I would try to take on because I knew the moment I went for you, then there would be problems that even my skills couldn’t buy me out of.”

Sirus stood across the hall, looking at Cruz, waiting for him to make a move that would give him the opening he needed to take him down. There was nothing that would give him more joy than to remove the one man who seemed to be a huge problem for him at the moment. Cruz was still shocked to see Sirus in front of him. He knew something was about to happen, and it was about to take a swing south if he wasn't going to use his brain. “I—I didnt do anything to make you angry, my liege, and you know it. There is nothing that should make you even think of…” “You found out that Rachel Martins is the last living member of the Arias family, and what did you do?” Sirus spoke softly, but his voice never wavered to be soothed by anything to be trifled with, and his eyes were on Cruz, trying to see if he was going to use it to pin him down and make sure he would take out the man who was making things hard for him at the moment. “You went on to take her out alone, not even trying to bring it to

Nathan had gotten the call from Rachel while he was in another meeting with Loid and Steven. He didnt think much of it, but hearing her voice and her being all worried was something off. “Rachel, what is going on?” He was already worried that there was something about to happen; it was not even possible that something might have happened. “It's a code black, she is out there fighting someone and….”The line went dead, Nathan was looking at the phone, his eyes were empty, and he was trying to get his head through who might have gotten there. He was not about to rush there knowing that there was a chance they would be putting her in danger, but then there was something going on, and if he was not fast about it, then something might happen to Rachel, and he would never be able to forgive himself for it. “What happened?” Loid was looking at Nathan, the man walked past him with a strange look on his face, showing he was not about to be handling anything that was beyond what he would w

Years ago, on the blood-stained snows of the Northern Plain…The warriors of Zauf were parading with their lord standing by their side; they were going to take over one of the biggest lands on the continent, and nobody would be able to stop them. With them was the strongest warrior in their nation, the one known for his cruelty and strength. The Shadow of Zauf himself…Sirus had taken down the army of the North, blocking their path with his valiant men, and they were not going to let anything even come close to making it hard. “Sirus, today the North will fall, and you will be the one who led us to this victory.” Klaus had a smile on his face knowing that the warrior he had assigned as his second in command was up for the duty, and nothing was going to hold him back from doing anything that he was assigned to do. “Lord Klaus, I will forever serve you and the army of our powerful nation of Zauf. They aren’t going to get us to back down from a fight, and even if they had a plan to
