MY PROMISE TO THE DEAD
The morning sun bled through the curtains of the duplex, casting a warm glow over the tangled sheets. For a few stolen moments, the world outside didn’t exist. Zeus held Juliana close, his large hand resting on the small of her back. The scent of her skin was the only peace he had known in fifteen years.But the peace was shattered by a sharp, rhythmic pounding on the front door."Commander Zeus! A message from the Emperor!" a voice shouted from the hallway.Zeus stiffened. The reality of the palace returned like a cold splash of water. He sat up, his muscles rippling in the morning light. Juliana pulled the silk sheet to her chest, her eyes wide with worry."Don't go," she whispered, grabbing his arm. "It’s a trap, Zeus. He knows.""He suspects," Zeus corrected, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "But he wants to play the game of kings first. If I don't go, I look like a coward. If I go, I look him in the eye."Zeus stood up and began to dress. Every few seconds, he stopped what he w
I AM A MAN WITH A WOMAN TO PROTECT
The night air was thick with the scent of rain and woodsmoke, but inside Zeus’s duplex, the only sound was the steady splash of water against stone. After the confrontation with Gabriel, Zeus’s blood was boiling. He needed the cold water to numb the rage that threatened to consume him. He had left the door to his bathing chamber slightly ajar, trusting the heavy silence of the house.Outside the bathroom, Juliana stood in the shadows of his bedroom. Her heart was hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird. She knew that Gabriel’s arrival changed everything. Tomorrow, there might be a battle. The day after, Zeus might be forced to flee or be executed. The world was falling apart around them, and she realized with a sudden, sharp clarity that she didn't want to die without ever truly belonging to the man she loved.With shaking hands, she reached for the silk ties of her gown. The fabric slid to the floor, leaving her standing in the moonlight, pale and shivering. A weird, desperate
KILLING DEATH
The news of Zeus’s rise spread like a wildfire across the dry plains and over the jagged borders of the kingdom. In the taverns of the border towns, people whispered about the "Ghost of the Black Hole"—the prisoner who had endured a thousand stones, rejected a royal bride, and tamed the rock-breaking giant, Afam.The story was no longer just about a man, it was about a shift in power. The prisoners, once a broken mass of men, were now standing taller. They were sharpening their old tools into weapons and looking at Zeus not as a jailer, but as a king without a crown.In the desert camps to the East, Toby, the leader of the raiders, laughed when he heard the news. He sat by a campfire, sharpening a serrated blade. "General Alex has invited a wolf into his sheepfold," Toby told his men. "Let them fight. While they argue over who wears the Commander’s cloak, we will prepare to take the palace."But further away, in the marble halls of the Great Empire, the news was received with a cold,
HE IS TAKING OVER THE BARRACKS
The atmosphere in the Great Square was suffocating. The transition from a royal wedding to a gladiator pit had happened in the blink of an eye. Thousands of eyes were fixed on the center of the arena, where Zeus stood like a lone pillar against the approaching storm.Afam moved forward, and the sound was like a building collapsing. Crunch. Crack. Snap. With every stride of his massive, trunk-like legs, the expensive marble tiles—imported from the distant coast—shattered into white dust. He was a man made of meat and fury, his chest so wide it seemed to block out the sun.As he reached the center, Afam stopped. He looked down at Zeus, a slow, yellow-toothed smile spreading across his dark face. His voice came from deep within his chest, sounding like boulders grinding together."I have waited a long time for this, little 'Commander,'" Afam rumbled. He flexed his arms, and the thick veins on his biceps looked like snakes coiling under his skin. "They say you are a god. They say you cann
GIANT AFAM
The Great Square was a sea of confusion. The wedding music had turned into a discordant mess of trumpets as Deborah’s white-clad figure disappeared into the shadows of the North Wing. The common people whispered behind their hands, and the prisoners exchanged looks of pure shock. The "unbreakable" plan of the General had shattered in front of the entire kingdom.General Alex stood as still as a statue on his high dais. His hands were clenched so tightly on the arms of his throne that the wood began to groan. His eyes were not on his fleeing sister; they were fixed entirely on Zeus. They were bloodshot, rimmed with a fiery red rage that promised death. He knew. He knew that the silent, stoic man standing at the altar had somehow whispered into Deborah’s ear and dismantled his strategy.Beside him, Commander Greg looked like a man who had seen his own execution. He was shaking, his face pale and sweating. He had spent weeks imagining how he would use Deborah to humiliate Zeus—how he wou
CANCELLED THE WEDDING
The final night before the wedding was the quietest the palace had ever been. Outside the duplex, the guards were already setting up the flower arches and the long tables for the feast. The smell of roasting meat filled the air, but inside his room, Zeus felt like he was preparing for a funeral rather than a celebration.He sat by the window, watching the moon. He knew that by this time tomorrow, he would be legally bound to a woman he did not love, trapped in a life of lies. He looked at Deborah, who was sitting on the floor, trying to braid a piece of dirty string."Deborah," Zeus said softly. "Come here. I need to tell you the truth."Deborah looked up, her messy hair falling over her eyes. "Truth? Is it about the cake? I want the pink frosting.""No," Zeus said, his voice heavy. "It’s about why I am really here. And why your brother is so afraid of me."He sat her down on a chair. For the first time, he didn't look at her with disgust or annoyance. He looked at her with pity. He r
