The city of Yivel was a mosaic of stone spires and huge bazaars, but its north quarter was an open sore, infested by a plague of death that poisoned the air and stilled the streets. The plague quarter was quarantined, its narrow streets shut behind wooden palisades, their faces smeared with notices in blood-red paint. The plague was merciless, its victims wiry and sweating, their bodies smeared with festering black boils, their coughs death knells. There were empty houses, boarded-up windows, chalk-crossed doors. There was a reek of rot, and a small, acrid bite of medicinal herbs that could not stem the tide. Yivel's best physicians, wrapped in white robes and leather hoods, glided like spirits, their remedies futile, their furrowed, tortured faces. Norman, a foreigner to this world, was tasked with finding the antidote where the smartest had fallen short, his quest a thread held to the vault and Murai, the Kurai most precious, his master's sister, who bore it next to her heart.

His heart drummed, and he tried to control himself to make sure he didn't spoil everything.“Good evening Drake. How are you doing?” He was greeted, and he expressed with a smirk as well drake on the other hand welcome him.

    Norman had been in the lab for a pretty long time. He had dark circles, and his white white eyes were now red. Norman hadn't gotten a wink of sleep in days and it had started to affect him. He felt his eyes stinging badly but he knew stopping at this point was bad for him. The war had only almost started, and he needed to get something to actually calm him down.The only way to calm himself down at this point was to make sure that he finally found the code he had been looking for.He had been looking for the codes, and it wasn't like he wasn't getting any, but it seemed like the code he was getting wasn't the major one he needed.He ran his hands through his hair, exhaling as he pulled away from the screen of the system he was working on. “Shit,” Norman cursed. He exhaled again, but he was interrupted by the door to his lab open.It was Cassian who had a very serious expression on his face. He seemed worried because Norman was starting to look a bit too tired. He had noticed how Nor

She had been told the place, the time and the location. All to make sure everything was in place. “Are you ready?” She asked with raised brows, and they nodded, raising their hands.On the other hand, the present of a neighbouring city was arriving for the submit. He had an escort following him, and was resting his head on the car rest.Bakely was getting ready to be revived. He was also interested in whatever was going on. He didn't care about anything else, and just wanted to arrive, and get some rest before the party.“How long until we get there?” He asked, and was shocked when his driver explained. “About an hour and half sir.” “An hour?” He answered, and Bakely hummed. He seemed to not be able to wait any longer. There were so many other things involved. There was silence as the trail of cars moved smooth

    Henry's father had pledged his loyalty to the bishop, and he was trusted with a mission, one he was sure he would be able to handle.He was placed with the task of escorting a weapon that had been prepared to the presidential suit. “Alright I'll make sure everything goes well, you don't have to worry about anything, I promise…” he expressed ending the call with a determined look on his face. It was really obvious they things were going to go well for him because he had actual joined the winning team. There were more things that was needed. He headed to the werehouse where the weapons had already been put in place, and was ready to be moved. “Are you sure everything here is set?” Henry's had asked as he went through the weapons content. He wanted to be sure that everything was in place for the movement.“Yes sir, we made sure to confirm every single thing that's needed, everypiece is in there.” Henry's dad nodded. That was all he needed to hear. He made sure to escort the weapon al

    “Pregnant? What do you mean pregnant?” He asked with a raised brow, but Jackson was quiet. Whatever Jackson did made Drake angry. He stood up, and grabbed Jackson by the collar. However, Jackson didn't seem the least interested. He was just silent, watching how Drake rsnted nonstop.“How dare you?! How dare you?!” He screamed, and there was silence. No one knew exactly what was up. The only thing that was known was that one man was attacking the other. “How dare me? The person you should be questioning for not telling you is Lena, and not me. You should know what you're doing, and also be careful. Just because you're the bishop's new favourite doesn't mean you can come to me the way you like. Do you understand me?!” Jackson clapped back, and frowned his face. He knew there was a lot involved. His wife not telling him was some thing, but a stranger knowing before him was worse. Drake walked out of there with anger. There was a lot of things on his mind, but own of the things he want

    Drake smiled as he worked into the police station. There was already a new police chief appointed since Bethany had gone into hiding with the rest of the gang.“Mr Drake, it's nice to have you…” he stood up immediately his eyes met with Drake's, and he had a serious smile on his face. I could tell there were a lot of things involved at this point. “Yes, the pleasure is all mine…” Drake looked around and then smiled. “I like what you've done with the place. I see you've been busy,” his expression changed into a really serious one. “Thank you. Please come have a seat…” the chief gestured, and then quickly rushed to the coffee maker in his office. “Coffee?” However Drake immediately shook his head. He wasn't actually trying to take time here. He already had a lot of things he wanted to do, and that wasn't one of them. “I came here for something much more important, I have no idea why you're trying to be like this. Take a seat. I came here to talk about the integration of weapons. Ho

    Loving how Bethany had taken charge, he also wanted to form a revolt team. He knew it wasn't easy, and how a lot of people were going to die which was actually his fear. He sighed, finally coming with a decision.He moved closer to Bethany, and her eyes widened. It seemed strange, but it was something he couldn't really understand at this point. He really didn't expect things to turn this way. Everything was just messed up.“Are you sure you're okay? Why are you staring at me like this?” she asked. Bethany had been defensive around me because she always thought Norman was trying to destroy her plans, but then she was shocked when he moved closer to her. “The revolt is getting stronger. You're convincing so many people. I know you're doing a lot, but I'm just shocked. How are you able to do things like this?” He asked, and there was silence. No one knew exactly what to say. It was already getting out of hand, and at this point, she was quiet. She didn't know what was going on anymore

    That evening, Lena managed to sneak out of the house without being noticed. She was sure that since he had placed a suspicion tag on her, she wouldn't be able to escape whatever was coming. She decided to use a cab instead, and dressed in an outfit that kept her in the dark. "So what exactly are you trying to tell me? Are you trying to tell me that he's on your trial?" She was asked, but shook my head When she got to the mansion. "Calm down. I didn't say he was unto me. I had to come because the house was no longer safe to talk. You have to calm down and understand where we are coming from. Do you know that it's no longer funny?" He hummed, taking a seat. "Have you started to put things in motion, and what made you change your mind? Why didn't you want the plan to take place on the day of the summit any more…" She shook her head. "Too many distractions. The drunk might go to the wrong person. You need to understand that I want things to go smoothly. I have made him believe I supp

    Lena was already going well with everything. She was happy, and Jackson was moving by her side “So the coup is happening before the meeting right? We both know we can't make it happen during the meeting because it's not going to make sense. Do you understand me?” she asked, but immediately noticed footsteps. Her heart skipped a beat, and she tried her best to make sense of everything. She paused, placing her ear out to listen. Her heart drummed, and she heard footsteps.It didn't take long before she ended the call the plan had already started, they had started to plan all they needed, but the fact that she was almost caught scared her so much. She swallowed, feeling her hands shaking on her own. She knew that there was a lot involved. She was there, and for a while with her hands over her lips. She knew that a lot of things were already involved.Her hands were shaking, and she got scared. Maybe what her father said was finally going to happen. Maybe she was going to end up being
