Lady Natalia froze mid-smile, her heart skipping a violent beat as Dustin’s words cut straight through her seductive facade.

She looked at the young man who did not even lift his face from the glowing laptop screen, and her mouth felt completely dry.

"You... you know who I am?" she whispered, her manicured fingers subtly shifting toward a hidden needle gu

    The red transmitter continued to flash with a bright, blood-red light as the voice of Chancellor Vane echoed across the courtyard stones.The tiny metal speaker box shook on the dirty ground, making a very high and angry squeaking sound that hurt the ears.The rain fell very hard from the dark clouds, but it could not wash away the scary words coming from the box lines.Chancellor Vane is the absolute supreme head of the multi-trillion-dollar Imperial High Palace Council that secretly controls the national banking grids.He sat inside his grand golden office room far away in the city center, his fingers tapping on a giant mahogany desk panel.He had more gold money than all the provinces combined, and his word could start a big war in less than one second."Your small provincial Vanguard Group has exactly twelve hours to hand over the Sovereign Ring, or we will freeze every drop of clean water and medicine in the state," Vane sneered."You think you are a king because you broke my lit

    The ten thousand golden celestial chariots and heavy armored hovercrafts roared across the sky lanes, their long laser cannons charging with blinding white light.The sky became super bright like ten suns were burning all at the same time over the mountain top.A huge noise like big thunder rolled through the clouds, making the air feel very hot and heavy."Look at the big golden cars in the sky!" a poor elven prisoner screamed out with loud fear."They have the giant lasers ready to blast us all into tiny pieces of black ash right now!""We just got saved from the dirty mud, and now the big realm army is coming to kill us!" another elf wept.The massive sub-frequency energy from the enemy fleet caused the golden ladder steps to vibrate violently, threatening to throw the elven prisoners into the abyss below.The long golden steps began to shake back and forth like a leaf inside a very big wind storm.The small stones on the path rolled off the edge, dropping down into the deep dark h

    The massive, reinforced iron gates of the Dragon-Gate Fortress burst inward with a loud boom as Dustin Grey walked into the grand courtyard.The heavy black metal split wide open, throwing big chunks of iron left and right across the wet stone floorboards.The rain fell very hard from the dark sky, hitting the cold ground over and over like a scary drum beat.At the center of the stone courtyard stood a high, wooden execution scaffold where his loyal young cousin, Lily Grey, hung bound by heavy steel chains.The thick metal wires wrapped tight around her small arms and legs, making a sharp clinking sound when she shivered from the wind.Her school dress was torn and dirty from the long mountain ride, her face covered in white dust and hot running tears."Dustin! Run! It’s a massive trap! There are thousands of them hidden in the shadows!" Lily Grey shrieked frantically, her face covered in tears."They have big guns inside the stone cave walls, and they have long knives waiting to cut

    The military helicopters swerved through the treacherous, jagged ravines of the Dragon-Gate Peak under a heavy torrential downpour.The big black wings cut the wet wind with a very loud chop-chop-chop sound that shook the high mountain rocks.The red emergency lights from the cabin frames flashed over the dark cliffs like a pack of angry eyes."Hold the steering wheel tight! The mountain wind is blowing too hard!" a pilot shouted into his headset wire."We are entering the deep valley lanes! Keep the machines steady above the mud paths right now!""The target ridge is just two hundred feet away! Prepare the ropes for the black guard commandos!"Dustin Grey leaps from the lead cabin before it even lands, dropping eighty feet into the mud with absolute, flawless physical grace.His long black commander robe billowed out behind his broad shoulders like a giant dark cloud of pure doom.He hit the wet dirt floorboards with an immense physical force, but his knees did not bend a single mill

    At midnight, the private subterranean tarmac beneath Vanguard Tower was illuminated by hundreds of flashing tactical floodlights.The bright white lamps blinked fast, making the dark underground room look like a giant palace of bright lights.The thick concrete floorboards shook up and down from the heavy weight of the big war machines.Twelve heavy, armored military-grade transport helicopters sat with their massive rotor blades spinning in a synchronized roar.The big black wings cut the air with a very loud chop-chop-chop sound that made the ears feel tight.The hot gas wind blew all over the floor, creating a thick white exhaust mist that smelled like hot iron fuel.Five thousand elite Vanguard commandos, dressed in full black tactical battle armor, stood in perfect, flawless military formation.They stood in ten long rows, their iron face masks shiny under the big flashing floodlights.They held their long black machine guns very tight across their chests, not moving a single mil

    A sudden, chilling breeze swept through the medical suite, causing the sterile glass monitors to hum with unusual static interference.The clean screens on the white walls blinked fast, making a sharp, buzzing noise that cut through the quiet air.The warm sun light from the giant window became cold, and a dark shadow seemed to fall over the beds.Commander Jones entered the room, his face completely pale as he held an ancient, blood-stained black velvet scroll.His big hands were shaking hard, and his heavy boots made a loud, frantic clicking sound on the floorboards.He ran straight to the side of the bed, his chest huffing and puffing with an intense wave of pure fear."Lord Grey! A mysterious courier just delivered this to our main perimeter gates," Jones reports, his voice shaking."The man wore a dark mask and jumped over the iron rail lines before our black guards could pull their rifles!""He dropped this black roll in the dirt and vanished into the capital fog like a real gho
