Consultations are normally 200 dret just for the fitting and then his custom suits start at 2000 dret just for the jacket.”
David pulled out his black gold card, “Trust me, not an issue.”
“But, Gary…” the man started to ask, remembering the cab fee.
“Gary and Steven and everyone else will believe whatever they want. Tell this Mr. Brooks that a VIP with unlimited resources would like to see him.”
“Right. One moment.”
Fifteen minutes later, an older gentleman dressed in one of the finest gray suits David had seen in a while walked in. “I understand a VIP has visited.”
The store clerk pointed to David.
“Hmm. You are not much to look at. Did you forget your clothes somewhere, sir?” Mr.

David stood in the shower for a long time, letting the water cleanse him of the blood and dirt from the cave. His torso and back were covered in dark purple and blue bruises and small lacerations. His shoulder and collarbone ached with movement but he grit his teeth and suppressed the pain.There was a sturdy bar on the wall for handicap accessibility and heWhen he got out, there was a thin robe waiting for him on the door and he simply sat on the bed, mind racing though possibilities.The huntsmen were an elite team of soldiers that had worked with him for several years, most holding the rank of Second Lieutenant or above. They were each highly skilled in the ways of war in all environments but what made them truly unique was their knowledge of the fae.While there was little known about the fae in general, the Huntsmen had access to all the stored knowledge in the imperial archives about the fae and were the team responsible for hunting down any that m

*Steven Harlow POV*About the same time, Steven Harlow:Steven Harlow drove his new company car up the mountain towards the trail head. When that David fellow had said he didn’t have a current house, Steven hadn’t truly believed that he would be living out here in the woods.Jake, the local outdoor guide had been able to give him a general idea of where David could be found. He had no intention however, of traipsing through the woods to find this man. Hopefully he would get the text he sent before driving out here.Steven had to admit, this was a beautiful and scenic drive. He just hoped David wouldn’t be too filthy if he had to give the man a ride. Tonight’s banquet could finally provide a chance to get Sarah out of the company limelight.As he drove around the mountain, a helicopter lifted off and flew towards Perdony, the provincial capital city of Estopia Province. He spotted David, speckled in red blood an

In one of the of the alcoves, David found a desk with a single sheet of ancient paper set out as if on display.“The way is closed. The brothers passed through, the way I will guard. The caves could not sustain us, so they made the ultimate sacrifice, to guard from within the forest of night. May the new fortress stand the test of time.”Damn. This ancient order must have abandoned this cave and opted to live within the fae lands, establishing a foothold there. If they could survive there, they would slowly become like the fae, bound by the same laws, but also subject to the harshest conditions.David quickly looked through the rest of the alcoves for anything useful. In one, he found a shelf with a thick well-preserved tome. He tucked it into his pack and then grabbed a few boards that made up what was left of a bed.He hurried back to the women and found Nyx hovering over Hailey.“You didn’t kill them?” he asked in s
Chapter 10
"That's not how this works and you know it." Having worked with Nyx for years, David was all too familiar with the tales of fae who were prone to lust, bearing a libido to rival the gods of old. Such a charming body had its dangers to those who dared to take the fae at face-value, and the gods could only set restrictions upon the fae so that they could not engage with mortals without bargaining first.That is, unless a mortal was foolish enough to follow them back to their home realm, where mortals were subject to fae law, instead of the other way around.Nyx paused in her movements, teasing David to a new level of desperate frustration. She waited until another growl escaped his throat before compromising with a smiling voice, "Fine, a soul of your choosing.""Hah, there will be no mortals left by the time you are sated. How about a favor instead? To be later determined." David felt that there was no reason to grant so many souls to this sly demon just for a night of pleasure. Certai

“Look at this. You know what we suspected before that there was more to it. Now look at it and consider the angles.”Nyx looked down at the sheet, her chin resting on his shoulder. “Looks the same to me. Besides, mortal necks break easy enough with enough force. Why are you so obsessed over this one sheet? You have studied it for years. I am bored looking at it.”“Then, find me a new one and we can study that,” David retorted. In truth, the imperial scribes had speculated that there had once been twelve such sheets. However, they belonged to the fae realm and only after some mad men had stolen six from a fae lord had they come into the mortal world. The only one still known was now in his hands, passed down from the Imperial scribes to him when he claimed the title of God of War.While many of the Imperial army’s top fighters had studied this sheet, he had been the first to see and understand a second level of meaning. This was no simple punch, but one that had allowed him to shatter
