Valerian Empire

A dark time when the creatures of shadow descended unto the tranquil human lands, making their existence known. A time followed when empires were led by humanity's conspiracy and betrayal, a time filled with hatred, but unbeknownst to the humans, they were only mere puppets, pawns of greater beings of darkness, entities with the power to crush anything and everything in their way. What happens when a small human girl catches the eye of one of these so-called greater beings, a pureblooded Lord? Can an ant such as her survive the political strifes and fearsome feuds between the lands and the monsters that control them. For those who fear vampires, ghosts and the unknown, I offer two words of advice… Tread lightly. -------- "Why should I avoid him? He was a perfect gentleman, a good man," Katherine Welcher argued in his defense. "Good or not, neither matter," Alexander Delcrov warned her, "As long as you're under my wing, you shall behave and listen to my words. Do not let any man kiss you, Katherine. I don’t want others to call you improper." "There was nothing improper about it! And I'm not yours to obey," she blurted out in annoyance, feeling her face flush with embarrassment for the second time this evening, "I mean, you can't order me aro—-" "So disobedient," he stated with nonchalance before moving his hand from her waist to her back, pulling her closer to him as they danced. His breath tickled her nape. "So you’ll only listen if you are mine?"

Little Josie sat in front of the mirror with a towel that was spread around her neck. Her mother, Lady Katherine, stood behind her, combing her uneven hair cut by her brother a few minutes ago. 

"Really now. I told you to stay put and not to go outside," Katherine mildly scolded her daughter, where the little one now sat with both her hands on her lap while blinking her eyes. 

"But, mama, there was a rabbit outside," came the small voice of the girl. 

Katherine smiled at her daughter's innocent words. She brought the scissor before starting to trim Josie' hair even so that they didn't look jagged. The long hair had now turned shoulder length. "You should have asked your brother. I am sure he wouldn't mind bringing the rabbit to you."

"I didn't want to bother him," Josie looked down at her hands, playing with her fingers.
