On a dark, stormy night with the waves crashing against the tall rocky cliffs surrounding BloodStar Castle, Empress Victoria sat in a chair in a room illuminated only by the flickering flames emitted from the fireplace nearby.
She sat drinking a glass of red-wine blood as she sifted through the papers of both her archives and the stolen Heraklinos Empire archive papers.
As she sifted through the papers, there were both long stretches of texts to read and long stretches of predominately images to view. The images consisted mostly of depictions of her ancestors using various techniques with information on various techniques and how to use them to their fullest potential.
Victoria was surprised to find that the Heraklinos archives held such vast information about the range of techniques the BloodStar family could call upon, most notably those of the bloodline power. Her own archives were largely devoid of such information for the BloodStars practiced and mastered these techniques and held a fear of putting them into writing for they could then fall into enemy hands.
She thought to herself, “They must have compiled these facts from experience fighting against my ancestors in the prior wars of history. Quite impressive even if they are incomplete.”
Victoria found her own archives to be even more confusing yet as the Heraklinos Empire showed almost no depictions of demons or demon-like figures, something her own archives touched on greatly without further explanation.
Victoria racked her mind, “My ancestors weren’t ones to make art for the sake of art and then hide it deep in the tombs of BloodStar Castle. There is a missing link somewhere. What do these depictions of blood and demons mean?”
She was coming to the end of the Heraklinos Empire archives when she suddenly came upon a document which read:
“The BloodStar clan will rise to power. I have felt their potential. Thousands and thousands of years may pass before the pinnacle is discovered. There will be those who shift, fight, heal, and steal. But only one will conquer death.
Crimson blood-red hair. Grace the undead heir. Once fallen in a dark hour. Rise with unmatched power.
Pass through the gates of death. To reach your first breath.”
Victoria instantly recognized this same passage from her own archival papers. The text was written in blood that had since faded to time, but the granular deposits of iron could still be felt as texture on the page.
She rifled through her other stack to find the counterpart to this document. After searching for several minutes, she finally found it and held it up to the fire light to find the same inscription, in the same handwriting.
She leaned forward with great anticipation, “This is it! This must be it!”
She read over the two documents in unison as she read through accounts of Empress Bella BloodStar with reference to her sharp claws, razor sharp fangs, subtle but dangerous horns, and the most lethal aspect of her arsenal… an agile, sharp tail with a tip formed from the void itself.
She continued to read further and further. Slowly but surely, the stories of myths and legends intertwined with fact and began to reveal the true secret contained in the documents. A secret that was likely intended to be destroyed by the world after Empress Bella’s death; however, she hid the secret in plain sight by scattering meaningless parts of it between two empires.
After reading through the documents, Victoria committed the information to memory and tossed the entire stack of papers into the flames as she watched them burn to ensure the physical form of this knowledge in the world was completely lost.
She thought to herself, “If the Heraklinos Empire knew what they had, they would stop at nothing. They would even attack me directly to obtain such information. Great power, great weakness. All in one small world-changing document.”
She then stood and said softly to herself, “It seems I have but one more purpose in this world before my time has passed.” She looked up and yelled, “Guards!”
Four guards rushed in and bowed, “Yes Empress!”
She nodded and ordered them, “Recall the Blood Wraiths. All of them. I have important matters to discuss with them.”
The guards trembled a bit upon hearing her words. Blood Wraiths were ruthless and hard to control listening only to the word of the Empress. They were above BloodStar law and commanded their own respect by fear. However, the guards bowed, “It will be done Empress BloodStar.”

Within the BloodStar Citadel, Xenia walked with Arthur, “Thank you for making the trip up to see me, Arthur. We are slowly transforming Union Station, an old railroad station, into the foundation for a larger castle, something more becoming of the BloodStar Citadel. We will also outfit the Liberty Memorial Tower with black colors and extend its height as a symbol of our power in these lands.”
Arthur looked around as the entire citadel had become a construction site with men and women working overtime with purpose to complete the projects. He thought to himself, “She must have spent a fortune to recruit such talented construction teams to work at this pace.”
He then turned to her and said, “It is my pleasure to visit. After all, after the war I will be overseeing these lands. I should know them well.”
She replied, “Quite right you are, Arthur.”
He pointed to a truck full of industrial grade compressed-air cannisters and said, “What is within the cannisters?”
She grabbed his hand and ran over to the truck. She then turned back and proudly said, “I’ve been meaning to tell you. I’ve officially begun to mass produce my Compound X.”
Arthur furrowed his brow, “I have heard rumors of the Compound, but I am afraid I do not know the details. Something to do with pain?”
She walked up to him and put her arms around his neck and pushed her body up against his, “I still need one more person to test it out on before implementing en masse. Would you like to be my guinea pig? We can try it together while we have our fun.”
Arthur knew he might be biting off more than he could handle, but he also didn’t have the discipline to tell her ‘no’ when it came to having fun. He nodded, “I suppose we should both know the effects first hand before using it on our enemies.”
She immediately rushed in and gave him a big kiss on the lips, “Perfect! We are going to have so much fun. I promise.” She then started to run off and said, “Meet me in my room in 30 minutes!”
He waved to her as she rushed off, and she shouted back to him, “Wait for me naked!”
He gave an embarrassed smile as several nearby workers shot him looks of jealousy and disbelief. He then made for her room.
Once in her private quarters on citadel grounds, he began to undress and lay in her bed naked waiting for her. Not ten minutes later, Xenia walked in with a bunch of five black balloons and a big smile on her face, “I am so excited! I’ve only used Compound X once before, and it was absolutely thrilling.”
She then wiped the smile off her face and snapped her fingers as she pointed to the chair, “Sit down right here. Now.”
Arthur jumped to attention and sat in the chair. She walked around behind him and tied his hands tight saying, “Pain can make a man go mad. I don’t want you losing control halfway through, so I am going to fasten you extra tight to this chair.”
She then stood in her all-black leather outfit and walked back to the bunch of balloons and grabbed their strings. She looked up at them and said, “These balloons are filled with a diluted mixture of Compound X. It will take three balloons to reach maximum effect. Are you ready?”
Strapped to the chair with his arms behind his back, he nodded with excitement. She then smiled, “Then let’s begin.”
She took the first balloon out of the bunch and placed it between her legs. She pulsed her legs squeezing it gently saying, “Once I pop this first one, there’s no going back.” She rubbed the balloon with her leather gloves and moaned until finally she squeezed the balloon between her thighs popping it with a loud ‘POP’!
She took a deep breath of the air and a shiver of tingling pain tremored throughout her body and didn’t cease. She breathed out a sigh of pleasure and said, “Can you feel it? That rush of pleasure and pain!”
She walked over to the stereo and pressed play starting an upbeat tune, and she walked back to grab the next balloon. She took in her hands and set in Arthur’s lap placing the balloon between him and her and said, “Kiss me, Arthur.”
He tried to lean forward with the slack in his ropes; however, he found the balloon to be in his way. She put her arms behind her back and said, “Don’t be shy. Kiss me.” She stuck her lips out and waited for him.
He leaned forward as much as he could putting pressure on the balloon as he did until finally the balloon went ‘POP!” and his body rushed into her lips giving her a sloppy kiss. She immediately put her hands on his head and began to kiss him in return as the pain from the gas within the balloons rushed into both of their bodies.
Arthur began to scream and clench his eyes shut as he pushed himself back in his seat. The pain was only just bearable, and he knew there was more to come. His entire body felt like it was being stabbed with a thousand knives.
Xenia on the other hand felt the same sensations but reveled in it with a pained smile. She stood up to grab another balloon and placed it on his lap. She then hovered over the balloon and began to bounce on it smiling at him through the pain she felt. She bounced up and down playfully until finally the balloon went ‘POP!” and she slammed down onto his lap.
With the full dose reached, Arthur began to writhe in pain, and his eyes looked red with congested vessels. He clenched his teeth ever harder, and his veins all over his body were distended from his struggle as he screamed at the top of his lungs.
She stood from his lap with a grimace on her face as she could feel the full brunt of the pain too. However, Xenia welcomed the pain. She yelled, “I feel so alive! Pain mixed with pleasure! Yes!”
She began to strip out of her clothes until she was completely naked and said, “Now, the last thing I have to do is bounce up and down until you explode for me too.”
She grabbed the last two balloons in her hands and dug her long, sharp nails into them popping them both at the same time.
Arthur seemed to have lost his mind as his eyes rolled back and his muscles spasmed from the pain. However, Xenia fully enjoyed the rush as she was still able to move around fluidly despite the rush of immense pain. She sat on his lap inserting him into her and began to bounce up and down with her arms around on his shoulders and loosely around his neck.
Arthur writhed and flailed like a bucking bronco, and Xenia yelled, “That’s it! Fuck me! Thrash and jump against me! It feels so good baby!”
She held on for dear life as Arthur continued to thrash his entire body against hers as he battled the immense and overwhelming pain his body experienced.
Meanwhile, the immense and overwhelming pain Xenia felt along with the bucking of his hard, crazed, and tortured body inside of her drove her wild with passion and pleasure. She moaned at the top of her lungs and shoved her big boobs into his face as she wrapped her arms around his head and held onto him tightly.
She then held his head up forcing him to look at her as they both neared orgasm. Arthur’s sclera of his eyes were red from numerous small vessels that had ruptured, and his intense pain resulted in a skyrocketing blood pressure which ultimately resulted in a hypertensive stroke with his motor control beginning to wane as a result.
Xenia began to fuck him harder and faster going up and down until he finally exploded inside of her amazingly through all of the pain. She yelled, “Yes! Oh my God! Yes, Arthur! You’re cumming for me! You want me even despite all the pain!”
She continued to ride him through his orgasm until after several minutes her body began to clear the Compound X from her respiratory and cardiovascular systems. With a clear, post-orgasm mind and absence of pain, she looked down to see Arthur. He was a shadow of himself as he convulsed in seizure and displayed poor motor control and a drooping face from his stroke.
She laughed at him and softly slapped his face, “Okay, darling. I’ve had my fun.” She stood from his lap sliding him out of her and stood before him naked as she gathered a ball of healing ki that she imparted to him. As the ki healed Arthur, he slowly came back to his usual mental and physical facilities.
He shook his head and said, “Whoa that was intense. Forgive me, Xenia, but I am not sure I can ever do that again. It was truly terrifying.” He looked with wide eyes at her as he thought, “No human should ever have to experience that. We cannot use this in war.”
Xenia put her hands on her hips and with a half-smile said, “You’ll do it when I tell you to do it Arthur. Is that clear?”
He gulped and said, “Yes mistress.”
She smiled at him in full, “Good boy.” She began to dress herself and said, “Now that I have tried it twice, I think it is time to try it on my enemies. They will feel the exact same intense pain. Just without the mind-blowing sex. What a pure way to go.”
After dressing, she bent down to untie Arthur and told him, “I know this exceeds your tolerance. And I know you would never do such a thing in war. However, I fully plan to. I plan to do it today in fact with a battalion of men we captured. Will this be too much for you? Or can I still count on you Arthur?”
Arthur nodded, “You can still count on me Xenia.”
She smiled and said, “Good. Now run along back to your wife and kids. I have some men to kill with my new favorite toy.”
Arthur watched her walk out of the room in her all-black leather outfit and thought to himself, “How did I end up on the side of history’s cruelest war criminal? Do I stay the course or… No. I have no choice. I stay the course, or I jeopardize everything I love… family and state.
