Rantings, Writings, and Reflections
The sunset came quietly to Santificado. Darkness set in quickly over the sandy slums of Vatic. The lights of Sanctum’s nightlife mimicked a distant, electric sunset behind the wall that separated the two cities. If the silence of Vatic in the night were any indication, one would assume that the slums were a serene and peaceful place.
“So, this is the plan, then?” Veronica asked, staring down at the large paper on the table. There was a crude, blueprint-like sketch of a building on the paper with various points circled and dotted throughout the plan.

She rolled over to her side, looking at the clock beside her bed, noting that it was already mid-afternoon, “Nox must be in Vatic by now…” She muttered to herself with a yawn.

The bounce of the carriage as it moved over the stone roads of Sanctum. The sound of its wooden wheels as it met stone after stone.

Lucius hated all of this, but more than anything, the damned sunlight that Shani insisted on letting through the windows of Lucius’ carriage.
On the roof of the club, Autumn had just found herself a booth to sit at in the hookah lounge area. With a heavy sigh, she fell onto the couch of the enclosure and leaned her head back, closing her eyes. Her dress was neatly on her body again, but she made no effort to cover up the love bites that trailed her neck, nor the fact that her long, blonde hair was now in a messy ponytail.

The Amethyst Club was Lucius’ pride and joy. A beautiful, black marble structure built in one of the most central areas of Sanctum, the capital city of the nation of Santificado. He spared no expense in the construction of this beautiful tourist attraction and favorite party spot of the locals.
How was she so lucky? Sure, she was beautiful, and sought after by many men, but how could this blonde bombshell have been so fortunate to land herself a guy like the infamous Lucius Tyrus Nox? He was tall, muscular, mysterious, and so damn handsome.
