'"Defense is the planning of an attack" Abdullah nodded a slight smile on his lips. 'The Art of War by Sun Tzu,' he said. 'Impressive.'

“I’ll be back in thirty minutes. I’m going to shower, then get my schedule and some books. Maybe we can look through them and see what's in store for us. Yorick and I spend the afternoon going through our schedule. “I’ve never considered war an art,” I say, looking at the class titles Art of War. “Many do though,” Yorick says, flipping through his book. “There are lots of books on it.” I'm sitting on the small couch in my room. He'd pulled up a chair, pulling my legs over his lap. As we’ve talked and gone through our course schedule, his fingers had been gently running up and down my legs, periodically rubbing my feet as we talk. At some point, he’d extended his legs to the couch and I start

The chamber was circular, vast, with walls covered in maps and charts and diagrams that seemed to shift and change when you weren't looking directly at them, like they had minds of their own. The ceiling disappeared into darkness so complete it felt like the void itself was watching us from above. And in the center of it all stood a massive three-dimensional projection—a holographic map of the entire Soul Recycle Program system, each world rendered in perfect detail, floating in space like miniature planets in a twisted solar system.

VITTORIA’S POV Three days before the wedding, I was sitting in the library. Not hiding. Not lurking. Sitting, comfortably, curled into one of the leather lounge chairs with a book resting open in my hands. The Art of War. Sun Tzu had lived and died long before men like Nikolai De Luca ever learned to call themselves kings, but strategy never aged. Power never changed. Only the pieces on the board did. I liked ancient warfare texts. They were honest. They didn’t pretend victory came from morality or mercy. They understood what most people refused to admit, wars were won before the first blow was struck.

Joel advised. "You know I would have done that, Doc, but trying to tell a group of men who have seen the effects of war and lived with it for a long time what to do? Will that sit well with them? I don't want to sound too bossy or anything," John said. "It's either that or we hope that one day your arms don't go permanently to sleep," Joel[1] [2] said sternly. "Okay. Okay."

I would have said yes anyway. The war library sat three levels under the observatory, a long vault of oak tables and iron shelves that smelled of dust, lamp oil, and wolf. Maps of every pack from Murmansk to the Black Sea hung on the walls like flayed skins. Vaelin set three things in front of me. A treatise on shifter treaties bound in dark hide. A set of campaign charts marked in his own hand. A thinner book whose cover was not leather. It was something that had once been alive. “Politics first,” he said. “Then how men die for those politics. Then the language that makes the dying mean something.”

Vossler glanced back at me and followed my eyes. "Oh these old things are for our kind and the vampire to remember how far we have come together. They are depictions of the blood wars. The mess was a horrible ordeal, families fought against each other and mates too," He said solemnly. I nodded my head as I swallowed uncomfortably. Seeing the details look so lifelike was unnerving. "The artist certainly got every detail," I muttered. Vossler chuckled and said he would let her know. I inhaled in shock.

Marcus said as he looked at the crown stored in a chest about to be carried by the warriors. "It's not meant for him to wear, Marcus. Initially, it's just an artifact that will serve perfectly as decoration," Lyra said, also admiring the crown. She really liked how it turned out. "I hope you can carry this through the forest with wisdom. Remember, we are currently the only ones who want this to succeed—peace. So, if there's any attempt of an attack, you must defend it with your lives if necessary, as peace is what matters," the wise elder said, seemingly indifferent to the lives of the people who would be carrying the crown.
