At the northern edge of the map, someone had circled a spot heavily in vivid red ink, with detailed coordinates and an estimated distance marked beside it. "Roughly two thousand kilometers southeast of Crucible City." Desmond pushed his glasses up, his tone turning serious. "I pulled this fabric off a mummified corpse in a collapsed underground ruin. The writing on it is extremely old. It took a lot of effort to decode even part of it." "I'm not even certain there's actually a blueprint there. No one's ever reported obtaining a Level 2 Specialization upgrade blueprint before. It would be a genuinely rare find." Desmond let out a wry laugh, pushing his glasses up again.

He knew that he was ready, that he was going to face his brother with all his might and come out victorious. The time had come for the fight, and he led his ferals to the arena, his heart beating furiously with excitement and anticipation. He knew that this was the moment that would define his destiny, and he was ready to face it head-on. The sounds of people shouting, vendors calling out their wares, and animals growling filled the air. The colosseum was a massive structure, with walls that towered high into the sky. It was circular in shape, with rows and rows of seats that rose up towards the top of the walls. The seats were already filled with spectators, and the noise level was deafenin

'' The man sighs, ''Well this is the famous arena of death. ''Measuring some 620 by 513 feet, the Colosseum was the largest amphitheater in the Roman world. Unlike many earlier amphitheaters, which had been dug into hillsides to provide adequate support, the Colosseum was a freestanding structure made of stone and concrete. The distinctive exterior had three stories of arched entrances—a total of around 80—supported by semi-circular columns. Each story contained columns of a different order (or style): At the bottom were columns of the relatively simple Doric order, followed by Ionic and topped by the ornate Corinthian order. Located just near the main entrance to the Colosseum was the Arch

I pulled up the city archives on my tablet, my fingers flying across the screen. “The modern blueprints won’t be enough,” I said, looking up at them. “They’ll only show the main structure. Cassian would have fortified that. But the original 1920s construction plans…” I zoomed in on a faded, hand-drawn schematic. “You're seeing this as a fortress to be sieged. I'm seeing it as a historical document full of secrets.”

He said, and I nodded my head. We materialized in front of a large structure that looked hundreds of years old. It was dusk and the structure was lit with accent lighting from below. There were people bustling about and I was surprised to see how many of them stopped to admire Rowen. I mean literally just stopped walking to look at him. “This is the Colosseum, It’s the largest ancient amphitheater ever built. This is a very important landmark here in Rome.” Rowen said, ignoring the stares of the townspeople.

And for the first time in centuries, two different heirs were preparing to return to it. At Blackstone The War Room had transformed overnight with the scattered notes from the previous weeks were already cleaned and placed in a box. The countless theories and uncertainties had also been erased. Now, every board displayed only one subject. VALTIERI ESTATE The enormous blueprint occupied the center of the room and beside it lay enlarged photographs of the gardens, every courtyard, terraces and pathways. The four prehistoric stone sculptures Nicholas had unknowingly identified. The ceremonial fountain. The western cloister. Every alteration Alessandro had commissioned during the last thirty yea

"So, perfect." "Yeah," I breathed. "Perfect. Just like he said." Kate gave me a gentle nudge. "He’s in the study." It was almost like she had read my mind. I found Nikolai at his desk, flipping through a binder of parchments. He glanced up as I walked in, his sharp gaze softening immediately. "You’re back." I nodded, walking over toa his desk. “How did it go?” “Site visit went well. Veneto walked us through the blueprints again. The courtyard will have a central open-air theater, and the residential towers are being modeled after the Crescent layout."

The bus pulled to a stop and Layla and her fellow college mates filed off of the bus. "Oh my god! I can't believe we are actually in Rome!" Mia squealed, grabbing her friend's arm. Layla smiled at Mia's enthusiasm, feeling her own excitement bubble through her. Layla brushed her auburn hair from her hazel eyes and looked down the streets of the Celio district. In the distance she saw the world-famous Colosseum, looming over hundreds of tourists who bustled about the busy streets. It was a beautiful spring afternoon and a perfect day to go sightseeing.

It had torches that lit up the insides but Nik kept a tight hold on my hand anyways. When we reached the top, I looked over the arena and smiled. It was beautiful. The Coliseum was an open aired, ovoid shaped structure. It was three storey high. The seating area was formed of concentric rows of stands which were supported by arches built into the framework of the building. The common public was already seated there, talking amongst themselves.There were s total of six towers at regular distance which were a storey taller than the rest of the structure. We were on one of those towers so it meant that one tower was for each Kingdom and one was for the High Council.

Julian enunciated protect in such a way that he clearly meant something different. I cleared my throat. “What did you find?” He lifted the rolls of paper from under his arm. “Blueprints.” Mark and Charlotte cleared away the swatches of fabrics that still covered the tables we’d arranged in the center of the room to sew. Then Julian placed down one of the papers and unrolled it. It was large and meticulously drawn with a fine pen. It all looked like lines and boxes to me. “What are we looking at?” I asked. “This,” Julian waved his hand across it, “is the first floor of the palace. And if you’ll notice.” He tapped at one small box that was to indicate a room. “This blueprint includes some of t
