Power… is negotiated.” The library fell into absolute stillness. That answer wasn’t something a girl in her position was supposed to deliver with such calm certainty. Old Master Shore tapped his cane again—slow, thoughtful. “And which do you intend to have?” “Power.” No hesitation. No apology. Just steel. He watched her. Then, after a long beat, he gave a single nod. “Quite ambitious.”

Jacob stated. “How is that so? I thought it was only females who received powers?” I asked, confused. Jacob cleared his throat, “In rare occasions we will have men acquire certain powers. Where we did not realize there was a son born, it never occurred to me to share that information,” he admitted.

"Do you think Henry can take over and support everything after Elder Master Dryson leaves us?" "I think he can," Albus said. "Great. I shall look forward to his actions." Frederick sighed. He looked down when he thought of Shane again. Powerful masters like Shane had the ability to mobilize any power in the world. No one could defeat him unless they found an opportunity to kill him with a bomb. However, Shane would never give anyone such an opportunity to do so.

Her aswer was the one any reasonable person could give. "There's no battle in this world faught without money and power sweetheart. Haven't you heard that money makes the world go round?". "So what you're saying is you provide him with the funds and everything needed for his campaign and in exchange..?" She asked beginging to get the hang of it. "It's simple, he makes sure my business doesn't face any problems". Cesare replied impressed by her reasoning skills. She very well understood why he said there were people more powerful than the President because the Mafias are the one's who really run the show behind closed doors. They had the power to remove them from their positions at any cost.

Once you have power, you feel bolder to do whatever you want and whatever you believe is right. Often, they stop thinking about who might be affected or hurt. They become irresponsible and ignore everyone just because they assume they can do anything as long as they hold power. "That is the exact way you're feeling right now, Elaine. Just because you discovered you have powers, you think you can do anything." "Huh? But I don't have any bad plans or intentions," I replied. "I don't care what your intentions are. The law is the law, and it was created to protect everyone and keep the society we live in orderly. I hope you always remember that."

"We both know you can’t afford to lose it." Silence. But I could hear his breathing—uneven, frustrated. "Then don’t make me lose it," he finally said.

Luna Zeve has publicly come out with the powers she possesses and also has frequently displayed it in front of the world. She had powers that no werewolf or vampire in this world possess. She is the only one with the greatest power in her control at the moment. Thus, we, as the representatives of all religions across the world, have come together. W

Author's POV Power rarely announced itself with fireworks. Most of the time, it crept in quietly, through policies, signatures, quiet meetings in glass rooms where no one raised their voice but every word weighed a ton. And Senator Isla Hart was becoming very powerful. Not the kind of power that demanded attention. The kind that made people uncomfortable only once they realized it was already too late.

“That’s your pitch?” “No,” he said, leaning forward slightly. “This is: I’m offering you the chance at Power,” he said quietly. “Real power.” I took a sip of my whiskey. “Not the kind that sits behind glass walls and boardrooms,” he continued. “The kind that shapes policies, controls a city, and decides outcomes.” “And what makes you think I need any of that?” I asked calmly. “I think,” he said carefully, “that you already operate like a man who should have it.
