《Aris Cretu》Chapter 25: Classified
Advertisement
Aris grinned at Lord Wavethunder, "Any brute can knock on a door. What do you want us to poke into first?"
Lord Wavethunder frowned, "Elfyr dropped out of contact. He was following a lead on a snake cult operating on the edges of Cencin lands."
Aris' mind whirled, "Whoo boy, right into the rat's nest. Yarizos is already untrustworthy, so he's an unknown factor. If he's part of the cult, he's already working with them. If he's not part of the cult, he might have gone after Elfyr for his own reasons."
The King and Queen stared at Aris intently. Lord Wavethunder leaned back in his chair, "So what's your plan?"
"I'm going to talk to Yarizos."
The butler at the door took one look at Aris' uniform and the dire look on Talae's face and got out of the way.
Aris nodded curtly, "Thank you. Lord Cencin is in his study I assume?"
The butler nodded furiously, "Yes he is. This way Master Cretu."
Aris nodded and followed the butler.
Yarizos was understandably furious. "What have you done with my Daughter?"
Talae bristled, but leaned against the doorframe.
Aris simply stood his ground and raised one eyebrow. "Interesting. In every letter you sent, she was 'Lady Cencin', but now that she's outside your reach, she's your daughter."
Yarizos huffed smoke, "Of course she's my daughter! And you can forget the 'good Agent, bad Agent' act, I've seen it before."
Aris didn't even blink. "What makes you think I'm the good Agent Yarizos?"
Yarizos sneered, "Of course you are the good Agent 'Master' Cretu. Everyone knows what Dark Elves are like!"
Aris gave a lazy grin, "Agent Telena is here for the express purpose of making sure you survive this meeting."

Yarizos stopped sneering, "Why are you here?"
Aris didn't stop grinning, "Lord Cencin; this your formal notification, as required by the laws of Althiem, that Agents are conducting independent investigations on your lands."
Yarizos nodded, constrained in his responses by the sudden formality of the exchange, "As the Lord whose lands these are, may I know what matters are being investigated?"
Aris turned to leave, "That's classified."

The Complete Alchemyst book 2
Continuation of the Alchemyst book 1 Sometimes to be the good guy, you gotta be the bad guy. This is a story about Louis, a guy that was just trying to get along before he got kidnapped and forced to play cook by a Cartel. He's no Heisenberg, however. Now that he's out of Prison and put a beat down on some of the folks that put him away, he's facing the real pressures of Life as a single-person superpower: Everyone wants to use him for their own purposes. Along the way he's met a few girls, some good, some bad. He's looking to save the world, establish an evil empire, secure a future for the people he considers his, and maybe finally kill that damned superhero that started it all. This is not 'the boys'. Not all superheroes or supervillains are evil, The 'super' world is expanding to include aliens, magic, and the children of ancient deities and legends. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate.
