The room that she was in was nearly three times the size of the meeting room of the Phantoms back at Hati headquarters.

The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of rulers, that struck the people in wrath with unceasing blows, that ruled the nations in anger with unrelenting persecution. - Isaiah 14:5* * * *Dawn was just breaking over the horizon when Terror Island came into view.The island was very beautiful once upon a time, with silver sparkling white sand on the beaches, with several species of plant life growing on the island, and a gigantic mansion built on the island that could easily pass as a castle because of the size of it.The entire mansion was made out of solid white marble, fashioned after an ancient Victorian style mansion, with ivy growing on the walls, and with red roof tiles.There were also several fruit trees growing on the island, and there were many rabbits running wild. One could literally live on this island without having to go anywhere, as ther

Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning? - Psalm 22:1* * * *Things couldn’t get any worse for Hati.And as Yuri had predicted, Raven’s Gate wasn’t even halfway done with them yet.It was barely two weeks after that accursed video had found its way into the hands of the media, when Venar Enterprises or Raven’s Gate, started spreading rumours in Japan about Hati killing politicians under the orders of the government.Yuri had feared initially the backlash that would happen should the civilian populace find out about Hati’s existence.
