"Power is a rush. I want you to dominate me." ***** They had secrets. I was in dilemma until they came to visit our kingdom. The sons of Nithilorc made themselves of nothing, the mysterious, handsome men, desired by women in distinct realms. Evil secrets they held inside themselves and my captors were well known across realms, not only for their incalculable wealth but their cruel and malicious acts also.
