Regulation and statute are the shackles only meant for a poor man. No such bindings exist for a man of hierarchy, a man of class, a man of stature. For a man of wealth, nothing stands in the path of him and the pleasures intertwined in the depths of hell. Society has become a structural entity balanced along a materialistic item regarded as the highest standard in life: money. It’s so strange that in the main scheme of life such a measly piece of paper has defined the modern day aristocrats. But if only the rich man is given access to the vanities entailed in life, what of the lost soul that presides over the ruling elite? Who would truly be lunitistic enough to reign over hell? Surely to put on the facade of a king he must have the attraction of his following. His mere presence provides men in the room envious emotions as they watch their women flaunt in admiration and desire?

Despite displaying the physique of an Egyptian pharaoh, the true effectiveness of Nathaniel’s advancement in 21st century prestige was his impeccable psyche. Not only did King’s intelligence reign supreme, rendering his competitors in the business realm with feelings of barbarism after an opinionated discussion, but his perspective and evaluation of the human persona became the differentiating characteristic of a king. His analyzation of stereotypes in the wakes of life present opportunities to predict reactions of pedestrians in scenarios. To society it appeared almost as if King were a deity able to make immaculate decisions as if he could predict a person’s next move, leaving them in awe. In addition to the gifted acumen and deduction Nathaniel possess the most useful attribute in King’s mental palace was the character that resonated within him: an aching desire to surpass a father who modeled the man Nathaniel aspired to best as well as the unfathomable need to leave a legacy in the midst of his departure from his eventual throne. These mentalities in their own right architected a young invisible adolescent into not only a self-made aristocrat but an advocate rivaling Lucifer himself.

In doing so Nathaniel King became hopelessly, utterly lost to the somber depths of misery, with no shimmering hope of escape. That is, until she came along. With hair as golden as her smile, grey eyes that eliminated the gray in Nathaniel's life with a mere glance, and a voice that induced a therapeutic trance provoking the light to shine out in the bleak world inhabited, Brooke Mason was a spectacle to behold. With hardships and struggles of her own, in efforts of feeling sought after succumbing to frequent sexual relations that have warranted society to label her as a fallen woman, instead of wallowing in self-pity of past shortcomings she saw the potential in others and remained one of the most compassionate human beings there was. Slowly but surely she did just that and in the midst of oblivion became a beacon of light for a man blinded by darkness.
