Description

Fans of The Harem Games, the long awaited sequel has arrived. The Anointed Prophetess begins where The Harem Games ended. The action, in all senses of the word, is far more intense. Not only does Alex have to deal with the affections of more brides, but the threat against his family is far greater. Now instead of amateurs with delusions of grandeur, he must face soldiers armed with high grade military gear and tactics, high level propaganda with the media in collusion, and a reluctant army of convicted criminals on his side. Unfortunately for his enemies, threatening his family is the quickest way to earn his wrath, and as we saw in the Games, his wrath can shake the heavens, literally. This is no game, this is war! Complicated plots, shadowy conspiracies, and brutal combat all precede the truth about the outbreak that nearly brought mankind to extinction, and the response of the survivors, and their descendants.

Prologue
The Story So Far...
Alex Dolorean has won the Harem Games. He has wished for the Games to end, permanently, to fulfill the last request of his closest friend, Tendo Akaneda. All 12 of the girls married to him as a result of the Games have publicly declared their love and their desire to remain with him forever. He has even been awarded a wonderful place for all of them to live, thanks to an ancient living will on behalf of Martufe O’oharra, the caretaker of the arenas. This should have been a day to celebrate.
Instead, it has been a day of near tragedy and atrocity as the Matriarchy has not only turned on one of their own, for actually doing her job and carrying out their promise to return Alex’s mother to him, but has sent orders to kill Alex, his brides, and everyone in the arena for the express purpose of not granting his wish.
Unfortunately for them, Alex may be meek, but he is not weak. He is not the kind of man to just lie down and die. He’s seeing this outrage as an act of war, and he’s making preparations to take the war to them. He intends to forcefully make them and their “Elites” aware that they are NOT goddesses, and that there are consequences for bad behavior. The first thing he’s doing is going to rescue the family of Former Matriarch Arcadia Eldorado. He has taken on a smaller version of his “dragon” form and flown like the wind in the direction of Eldorado’s home.
Reporter: “It’s sheer pandemonium here at the Games arena. Armed and armored assailants have attempted to assassinate the Matriarch in attendance and the winner of the Games, Alex Dolorean, who has just flown out of here as a steel-clad dragon!”
The transmission captured by Okabashi is replayed and broadcast.
Reporter: “Can that be the voice of the Matriarchy? Do they, for the first time ever, TRULY wish to completely disregard the WISH in violation of their own rules, and are willing to murder purely for that purpose? Wait! Four hover cars have just left the arena! Can it be that the Matriarch is evacuating? Or is there something else in the works going on here? This just in. One of our helicopter reporters is engaged in a conversation with Alex Dolorean directly! We’re switching over now!” (It’s signaled that she is off the air.) “Pulitzer here we come! Oh this is big!”
Scene changes to the conversation being videotaped and broadcast between the pilot of the news helicopter and Alex Dolorean.
Alex: “Do you have weapons on this vehicle?”
Chapter One
Pilot: “NO! This is purely a news helicopter.”
Alex: “Then I cannot guarantee your safety. I am heading into a possible combat zone with the Elite!”
Alex is heading towards the family home of Arcadia Eldorado with a news copter in tow, hoping to get there and rescue the Eldorado family before the Elite arrives but fully prepared for battle if need be.
Reporter: “Combat zone? With the Elite? What is this about?”
Alex: “I have received word on good authority that the Matriarchy’s Elite is going to attack the family of the Matriarch who attended the awards ceremony. I intend to evacuate the Eldorado family, or if need be stop the Elite.”
Reporter: “Can you at the studio hear this?! Alex Dolorean has just claimed that the Matriarchy Elite may be targeting the Eldorado family home!”
Alex taps the helicopter’s window and points at the Eldorado home. Sure enough, a tank column with “Elite” markings is approaching the residence.
Reporter: “Ladies of the audience, and you gentlemen who can watch, we now have visual confirmation that the Elite are indeed headed towards the Eldorado house, and what’s this, they’re opening fire on a known civilian dwelling!
“One of the tanks has blown open the gate and an armored personnel carrier (APC) runs around the tank onto the property, the armed troops inside swarm out and begin firing at the residents, killing indiscriminately! They’ve got the children cornered! By the Goddess! They’re going to gun down innocent, helpless children! I’m getting a word from the pilot… Combat helicopters are en route, and they are challenging us! We can’t stay on the scene. We’ve been painted with a target lock. If this is our last broadcast, know that the Matriarchy has traded the lace glove of worship for the iron fist of tyranny. This is… (Loss of signal).”
Random Elite Troop: “Hehehe! Looks like the little piggies are all lined up in a row. This little piggy went to a party. This little piggy stayed home. This little piggy went wee, wee, wee all over her shoes!”
Captain: “HAHA! That’s a good one. Waste them, and let’s go home. I’m through with this milk run!”
Troop: “Say good night, piggies!”
Alex: “Good night, PIGGIES!” Alex lands right on the trooper, crushing her into a bloody paste. “GREEEARRRGGHH!!! You ‘Elites’ seem to be real good at attacking helpless women and children. I wonder how you will fare against someone that can actually fight back! Sure, you’ve got the numbers, you’ve got the gear, but I actually have experience fighting ARMED opponents who were trying to kill me.
“Do you wish to surrender now? I’ll only grant you one chance, and these children are now under MY protection.”
Tank Trooper: “What?! We know who you are. Are you going to cry to ‘mommy’ again like when we took that vicious little bitch four years ago?”
Captain: “YOU FLAKING IDIOT! YOU said ‘THAT’ to HIM?!”
Alex’s eyes narrow harshly, and he stops as if he was just reminded of something VERY important. “YOU! NOW it all makes sense. So you clowns played with my mind, eh? Guess this means you don’t want to live after all. Children, get down, close your eyes, and cover your ears. You are not going to want to see or hear what happens next.”
The children do as they are told, and moments later the tank which had that loud-mouthed idiot just explodes.
“Shit! He just blew up the shells inside the tank!”
Alex: “Despair as your sins are blown away!”
A tornado blows the APC out of the lot, down the tank column, and crashes the two combat helicopters that had target-painted the news helicopter and were actively jamming the signal. Their rocket ammunition explodes on impact with the ground-killing everyone inside the helicopters and inside the tanks they crashed on. Unbeknownst to Alex, the children are watching with awe on their faces.
One of the nearest tanks begins turning its cannon on Alex.
Alex: “BEGONE!”
A lightning bolt hits the tank, frying everyone inside. “GHWAAA!!”
Even though the road is asphalt, the earth beneath it is not. The road and the tank column on it are swallowed by a huge sinkhole that suddenly appears beneath them. Now completely helpless, all the tank pilots beg for mercy. “Hmm. Begging for mercy didn’t help YOUR victims much, did it?” All forms of screaming, wailing, and gnashing of teeth precede their fall as the sinkhole turns into a chasm which turns into a bottomless pit that inevitably became their unmarked tomb. Alex turns to the lone survivor of this assault force, the captain.
Alex: “I have some questions for you, well actually only one question, for now. What exactly happened to my sister after you took her away four years ago?”
Captain: “Please, they’ll kill my family!”
Alex: “You should have thought about THAT before you laughed as your troops put a gun to the heads of these children.”
The captain realizes that begging for pity now is pointless and answers the question. “I was told to take her to an experimental facility, and was forced to watch as she was experimented on. When they found out she didn’t inherit Martufe’s invulnerability, they had me mind-wipe her to believe that her mother abandoned her and then had her thrown into the streets as trash. I don’t know what happened to her after that.”
Alex: “If you died in battle, will they still go after your family?”
Captain: “No. They shouldn’t. They never have before.”
Alex: “In that case, this is the only mercy I’ll grant you, for THEIR sake. I’ll make it quick, and painless.”
Captain: “Thank you.” <CRACK> Alex breaks the captain’s neck, the same way he did with Mercedes Oberhorn in the Games.
Alex: “Alright, children. We’re going to see your mother.”
Children: “THAT WAS COOL!” Child #1: “But we’re not going with you!” Child #2: “How do we know Mommy sent you?” Child #3: “Yeah! What’s the password?!”
Alex: “Smart kids. Your mom trained you well. Let’s see, pumpkin. The mint flew over the moon alongside the lettuce landing in the pudding coated with strawberry made by Zakuro. Nya!” (Alex makes a pose like a cat about to lick its paws.)
Children: “MOMMY!”
Reporter: “UNBELIEVABLE! Alex Dolorean has just shown that the ‘Games’ was not just CG! He single-handedly destroyed the entire attacking force! Here he comes now.”
Alex: “I need a favor. Can you take these children and me to the arena training center? I don’t want to risk another flight after what just happene
