Upon further inspection of other floors, Virity discovered everyone on the spaceship is dead, except two people. A man and woman who were left untouched in the jail sector of the spaceship. To her shock, Virity discovers that Pathfinder 1511 is one of the criminals in a cryo chamber. She wakes him up needing to know why would he, an esteemed Pathfinder, would be on her spaceship confined and detained in the jail section. ⚠️ WARNING: In this short story Virity chooses to open the male's cryo chamber and will complete their storyline before rescuing the woman. Events and ending will not dramatically impact Virity's Pathfinder career, choices or her future. *The artwork we choose to use reflects sexual intimacy between Virity and Pathfinder 1511 who she is holding protectively in her arms.

As a Pathfinder, she was scheduled to wake up first so she could prep for the mission, gear up and make sure the spaceship was on the proper course and the route was safe to continue. to Virity's shock, she woke up before schedule and to a frightful sight. Everyone is dead on the spaceship, except two people. A woman and man who were left untouched in the jail sector of the spaceship. To her shock, Virity discovers that Pathfinder 1511 is one of the criminals in a cryo chamber. Prior to waking up Pathfinder 1511 and learning why he was on her spaceship, they took a escape pod off the spaceship and went down to the planet below to find a solution to their problems. Virity managed to contact a transportation ship and arranged for Pathfinder 1511 to be taken to outpost not far from the planet they were stranded on. Virity knew she needed to save the woman too, so she had the captain of the transportation ship return to her to the damaged spaceship and she woke up the woman. When the woman came out of her cryo sleep and met Virity for the first time, Virity learned the woman was from another universe she had never heard of. The woman explained she was from a large galaxy and was a native of the Armeton Solar System from planet Volcanis and was a envoy that was being escorted by Pathfinder 1511 to meet with important people on the planet Virity had just came up from. Virity believed what the woman told her, but she just couldn't understand why she, a highly regarded politician would be housed in the jail sector and not in the guest of honor sector of the spaceship. ⚠️ WARNING: In this short story Virity chooses to open the female's cryo chamber after completing her storyline with Pathfinder 1511. Events and ending will dramatically impact Virity's Pathfinder career, life changing choices and her future. *The artwork we choose to use reflects platonic intimacy between Virity and the woman she is holding protectively in her arms.

Happy 7th birthday to us! 🎂 Today marks the 7th anniversary of Anointed Works! Wow. We really did it. Has it really been seven years? No matter how many birthdays we celebrate, our 7th birthday is the most important and personal to us. Why is that? Because seven is powerful and a sacred number in the Book. It symbolizes perfection , completion and spiritual completeness . We can say without doubt, conviction or hesitation that our company has achieved these milestones (excluding perfection, for we are no longer in perfection, but must strive for perfection.) in Elohim's eyes. Everyone who remained and everyone who is still working so hard to build a respectful, notable reputation for our company, worked hard to get to this point. Some of us had internal battles, some had external battles and others faced both at the same time in different years of the company's establishment. The biggest enlightenment we learned last year was this: Success is learned in failure, acknowledgment is based on integrity, not popularity.   What do we mean by this? Once you are at the top and completed everything, there’s nothing left to do. There’s nothing left to learn or any mistakes to revisit that revealed where you need to improve and grow.  For seven years, we have stumbled and applied various methods for the company for all our departments.  Our policies are good, well written, but some of them needed more transparency and we needed to re-define how we do things here and what we expect of remote employees that are paid or not paid. In the first year, things were hard and unknown to us all. Not everyone in the company went to college and studied business like President Wilson had and not everyone understood the complexities of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), KSTOS (Kentucky Secretary Of State), DOR (Department Of Revenue) or the differences between a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization and a For-Profit Corporation. In case you aren’t familiar with the differences between these two types of entities, a FPC is a business that aims to generate a profit for its owners, employees and leaders. A NPO is a federal establishment in the United States according to IRS 26 U.S.C. § 501(c) and such organizations are exempt from some federal income taxes. Sections 503 through 505 sets the requirements for obtaining such exemptions. Many states refer to Section 501(c) for definitions of organizations exempt from state taxation as well. 501(c) organizations can receive unlimited contributions from individuals, corporations and unions. What’s Happened So Far When we first started out in 2018, we registered accidently as a For-Profit Corporation. Ironically we should have remained that way because we learned years later we had to switch from the Non-Profit back to For-Profit. So, what exactly happened? Originally President Wilson wanted to be registered as a Non-Profit because she truly and sincerely wanted give free content and free benefits to the consumer and our targeted audience she was called to serve. At no point did she want to charge people to read our works, but she didn’t realize the error she had selected on paper when she registered with the KSOS and the IRS was illegal and could result in us being dissolved and going to jail. Scary, but the Lord was protecting us for years and keeping that fate far away from our doorstep. From 2018-2023, no one in the government agencies who understood these matters explained the differences or consequences of operating as a Non-Profit without the seal from the IRS and the tax exemption seal, but that’s okay because later on she found a good CPA and was properly informed. He made the proper changes to switch in 2023 from Non-Profit to For-Profit Corporation. It's also good to note that we were housing Unaligned Academy, which was supposed to be our online ministry within this company. We had the online school, the syllabus and classroom criteria made opened the doors after three years of building and were excited to have a online non-accredited school--but then that didn't work out as planned. President Wilson was called to preach, teach and minister in 2013 and in 2021, the year we built the school on our website, was officially moved to its own website and we became the proud corporate parent of Unaligned Church LLC . During the years 2019-2020, President Wilson and the CEO Board were still trying to find a creative way to show people who we were, our mission as a Christian company an recruit faithful employees. People came and left on and off for various reasons, but in them doing this forced President Wilson to recess herself, the company policies just to make sure things weren’t off with herself or the purpose of her company. We, Anointed Works, exist to fight the secular demonic indoctrination in children and adult entertainment that to temps and encourages people to sin and break Elohim’s laws. To counter Hell’s false teachings effectively, Zion Studio, our art department, creates eBooks (novels and short stories) and uses Christian anime illustrations and AI digital artwork for the projects to draw in our readers. That sounds smooth now, but during the year of 2019 and 2023 our message was not being received by the pubic easily. Like any craft, we practiced over and over. President Wilson who operates our social media wound up taking everything down and making new posts and applying better organized content that circled around our narrative and decided certain platforms would showcase certain themes of the company. With the aid and support of the CEO Board, President Wilson revised sales pitches, marketing strategies and as our Webmaster, President Wilson re-vamped the website seven times (there’s that number again!) before she finally figured out what she wanted and how to creatively inform and show the public our passion. Project 2025: Play Before Work   Project 2025 is brought to you by a non-political party. Yes, you read that headline correctly. Anointed Works has a Project 2025 in store for ourselves and any newcomers to the company. It's our ultimate reward to ourselves for working so hard. Now, a before we go on, we want to clarify something due to recent tension in the world of politics. If you’re associated to a political party (Democrat Party, Republican Party, Independent Party, Constitution Party, Green Party, Libertarians and other Third Parties.) reading that headline this may come off as a insult or give you anxiety, but we assure you this is not the Project 2025 that was created to put the citizens (of either political party) against each other and President Trump. There is confirmation from the Biden-Harris Administration as well as the Trump Administration that Project 2025 was a hoax designed by a radical Democrat and President Trump had nothing to do with it. We didn’t state that to be political, we needed to verify that our Project 2025 is not associated to the hoax, a political party or a political agenda. Or Project 2025 is about focusing on specific external goals that will be met at the end of 2025. The goals we are happily looking forward to completing are: Hire a freelancer. Attend a BBB event. Update our policies. Update employee contracts. Find a means to build revenue. Enhance our social media platforms. Purchase business cards + card holders. Purchase a company number and iPhone 16. Purchase company shirts, zip up jackets, hats. Purchase equipment and décor for Studio office at HQ. Have CEO officers watch marketing  videos and attend webinars. Pray Elohim moves the examination lawyer to approve our trademark.   Every time we complete one of these goals, they will be cross out in this post and dated the day they were completed. Project 2025 is going to be amazing! It’s our year to grow, expand, learn and receive the blessings Elohim has in store for us and it’s a time bless each other. We’ve come a long way since our first year and since we’ve gotten to where we need to be, we relax, ease the reigns and enjoy the process rather than create one. Below is video of President Wilson expanding more on Project 2025 and revealing a few more surprises we have planned out for the VIP Club, our church company and Zion Studio! President Wilson discussing Project 2025. #AnointedWorks #AW #Birthday Copyright © 2025 Anointed Works

Zooming In On The Lost What is a focal point ? What does that mean and why do we care about it and want you to care about it? Well, a focal point means a few things depending on your profession in life, how you use the term and the purpose you assign for it. One of the known general definitions of this word means: "The point at which rays or waves meet after reflection or refraction or the point from which diverging rays or waves appear to proceed." Or, it can mean: The center of interest or activity. Companies, non-profit organizations, local communities drafting people for a cause of some kind, is a direct example of a focal point. Oh but wait, there is another definition of focal point for art that means: "A focal point is that area of a picture that attracts the eye. The viewer's eye is naturally drawn to areas where light and dark are in stark juxtaposition. Bright colors, fine detail, sharp edges, anomalies, patterns and any arrow-like “pointers” also attract the eye. " Below is a photo of colored pencils. There is a focal point present, something that is standing out and drawing your eye's attention to what is more important over everything else in the photo. You could say all the colored pencils are beautiful and should be admired and you are correct to think that. However, the photographer wanted to emphasize something for the viewer to see. The focal point in the photo is priority over everything else in the photo. Anointed Works and Zion Studio are applying this same tactic and redefining Christian entertainment for people. Rather then let them focus on loveable characters, graphics and plot twists, we're going to use Book truth to teach them about Elohim, emphasize Them over the everything in every production we create using the metaphor of colored pencils, understand that each colored pencil represents a different ministry in the world. Out of everything we have pushed at the company, Christian anime and meeting readers where they're struggling is the ultimate the focal point of our sales pitch because we know anime is affective, entertaining and depending on where a sinner is in their life, anime is their therapy. So why is that? Why is anime, compared to so many other outlets and expressions of entertainment, so influential and popular with people all over the world? The answer is simple. It is relatable and the characters in those fictional worlds are personal to the viewer and when something is personal, one will cling to it, for better or for worse. This is why our company choses to create a Christian anime and Christian content and not create a traditional or mainstream online community that has either been done already or is over used. Do not misunderstand what we are saying. If you're a Christian business owner and reading this and have a traditional ministry, like it or Elohim called you to do that, please know we salute you here at Anointed Works and thank you for obeying the Spirit or simply doing what you love. Traditional companies and ministries are needed no matter what era and are important and even more so needed if their founders of those companies and ministries are truly born again Christians. That is awesome and we are happy for our other siblings in Christ who labor in faith alongside of us. We however, were called to be untraditional and not follow those methods and we certainly told to avoid secular mainstream. We personally find it merely think it strange that the church communities (in our area of the world) will go forth to spread the gospel physically, but not fictitiously. There are lost people in fantasy too and that means a ministry has to be willing to go where the lost is. We were that ministry and happily do it. Anointed Works is very passionate to use Christian anime, eBooks, visual novels and other forms of creative a focal point for the sinners to zoom in on and as time goes by, we are very excited to see what Yahweh will do with this ministry. Will we become widely known like our late brother Billy Gram? Will we travel as a team and speak before large crowds like Joyce Meyer? Who knows. All we do know is that our Christian anime will be present and our most powerful tool we will use to attract the attention of our targeted audience. #AnointedWorks #AW #AWWorkspace Copyright © 2022 Anointed Works

But what about... love? Did falling in love with a Exhubus who just so happened to be a former follower of Raja Lagneía count as failing a mission?

All of the short stories that we create, of any genre we desire to use, will follow specific characters from a series. Short stories are designed to give our readers something to read while they wait for us to complete a series or wrap up a entire collection. Short stories are not to be confused with collections, but at the same time, our short stories have events and characters that will connect a reader to another series of various collections we have completed. What this means is, a short story is not the main focus nor will it have sequels or prequals to accompany it. Novels however, will always have a prequal or sequel and a variety of segments in a series that will make up its collection. For example, in Project Truth (Search For The Griffin), it is composed of six segments. Each segment is a series. Series 1, Series 2, Series 3, etc. This may not make sense to you, so we are going to provide a clear understanding of how short stories and novels are categorized within our writing framework at Zion Studio. Novels: These are extensive and ongoing works that are divided into segments. Each segment contributes to a series and when a series is fully developed, it can evolve into a collection. For instance, in Project Truth (Search For The Griffin), there are six segments, each representing a distinct series (Series 1, Series 2, etc.). Segments: These are the individual parts that make up a series within a novel. Each segment is a separate narrative that contributes to the overarching story of a character, several characters or events. Series: A collection of segments that collectively tell a larger story that references a character, group of characters or events. Once complete, a series can be compiled into a collection. Collections: These are the final products that emerge from a completed series, often bringing together multiple narratives or segments of one title. For example, Search For The Griffin , has Series 1 - Milieu, Series 2 - Trying Not To Chase Aria, Series 3 - Sidney University, Series 4 - Final Reality, Series 5 - Duenna: Griffin’s Chosen. All of these segments were from a single series that makes up the entire collection of Search For The Griffin. Short Stories: Unlike novels, these are standalone narratives that do not have segments of a series or evolve into collections. They are designed for simplicity and quick creation, providing readers with engaging content while longer works are in progress. Short stories focus on characters and events related to a established series from a collection, but do not lead to further developments or philosophical explorations--which are primarily used in collections. #ZionStudio #ZS #ShortStories Copyright © 2024 Zion Studio
