Yesterday morning, on the day of the welcoming celebration for the Hero of Darkness...
The morning dew set upon the aromatic flowers of the grand garden located in the imperial palace glistened with a vibrant hue. The fresh air brought life to the usually melancholic atmosphere of the palace.
Just the night before, the long slumbering emperor had awoken, and in the confines of his trusted people, he chose his successor.
Oedipus Nox Luvian, the Emperor of the Imperial Faction, one of the 3 core forces of the hidden Abyss Empire, still held that title.
In reality, it was a mere title based on the old monarchy hierarchy that no longer held actual weight behind it.
But people still followed it as part of the customs of the empire and showed respect for the history of the empire.
And this morning... the Emperor awoke again, and this time, he felt the weight of his responsibilities finally lifting.
