"Now that everyone is here," Nyx began, "this meeting will officially begin. As you all know, we're here to assign roles in our new kingdom."
Her eyes passed over the familiar faces — Nathan, Eve, the Ant King and Queen, Jack, Serena, Hans, Elvin, Gordon, Aina, and the others who had played crucial roles in the former barony.
Some hands twitched with nervous energy, and more than a few hearts pounded wildly. The positions about to be announced would determine their standing and duties in the Cromwell Kingdom.
