Wayward Prince
"The Archons huddled in the small damp room, nervous of what consequences would come from the latest defeat. House Mhoire had managed to recruit the aid of many strong warriors who had no fear of stepping into His Eternal Splendor’s hidden refuges. In a series of defeats every one of Geraine’s hosts had been systematically destroyed. The others looked to Saelar to speak first.
“The hosts have been destroyed master. It appears Mhoire has many allies.”
A weakened voice flowed softly out of the darkness, “I know. The pain is sharp when a bond is destroyed.”
Silence filled the room once more, as the Archons feared ending up on the wrong side of Geraine’s wrath. He had seemed to be on edge with the latest conflict, his powers challenged for the first time in millennia.
“The failure was surprisingly… pleasant.” The Archons were unsure of what to make from such a statement. Their lord had little patience for incompetence and failure. This was the same being who had corrupted an entire kingdom for speaking out against him, the one who had manipulated time to ensure success thousands of years in the future.
“Emperor?” Saelar questioned meekly.
