Tekkyon was seated at a wooden table across from his girlfriend, Chia.
They were having dinner. Steak, chopped potatoes, and asparagus. Served with a glass of wine.
Tekkyon leaned back and sipped his wine.
Chia looked up at him. "You haven't touched your food..."
"Not hungry."
Chia put down her fork. "What's on your mind?"
Tekkyon stared up at the ceiling. "I'm going to overthrow the empire."
Chia was in shock. "What?!" she exclaimed in a loud whisper. "Do you know what you just said?!"
"Yeah. I've been thinking about this for a long time. Nyx has sat on the throne for too long. She's gonna try and throw the world into chaos. I won't let such evil go free."
Chia looked down at her lap. "Can you really do that...?"
"Of course I can. I can do anything."
"Are you doing it alone...?"
Tekkyon looked out the window. "Someone's working with me."
"Overthrow the empire... that's actually crazy if you think about it."
