Erik once again opened his eyes, but this time he did not have to block the sunlight from his eyes because he found himself within Sigurds' Infirmary. An apprentice had noticed and quickly exited the room and returned with Sigurd.
"Erik, you are awake and that makes me so happy. I thought that you had perished when we found you and did not know what to do. The whole empire is in panic and disarray." said Sigurd.
"How long was I out to cause this disarray Sigurd." Erik softly spoke.
"Sir, you were out for two entire weeks. We had to force feed you soup to keep you alive. While all this was happening all construction stopped and everyone stayed at home and prepared for the worst." spoke Sigurd.
"Well I am fine thanks to your Medical Tactics and I give you thanks for keeping me alive but I need you to go to the Empire center and announce a meeting by ringing the town bell. I believe it is time to discuss who I really am and why I am here." stated Erik.
"Who you really are? Are you sure you're fine Erik?" asked Sigurd.
"Yes I am really fine and it shall be explained. Now make haste and don't ponder on it too much." Erik said softly.
Sigurd nodded his head and quickly ran out of the clinic and began to rush towards the Empire center.
As Sigurd rushed towards the town center, Erik got up from the bed and began getting dressed and walked over towards the window and let himself slip away into his memories of the Praxxon War from the Mars colony being destroyed to his comrades in arms perishing to save him. Then, finally the planetary orbital cannon vaporizing the Praxxon Homeworld.
Erik suddenly snapped back to reality when he heard the first strike of the bell.
``VICKI how long until the Wolf Clan Arrive?" asked Erik.
{The Wolf Clan should arrive in eight hours sir.}
EIGHT HOURS IS ABSURD I really have to talk to the embodiment after this about putting me out of commission for two weeks Erik thought to himself.
==The Empire of Phoenix Capital Square==
As Erik walked towards the Podium he was met with cheers from the hundreds of people awaiting his arrival. He looked upwards towards the sky and the clouds overhead looked as if they were about to let loose a volley of rainfall. Erik saw this as a divine entity who had plans to stop him from exposing it.
Erik firmly stepped onto the podium and cleared his throat while the entire crowd of people fell into an disturbingly eerie silence.
"Good afternoon people of The Empire of the Phoenix as you all can see I am alive and well but while I was unconscious I heard that you all stopped working. That was a kind gesture but how will this Empire work when I have passed and am no longer of this world." exclaimed Erik.
Everyone all around began to silently whisper among themselves. Until someone yelled "THE GREAT JARL KING ERIK SHALL LIVE FOREVER."
Which sent the entire crowd of people into cheers and praise all screaming Long Live Phoenix King Jarl.
Erik visually facepalmed and began to say
"Alright everyone calm down it brings me a great amount of joy that you all believe in me so much but time to get down to the main topic of this meeting."
With that the entire crowd once again fell so silent that if someone were to pass gas everyone would hear it.
"I am not Originally from this world. I actually am a god sent being. I come from a planet not too different from this one and I was sent to advance this world to make it as advanced as the world came from.
