"The Dark General they called you"
Cedric made a hmm sound.
"I haven't heard that name in years," he said as if reminiscing a lost past.
The Dark General? a name they called him? the mere name sent chills down my spine, I wondered why they called him that.
"Beowulf, what news do you have for me?"
When my eyes finally caught notice of the black wolf beside him, bigger than the actual size, I swallowed a breath in shock.
What in god's name was a wolf doing here? Within the Castle walls? How did it get in?
"The Emperor's health is diminishing"
The wolf could talk, was that even possible? An animal could talk, I knew the world was strange with all magical beings but I didn't imagine a wolf itself.
Wait... did it just mention the Emperor? Was the Emperor sick?
"As expected, humans are always such fragile beings, he has carried too much for his age to bear"
