Saint Dul'Akharat was standing calmly atop the highest peak of the largest planet in one of the most prosperous Star Systems of the Central Galaxies, the Mountain of Skulls of the Linhasan Empire.
Of the five Central Galaxies, the Linhasan Empire had fared the worst.
Nearly the entire Royal Family had been infested by Shadow Parasites, and it was only due to the fact that the King of Linhasa was a powerful newly ascended Primal that he was free from infestation.
But even so, he had failed to prevent the complete annihilation of his standing army.
Led by the once in a millenial genius daughter of his, the Seventh Princess Elleanor Linhasa, the infestation had spread to almost half of his army, and they had instantly turned on the other half as soon as the Shadow Realm made their move.
Within hours, the infested half had completely destroyed the uninfested half, and were laying siege to the Grand Palace of Linhas, the Seat of Power for the Linhasan Empire.
