Alpha Conri bolted through the stairs, his excitement to see his people again and the nervousness built up within his system. He was thinking of the lost times that he should have served the people better and not fallen into the tricks and scheming of Kalim.
The Alpha shook his head and tried his best to avoid thinking and remembering the past. The only thing that he could do is to fill the gap that he caused and be a better king to his citizens.
Drowned in his thoughts, he did not notice that he was already at the bottom of the stairs. Alpha Conri then rushed to the door, opening it. There he saw the crowd of people covered in blood and dirt had been glued to their skin. Their eyes were also pale and almost dead while looking at the Alpha looking still somewhat decent. He could not believe that his people are looking really different after all these years.
"What… happened to all of you?" He asked them in his faint voice.
