The Emperor entered the Temple, leaving the Shadow Guards stunned about his future. It was the first time they had seen the Emperor talk about his own death as if he was certain that it was going to happen.
The Shadow Guards were absolutely loyal to the Emperor who had led them for over a century.
Seeing him like this, all of them felt pain in their heart but even then, they followed the law of the land and didn't try to stop the Emperor. They only hoped that he was going to return safely.
Unaware about the concerns of his Shadow Guards, the Emperor entered the Temple, his eyes locating the majestic statue on the other end of the hall.
The Statue had eyes closed, looking just as intimidating as the past. However, something felt different about it.
As the Emperor stood before the statue, he didn't understand what this strange feeling was. But it was as if he could feel someone's presence inside the temple with him.
