"There's been a breach in the ranks," gulping in fear, Michael could no longer look into the emperor's eyes. Lowering his head, he continued. "The demon lord tore through border control himself, and then marched inward until we lost sight of him."
Raising his head from his hand, the emperor stood up from the enlightened throne, and once again asked Michael a question.
