King Oberon, had faced many challenges during his reign, but never had he dealt with as many simultaneous crises as he was now.
For the first time in centuries, he was considering a vacation. He was even tempted to abdicate the throne and pass it on to his heir, but with everything happening, he was starting to doubt whether his chosen successor was even the right choice.
This was no ordinary council meeting, King Oberon could tell when he strode into the room.
Usually, his arrival brought the ministers to an instant hush, but this time, their murmurs continued, filling the room with a low, anxious hum that spoke of irritation, fear, and a tension that could not be easily quelled.
