For some reason, the runes in the golden chandelier above were not lit, almost as if things were left this way to build up the tension of the moment.

In that moment, the doors of the throne room creaked open, slowly revealing Phenor. His purple eyes seemed to hold calm seriousness, and his black hair seemed to glint softly due to the moonlight.
