The Royal Palace #1

"Hear ye, hear ye! The king has commenced an audience with the royal guard! All guardsmen shall follow under the kings command. You do not, want, to make him angry..."

Everyone's attention was shifted; from what they were doing, towards the spokesman.

The King entered the royal palace...

Adorned in chain mail armour. Horned helmet and an eye patch.

"My humble servants... my friends. I make the announcement, that I, King Wonder... am a Father!"

Everyone celebrated over this excitement they all shared

"Was it a boy?"

"Was it a girl?"

They all asked, to themselves and out loud.

"I have two, wonder-ful children. They are my sons. Today is a day of joy!! For my children are born!!! Greg! Prepare the kitchen with a banquet. Tonight... we feast.

As cheering and joy filled the air,

King wonder presented, with everyone around,

what was under his eye patch.

Gasping was the first reaction...

His eye was darkened orange. Alien like, with what seemed to be an octagonal pattern for its iris.

"I lost my eye in combat... I killed SurGone and replaced his eye with my broken one. This eye... I don't understand it still... it whispers to me. Making me see things that aren't there... illusions... it's best to be in my possession than him. We cannot, I CANNOT, let this fall into the hands of evil."

People were afraid from what I know. Shocked to see my Fathers eye at first. I've only heard the stories...

this SurGone guy seemed like big trouble from the sounds of it.

It's a story dad... king wonder isn't grandpa.

I know...

I know.

Let me continue.

"Tell us about this battle lord!"

"Yes! Please do!"

They begged.
