THE TRUTH OF IT ALL

Hakeem walked down the stairs leading to the center of the cavern. His injuries were still making his pace slow but he didn't need to use Willy as a crutch anymore.

He got to the ground floor and began walking towards the throne which was placed there.

On the throne sat Lord Reis. He had been shocked when he saw someone walk into the caverns, but that shock had turned to surprise when he saw who it was before his expression finally settled on acceptance. He crossed his right leg across the other and spoke fluidly:

"Ah, it's you? So you were one of those sent, were you? But what are you doing here? Aren't you meant to be out there?"

He looked down on Hakeem as he spoke, the fact that he was a lord speaking to a mere soldier showing in his countenance.

Hakeem came to stand in front of the throne and crossed his arm, "You know exactly why I'm here, Reis"

Slam!

"I am a Lord and you'll address me as such!"
