They had been entrusted with the task of bringing back Arcane, but he had disappeared without a trace. As soon as the news reached the palace, the whole kingdom went into a state of frenzy.

As he approached the throne, his bones turned cold and fear enveloped his body tightly. The aura in the room was so thick that it made it hard to breathe. He didn't dare to look up at the king, who sat high above in his throne chair, looking straight at him with his burning cyan eyes.
