During the Great Fire of Arün five years ago, Prince Laverne Ingerman stared down death, succumbed to fear and accepted that his life was at its end to save his father. However, Laverne survived thanks to his father's love for his children and King Valka took Laverne's place in the afterlife. Now, King Laverne has one wish: to resurrect Valka. Unfortunately for him, there is only one way to get his impossible wish granted: resurrect the dead gods. 
 

What Is Done

Lightning struck outside somewhere in the distance. Laverne twitched from a terrible dream in his sleep. The sound of thunder woke him and he bolted upright in bed, breathing heavily. His hand snatched at his nightgown until his heartbeat felt normal again. His grip loosened as he began to feel serene once more. The room Nico showed him was small compared to his at home but it was fine. There wasn't much room for anything besides the bed and night tables in it. In the far corner there was a wooden armoire. The maid had brought his belongings Maehara held to make the stay more cozy. Lightning struck again, lighting up the room for a split second accompanied by a booming noise. King Laverne lied back down, wanting to get comfortable. The bed hadn't been as plush as his own in the Castle of Glass. Laverne was just happy to be sleeping on a real mattress for the first time in a month so it didn't bother him.
