This Is War

In a certain room in a castle located at the Duskstalker Kingdom, a man was sipping a cup of red-colored liquid while sitting beside the open window. His crimson black eyes were staring into the moon when clouds began to hide it, replacing the endless sky with nothing but darkness.

"So now, it's you who fell, Aragorn," the man mumbled after taking a sip, his voice calm and collected.

Then, the peaceful silence came to an end as a sudden knock sounded. The man didn't respond right away; he took a few more sips before giving his permission.

"Come in," he ordered, and the clacking of the door opening followed.

"Greetings, High Venerable," the person who entered bowed and stated.

"I beg for your forgiveness; I failed to meet your expectations," he added.

Upon hearing him, the man averted his gaze from the sky and stared at the now empty cup, then sighed.
