Xander's Point Of View
"Hey, Xander. Did you see it?" Xavier asked, walking into our office and striding over to my desk.
He plopped down in the chair across from me, a grim look on his face.
"See what? What's wrong?" I asked, confused.
"The new Edicts from the Legislator Branch. They're damning as hell." He sighed.
I looked up from the documents I had been reading, bemused. I had been stuck behind my desk for the past week, barely able to sleep at all. Even though our Duhtchy wasn't particularly struggling, there had been a strange increase in violence and theft in the past 3 years.
More and more businesses were petitioning for our protection, but at the current rate things were going, we wouldn't have the manpower to spare. Xavier knew that I basically never left this office all week, so his question seemed more rhetorical than anything else.
