To the purple

The next morning, Manefor was the one who woke them in the wing given to them in the palace. The sun was still far from rising, as it was still dark out, but their attention was needed for the planning of the ruin clearing.

After a quick wash, they went to the throne room, where only the Chief and a man were waiting.

The Chief wasn't wearing his crown, and he gave Atrox a bow before pointing at him, then at the man beside him. "Blessed Atrox, this is Tower Captain Leojan."

Atrox had already told the others about what the Forsaken Tribes were calling him, so they weren't surprised. They also tried not to be stunned that the Chief was bowing to him.

Captain Leojan seemed to be on the smaller side for someone from the Forsaken Tribes, but the Errant Knight was still taller than Atrox and Tiber. He gave him a short bow. "It's good to finally meet you, Blessed."

Atrox nodded deeply. "I will be in your care, Tower Captain."
