Now, worezayax walked through the cold palace halls deeply in thought. These halls once full of drunks and vulgar women now held dignity.
What was this feeling...pride?
Was silverston finally going to become an empire with iron walls?
And all because of one young man with...
...Terrifying eyes. Worezayax had seen the first emperor. His eyes had been of something dissociative, distant, as if he were seeing the world but not really understanding it.
But Ara's eyes, they were much worse. They were eyes that carried the weight of a hunger, a ravenous ambition that consumed everything in its path, devouring innocence, loyalty, and life itself.
Those eyes bore into Worezayax's very soul, and they shook him in a way he couldn't explain.
It was the ambition of a hungry cub, the type that reeked of desperation. It almost made Worezayax pity Ara, but he knew better than to feel that sympathy.
