chapter 12 : The return with change

A Warm, Sunny Day

Three blazing suns illuminate the Kingdom of Bujars, banishing frost and darkness to the distant hills of Mosira—a frigid, shadowy realm ruled by one of the Ten Creatures, a being named Guevara.

A massive crowd marches through the kingdom's streets, led by Princess Marsha, who gazes upon her people with contempt, as if they were insects beneath her heel. It reinforces the age-old truth: every soul has its price, every individual their ordained place—or so I've always believed. After this brief glimpse into what awaits you, dear reader, let us return to Bujars for the funeral of Abduljaleel.

His body is hoisted on shoulders amid wails and screams, as though the kingdom has lost its king. One wonders: how did Abduljaleel earn such reverence in less than a week?

Marsha's voice booms through the streets like a megaphone as she strides with the arrogance of Satan's heir.

Marsha

I don't hear enough weeping! Scream louder—you must* practice this!
