The realm looked stranger than he remembered.
He stood for a long moment and let the sight settle in his bones. He had been gone a long time, while he lay unconscious. Everything had shifted while he slept.
He walked toward the palace, several men crowded around him,having this strange feeling as he passed by them.
Even from a distance they felt the aura of him. There was something about his features that echoed the king.
At the palace gate a pair of guards rose to block him. Their armor flashed in the pale light. One of them planted his spear in the ground and cleared his throat as if to find courage.
"Leave, now or leave this world forever," Alexis barked. His voice tried to carry power, but it failed against the presence of Alexis's.
