The Quiet Command of Shadows
The sound of Varens boots was still there, in the marble hall even after the doors closed behind Varen. It was really quiet after Varen left. This quiet felt empty. It felt heavy like the feeling you get after a big thunderstorm.
Ben stayed sitting on the throne for a bit. His eyes were on the doors that had shut behind his commander. It was really quiet in the court. This quiet felt like it was closing in around Ben. He could still feel the feeling that had gone through the room earlier. It was a feeling. It was like the room was still tense. This tension was not going away. Ben could feel it. It made him uncomfortable. The bad feeling was still, in the room. It was not fading away. Ben was still sitting on the throne. He was looking at the big doors.
He leaned back slowly in his chair his fingers resting on the armrest. He tapped it once.
