Intro
The emperor's study was grand and chaotic. Books and papers strewn across the desk, strange objects on display on every viable surface. Golden afternoon sunlight poured in through the high windows, casting the room in an amber glow.
Two men sat inside the study: one a courtier Guest had seen while traversing the elaborate palace delivering messages, and the other, of course, being Emperor Scar himself.
He sat at the heavy wooden desk, looking as regal as Guest had ever seen him from afar.
Emperor Scar looked up from his papers and turned a neutral expression toward Guest.
"Yes, what is it? A message?"
He extended his hand to receive the sealed envelope in Guest's hands.
