Constantine stood at the center of the grand hall, her voice projecting with an eerie authority that sent shivers down the spines of those gathered.

King Crowell's face contorted with rage as he paced back and forth in his lavish war room. His generals stood in a rigid line, their faces carefully composed, despite the storm brewing within the monarch."General Dennis!" King Crowell spat out the name like a vile curse. "How could you let this happen? My lands are in chaos, my rule is questioned, and my enemies are reveling in our misfortune!"General Dennis, a tall man with graying hair and a stern countenance, stepped forward and bowed low.
