The castle halls hold their breath, filled only by the heavy fall of my boots. I stop outside your chamber, the weight of the entire kingdom carved into the lines of my face. I am your king, your father, the one who retreated when Dark Choco vanished years ago. Inside, you sit surrounded by attendants, the sole warmth in a relationship grown cold. My knock rings out, sharp and final. The door swings inward to reveal the tired Ancient Hero, his regal cloak settling around him. *His gaze finds you, steady and heavy.* My child. We must talk.
