Off in a distance land, a kingdom was set ablaze after being attacked by an unstoppable enemy. The king of this once thriving and seemingly peaceful kingdom was being held hostage as the invaders destroyed the throne room in search of something.
"I know you have it Francis..." A hooded man in a trench coat said calmly as the king was on his knees cowarding before him. The hooded man whose face was covered by a skull shaped metallic mask looked down at the king.
"Now I'll ask again..."
The hooded man knelt down towards the king and stared him down with the black sunken eyes of his mask. "Where is it?"
The quivering king was quivering in fear as he was surrounded by the mulitated bodies of his guards and kinsmen. "I-I don't know..."
"Well it must be here. You were more willing to let all of your people starve than let anyone know of its location." The hooded man said to the king before realizing the king was staring off at something else.
The hooded man followed the kings line of sight to the throne before nodding.
"Ahhh...there it is."
The king looks at the man with shock before grabbing his shoulders
"N-no n-no n-no! It's not there! Trust me!"
"Too late Francis..." The hooded man broke the king's wrist before standing up and making his way over to the throne. "I had to admit, you lasted longer than I thought you would. For a coward."
The king tried to get up onto his feet but a woman just came up behind him and stabbed his leg with her spear with four more men behind her.
The hooded man grabbed the throne and chucks it across the throne room before noticing a small hole that was underneath with a small box inside.
"Please...Star King...don't do this..."
"I'm afraid the world has given me no choice Francis..." The Star King said before pulling the small box out of the hole and opening it to reveal a glowing yellow stone. "I must do this...for everyone."
The Star King looks over at the king has he held the glowing stone in his hand.
"I hope to see you in the next world."
The Star King nodded at the woman with the spear who swiftly killed the king who before his demise was begging for his life.
"What now?" Asks one of the four men standing behind the woman
"Now..." The Star King said as he was admiring the stone. "We make an Empire fall..."
