"It has been a long time indeed!" Said by a person who was not meant to be there.
The soundless crowd became thunderous as the person's voice echoed. No one present expected him to appear. Most prayed he never would.
Yet every jaw fell open when the Head Priest Hadeon walked forward and shook hands with this person.
The despair in Emperor Gabriel's face quietly disappeared, however it turned into something alarming.
Empress Samantha gradually drew her sword.
The person leisurely took the hood of his black cloak to reveal his face,
King Lucifer.
To make matters worse the necklace which silently hung down his neck was none other than
"Golden Eyes?"
When the recognition filled the people's face, only one emotion followed terror.
Even though, the adults and teen agers had already started running to find a good hiding spot, the children were confused.
"Mom, what is golden eyes?" Asked a child.
His mom barely looked at him at that time, let alone answer. However, after she found a good hiding spot and hid there. She answered, slowly in a quiet volume.
"When our land of Sagar faced the first ever night polar. The people here automatically divided into two groups:
The people who barely survived and The people who thrived.
While, poor and weak were not able to survive and were eaten by beasts, the people who were physically strong or were just rich thrived.
Yet those people who were not really strong or certainly rich but had sharp minds and brilliant strategies created their own group and went somewhere near the borders of Sagar.
Afterwards, when the Night Polar ended the genius people who went to the borders created a kingdom called Altherra.
It's first ruler was Queen Velastra, the woman of light.
She was known for her ability for creating and healing life with her light-like power. Later, when her death was approaching she created a necklace called Golden Eyes. A necklace which could kill anyone who sees it with wrong intentions.
But the terrifying Golden Eyes not only became the symbol of the kingdom but also the pride of the nation. However, The same pride was looted by the kings of the rising Aureth Empire, who invaded the nation.
Years later, when the surviving parts of Kingdom Altherra turned into Kingdom Aleria, they demanded the Golden Eyes back. Unfortunately, it was already stolen and declared lost.
But... But... King Lucifer got it back!"
The child sat silently, struggling to understand what he had just heard.
