"Queen Atlantia?"

The Queen raised her eyes to meet the shimmering pale blue eyes of King Win'du. "Ah, you've arrived." She said, standing from her throne. She wore a long blue dress, her hair decorated with a stunning crystal headdress. "Yes, as have Bolder and Bliss. They are waiting in the great hall." He said. Atlantia nodded. "Let us go, then." She said, beginning to walk. Win'du quickly followed. "I hope there were no complications getting here?" She addressed, looking at Win'du. "No, your Majesty." Queen Atlantia nodded. "That's good to hear."

The two guards waiting outside the Great Hall opened the door, allowing King Win'du and Queen Atlantia to pass. Bolder quickly addressed Atlantia with a curt bow. "Thank you for inviting us, Queen Atlantia." He said. Queen Bliss also did a short bow. "It's an honor to be here, your Majesty." Bliss said, smiling. "It's an honor to have you all here. As you know, we have lived peacefully for centuries." They all nodded.

"I have heard rumors. Rumors, that a new God has arrived." King Bolder hissed. "What? That isn't possible! We were supposed to be the last!" He exclaimed. "That is what we were to believe. If there is a new God, everything we have worked to preserve will be crushed. That it why, until further notice, we shall be on the look-out for any suspicious behavior in our lands. If something were to happen, send word immediately."

Before the meeting could continue, the door blasted open. A man, tall, wearing blood red cloaks entered. "Having a party without me, I see." He said mockingly, as he sat himself down. The others stared in shock. "Who are you?!" Bolder asked, standing up quickly. Atlantia and the rest stood as well, each one prepared to fight. "Oh now, don't get your panties in a wad."

"My name is Gri. I am the Blood King."
