The people of the capital all gathered in the streets. Men pushing against each other, kids jumping behind them, and women looking out of the windows of their homes. Today, Queen Aella was getting crowned. Just earlier this morning, she fended off a massive, six-headed Hydra.
In this world that is plagued by vicious monsters and countless disasters, power was everything.
