In the heart of the Godoka kingdom, within the vast, silent stone confines of the Royal Audience Chamber, King Alvan sat upon the Sunstone Throne.
Though richly decorated, the room felt tense, charged by the King's palpable fury.
To his left, on a carved bench slightly lower than the throne, sat Agni, the King's trusted advisor, who had just finished reading a message scrawled upon a parchment scroll.
To the King's right, in an equally respected seat, was Lord Brahma, the Kingdom's ancient Protector and the eldest individual in the room—a figure of such wisdom that even the King himself deferred to his counsel.
Brahma, whose long, white beard contrasted sharply with the dark wood of his seat, watched the King with deep concern.
"How should we respond, Your Majesty?" Brahma asked, his voice low and steady, a calming counterpoint to the tension.
