00:00I guess my entrance could have been better.
00:02The courtyard is dead silent.
00:03The head butler, the maids, and the elite guards stand completely frozen.
00:07They are all staring at me.
00:09A coal shabler sitting in the dirt, calmly holding a legendary mythic beast that is drooling on my shirt.
00:15Take him away. Dress him. He smells like cheap coal.
00:21The head butler snaps out of his daze.
00:23He looks at the shadow wolf in my arms, then at me, his eyes wide with newfound terrifying respect.
00:28He bows so low his nose almost touches the stones.
00:31Welcome home, Lord Consort Rayan. Your quarters have been prepared.
00:34Please, allow us to wash away the sod of the mines.
00:36Two hours later, I stand in front of a floor-length crystal mirror.
00:40This is ridiculously uncomfortable. How do you people even breathe in this stuff?
00:45Staring at me in dead silence, their mouth slightly open.
00:49I frown, checking my waist.
00:51What are they looking at?
00:52Did I misalign the leather ties on my trousers?
00:54Or is this heavy vest on backward?
00:58Brother!
