Within the shadowed realm of the Abyss, Sarko slowly emerged from an Anygate.
Anygates were a common feature throughout the Abyss—convenient transportation nodes that allowed one to traverse vast distances within the dark domain. Sarko had just been lounging idly in his palace, feeling somewhat bored, when he received a direct summons from none other than the Emperor of the Abyss.
The title was no exaggeration. The Emperor of the Abyss was the supreme sovereign of the entire Abyssal realm, possessing an exalted authority unmatched by any other. Even powerful beings like Sarko, one of the Kings of the Abyss, were bound to obey the Emperor's commands.
What surprised Sarko, however, was that this summons wasn't for a routine council session.
And the topic under discussion went far beyond what he had anticipated.
Are we really planning to attack the surface world this soon?
Should he vote in favor of this campaign, or stand against it?
