AMONGST US
Princess Evelyn, the youngest of the king's daughters, sat quietly in the corner, her sharp mind racing. She had studied the ancient texts and knew that the power Mr. Dash spoke of was not to be taken lightly. Her heart pounded in her chest as she felt a growing sense of unease. This was not the kind of prosperity her father had envisioned for their people—it was the temptation of the gods, a promise of power that could only lead to ruin.
As the councilors' voices grew louder, the king held up his hand for silence. He stood, his heavy crown tilting slightly, and addressed the room. "We must tread carefully. The wellbeing of our kingdom is not to be gambled with. I trust my friend, General Krew, to protect us from threats foreign and domestic. Yet, even he cannot guarantee us against the forces of nature."
The general, feeling the weight of his secret agreement with Mr. Dash, shifted in his seat uncomfortably. His mind was a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts: loyalty to the king, the promise of untold riches, and the whispers of his own greed. He knew he had to act quickly before the truth came to light.
