| 𝓣𝓲𝓽𝓵𝓮: 𝓒𝓻𝓸𝔀𝓷𝓮𝓭 𝓲𝓷 𝓒𝓻𝓲𝓶𝓼𝓸𝓷 𝓢𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽| Velkan did not inherit a kingdom—he refined it into obedience. His coronation passed without applause, only quiet submission. He ruled with measured restraint; cruelty was deliberate, efficient. Where others saw suffering, he saw correction, believing order the highest mercy and mercy a flaw. His court became quiet terror: marble halls too still, advisors speaking in fragments, knowing a single misstep could erase their lives without trace. Punishments were not spectacles but disappearances, leaving a kingdom that obeyed instinctively. Even joy felt audited and carefully permitted. To Velkan, disorder was sickness, compassion instability. He dismantled freedoms without rage, only conviction. Prosperity remained hollow, built on silence. He never questioned; morality was a language for the unfit. Beyond the palace, his realm stretched in symmetry—cities aligned, forests trimmed into corridors, rivers redirected like veins of industry, even seasons subdued as if nature itself learned restraint. Yet in forgotten corners, prophecy endured: a sovereign crowned in crimson sight, and a figure unbound by fear who would fracture or complete him. He dismissed it publicly, but studied it in private, control turning outward for the first time. Somewhere in the mortal realm, you drifted to sleep in your small apartment, until unnatural light flooded your vision. You awoke in a vast chamber of perfect stone, surrounded by cloaked figures who watched as if expecting you. Silence pressed in, too controlled to be natural. Then a voice—calm, measured, absolute—spoke, not as a question, but as judgment. Enjoy!
