Zavala would have entered the great throne room in the spire as the sun did not shine upon the throne like usual. A large glass window in front of the throne, higher up in the room, did not allow its colors to dance like usual. Only whispers and quiet shouts could be heard filling the room as the prince entered. Some hushed down and allowed their eyes to follow the prince across the tile floor which was decorated with tans and browns in an eccentric design amongst the gleaming white of the off-white marble. 

As the Great King spoke through what once was Zavala’s father, it sounded like many voices spoke at once with him, “[color=D4AF37]Do not attempt to entertain on such a weary day,[/color]” The man which was once his father raised a hand to stop him from speaking anymore — if he was going to continue anyways. His eyes were as bright as the sun that stood above them and his expressions faded from what Zavala would have once recognized. None of his father was in there anymore or at least it didn’t appear like the man was in there at all. The darker skin upon his hands was decorated with the golden eccentrics of the process to become the Great King’s vessel and keep the vessel as a fine habitat for the god. 

His booming voice seemed to silence the whole room to an eerie scale of silence. “[color=D4AF37]If you wish to appease me. Show the individuals how they have failed at prayer and support. Lock off the fourth from the inner rings and allow the storm to consume what has already been lost. The people of this city need to face consequences for weakening me. They will realize that my power is fueled by them and their prayers have become silent compared to old, do this, and I will place fortune in your future,[/color]” With those words, uproar began to come from the royal council members. 

[i]Blocking off the fourth ring!? We lost the fifth only a decade ago![/i]

[b]You are punishing the fourth for what!? For what!? When the second and first barely put an eye to you!?[/b] 

There were voices over voices of concern yet there were silenced individuals that had smug faces in the crowd of the council. In the council, there were people from every ring. One of the royal council members was someone from the fifth who lost their whole family to the raging storm. That person looked mortified. The individuals from the fourth and third showed concern for many reasons. The council members who were from the second showed less care for the fourth and more smug looks of how they believed the fourth deserved it. 

What did it mean for the people of the fourth? The people of the third? Blocking off the fourth from the third meant that the Great King was sacrificing the whole outer ring to the storm without hesitation. “[color=D4AF37][b]SILENCE![/b][/color]” The Great King hushed everyone in the royal council and the small crowd was in the throne room as his sun-scorched eyes met those amber ones of the prince. 

“[color=D4AF37]What is your response to this?[/color]” The Great King clearly had a response that he wanted but could the prince truly give him what he wanted? A sacrifice of that many people? The largest ring of all the rings that had been presently existing. That meant thousands upon thousands of people dying. Tens of thousands.
