Swing!
The front doors of the Imperial Palace swing open as the imperial guards open it for us.
Our footsteps create echoes against the polished floor of the Imperial Palace as we all run outside. The sun shines brightly as it marks the afternoon. We wait anxiously for King Grey to arrive with his travel party. Several imperial guards arrive outside as they make a formation in front of us.
A few minutes later, and the Emperor arrives with more imperial guards.
I talk with my friends for a few minutes as we wait for his arrival. My eyes squint as I try to see them in the distance. As I focus in on the hill where the main gates of the Imperial Palace are, I start seeing dots. Many dots. Soon enough, they come more into view.
I see the carriage with the royal crest of the Kingdom of Tarondar on the side of it.
