Chapter 21
Two figures can be seen sitting across from one another. Henry gazes at me solemnly. "Sir, why did you attack the Emperor!?"
I look at him speechless, "This is just a big misunderstanding, if anything I was the one attacked! I am innocent!" I helplessly reply. A dark look appears in Henry's eyes. It is obvious he doesn't believe me.
"Sir. I don't think you understand the situation. We are not here to play games." Henry slams his fist on the table beside him as it shatters into pieces. "You. Will. Tell. Us. What. We. Want. To. Know." Henry makes sure to emphasize each word. I glance deeply at the broken table.. I start to reconsider what I was about to say next.
Henry looks at me intently. "Ah I know! I am… um.. " I pause… glancing back at the shattered table once more as I slowly retract what I was about to say. "Okay, I'll be honest with you Commander, I'm not who I say I am." Henry sighs in relief.. "Finally your seeing reason, Okay so who are your really?" I glance around.. four walls surround you… "Okay okay… listen closely." Henry leans in slightly.. I pause for dramatic effect.. "I am most definitely… not a suspicious individual" I place my hand over my chest as I nod in reassuring manner. A fire starts to burn in Henry's eyes as he seems to be bubbling in rage. Veins bulge on his forehead.. I grow quite concerned for his mental state.
The door opens as a silver-armored guard walks in. "We have completed our review… You're free to go, but… you cannot leave the Inner Conclave for the time being. If you would follow me." I look pleasantly surprised. "Henry, well you heard the man.. I'll be off then. Catch ya." Henry gloomily looks at me.

I pause mid step, "Oh wait, Henry I'll make sure to drop by soon, you can say hello to the wolf pup" I give his shoulder a fist bump. His expression lightens up slightly at that. "You better uphold that promise…." Henry replies. "Of course! While I may be an apple stealer I most certainly uphold my promises." "Wait did you just say you’re an apple stealer!?" I pause for a moment.. "Uh no..? Ha.. Ha.. Just joking Henry.." I glance at the silver armored guard.. "Time to go, lead the way." He nods and starts walking, I closely follow. Henry gazes at me suspiciously.

A Cultivator's War
The tenuous balance on the frontlines between the Everdream Empire and the Beast Alliance threatens to shatter. Ephraim the Relentless’ time is near, and his death will create a gaping hole in the Empire’s defenses. If left unattended, the Beast Alliance will push deeper into human territory, thereby destroying the decades of peace the Central Territories have seen. Their peace coming under fire makes the populace recall memories of a time before cultivators existed and of a time where the blood of all genders and ages littered the streets. As a result, the entire Empire draws the same conclusion; they need strong cultivators immediately. However, strong cultivators come at a cost: their existence creates a heavy load on the limited essence density on Cella. Thus, the Empire faces a dilemma: who will pick up the mantle when it falls? And how much is the Empire willing to sacrifice?
