The royal palace of Dalmatia was as silent as a graveyard as King Raemon sat on his throne, awaiting the arrival of the old witch Mafesta. He had summoned her to hear her report on what had been happening in Xania, and to discuss their plan of attack.
As he waited, his mind wandered to the events of the past few weeks. Mafesta had informed him of the shapeshifter who had infiltrated the Xanian palace on her command and had been causing chaos, trying repeatedly to kill his rival’s beloved son, Prince Caspian. Raemon couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at the thought of prince Caspian finally perishing. It was long overdue, and even though he wanted to be the one who snuffed the light out of his eyes, he could concede that it was much easier to let someone else do it.
