Melancholic Feeling (Ch.31)

"Askel Vance Niolen, honored by the creator as warden of the Ethereal domain, none has proven more worthy."

"With the Creator's gaze upon us, you are crowned the 21st Alpha King of the Ethereal domain, the Alpha of Alphas and the King of Wolves, may your reign last and flourish under the Creator's gaze." The High Oracle declared in a tone of reverence, his head bowed low.

For the first time in centuries, each part of the crowning ritual had proven it's true meaning and even the ritual of the blood gems that had been taken for formality had now revealed itself once again.

After the glow of the blood gems had dissipated, the High Oracle's voice had taken on a tone that could only be described as worship as he voiced the words of the crowning ritual with vigor.

The High Oracle's voice sounded distant to Askel as he professed the final parts of the crowning ritual.
