Unfathomable

"We were a step too late once again…" 

The three Monarchs of the Africor Continent didn't seem perturbed at the words. The world shook around them, and it seemed that the pyramid was going to be reset once more. 

King Roderic stood with his usual obsidian beard and bronze band across his forehead, his fierce amber eyes more a reflection of his usual state of stoicism rather than any fear or apprehension at what was happening around them. 

By his side, there were the other two Monarchs of their nation. 

King Thorian seemed quite feminine and soft compared to Roderic. His frame was slight, and from time to time he would extend a long, slender finger from the large sleeves of his robes that looked more woman than man. 

This finger drew across the air as though he was calculating something before shifting his glasses slightly and vanishing into his large sleeves once more.
