Leviathan's Graveyard (24)
As Cyrus stood over the fallen mage, a subtle shift occurred in the throne room. The Sea Monarch, initially impassive, inclined his head in a nod of acknowledgment. It was a gesture laden with unspoken implications, signaling the recognition of Cyrus's prowess and the completion of the appointed task.
The guards, who had maintained an unwavering watch throughout the confrontation, subtly shifted their stances. Their reactions were a blend of respect and wariness, acknowledging Cyrus's triumph while remaining vigilant in the presence of the enigmatic ruler.
With a glance towards the Sea Monarch, Cyrus awaited further instructions, his every movement attuned to the unfolding dynamics of the underwater realm. The throne room, a tableau of bone-crafted grandeur, became a stage where the next act of the Leviathan City's mysterious narrative would soon unfold.
