"The king is returning!"
Out on the streets of Luxuria, the people had come to a complete standstill when a familiar starry black portal opened up directly in front of the fountain of rebirth.
Normally, when in the same space with the king the citizens would just exchange respectful bows before going on about their day.
After all, both the king and his family spent a lot of time out in the city, and it would be quite a hassle to get on the ground every time any of them were sighted.
However, it was different when the king was returning home after an adventure or campaign.
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and bowed in reverence.
When Abaddon stepped through the portal, he was greeted by a resounding welcome from his citizens.
"Welcome home, my lord!"
"The king has returned!"
"Glory to Vovin!"
Abaddon had to admit, it was nice to be welcomed like this.
