1A NEW DAWN BREAKS
“Wake up,” Princess Mina Hiranya commanded, standing with her arm on her hip and her chest puffed out. From her haughty expression to her upturned chin, her every feature exuded an aura of overwhelming superiority.
Were a commoner to see her, they’d prostrate and grovel, even in her disfigured state.
Wooden limbs had replaced her disfigured ones, and while she hadn’t gotten used to walking on a peg leg, she didn’t need walking skills for what she was about to do.
The four-armed demon slowly opened his eyes. He leveled a stare that made Mina take a reflexive half step back, nearly stumbling over her peg leg.
The enormous chains that bound his neck, arms, and ankles each weighed as much as a man, and yet barely interfered with his motions. They jingled lightly as he shifted his body to a lounging position. Thick, sturdy steel beams separated the demon from the princess and her cadre of knights and mejai.
“Too much gold,” the four-armed giant said from within his oversized dungeon cell, eyeing the half dozen knights in full plate that ringed the princess. He paid the other six mejai that stood before him no mind. “Gaudy and hollow. That face you wear? Fake. That image you project? False. What are you, really?” the giant thundered, cracking his thick neck.
“Disregard his empty threats, princess,” a man said from beside Mina. A Mejai of Realms, and one of the finest in Hiranya. “The giant speaks grandly but look at him. He has not a shred of power left.”
“Half giant,” the demon corrected. “True demon giants would never fit in your tiny halls.”
“Tall tales!” the Mejai of Realms replied.
Mina ignored the mejai. “You speak as if you know me, half giant. Yet we have never met.”
“Girl, after four hundred years, a demon learns a thing or two about wearing faces. Why have you roused me from my slumber? Speak.”
By all rights, Mina was the authority figure here. She was not the one bound in heavy chains, nor was she subdued by an obedience collar that suppressed her powers and shocked her when she misbehaved. She was the princess of this kingdom, surrounded by some of the most powerful mejai and warriors the kingdom had.
And yet, to all in the room, it felt as if it were the opposite. They were like vassals prostrating before a god. The blue and gold tribal tattoos that covered every inch of the giant’s body only amplified the image. They spoke of an arcane power. A power lost to time, from an age long forgotten.
