Aiden walked through the halls leading to the throne room with Laela on his left side and Arianna on his right.
Soon they reached the entrance and Laela turned to him and asked quietly , "Are you ready?"
Aiden nodded once moved forward to push the heavy doors open.
The throne room came into view and the moment Aiden stepped through the entrance, a wave of shock and silence swept across the gathered crowd.
Most of them stared at him with widened eyes and mouths slightly parted as they took in his appearance.
The former captains especially, looked completely stunned as they parted ways instinctively to let him walk through the center.
Laela and Arianna moved quietly to a corner near the side of the room while Aiden continued forward until he reached a slightly heightened platform where he could look at everyone present.
Before he began speaking, the vision of his dragon's eye adjusted naturally silently and sharpened enough as he scanned through every person in the room.
