the soldiers released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the humming had changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was no longer a sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

covered in glowing symbols older than the kingdom itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant slowly knelt before Elara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not the King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire capital fell silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the wind disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stone guardian lowered its head like a knight before its queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Executioner stumbled
