05 - Rise and fall.

Envoys had sped to the Capital to bring news of the Kings death at the desert by the hand of the presumed 'Atade ma'.

Paa aman was in severe shock about this and roamed the halls of the Castle aimlessly throwing pottery and jewelry aside as he went, noone dared to stop his rampage as it was clear Trine's power now fell on him.
Especially with Kyigei on his mind, this was to much.

"He (kyigei) dares leave me with this responsibility.. who can bear a burden this heavy" He cried.. "and Vile!!..this beast of the desert.. it is not the Denimus i care about now.. I want revenge!"

Uume ran down the hallway toward Aman trying to calm him.. "I feel the burden as much as you Prince.." "But the Sunrock is not built for the desert, we both know that"
"Prince?!" Aman yelled angrily.. "I am KING now.." "Look at me, the aimless king.. PITY ME.. unhand me.." he whimpered on.. "this.. this is a much better destination for the sunrock dont you see.."

"Listen to yourself damn it.." Uume emitted throwing Aman to the ground. "We have worked for two years to defend against Empers new weapon and you will throw all that work away just to take revenge on a single beast.. the ship cannot cross the desert.. that is final..it would break down."

"allright" Paa Aman sighed cynically as if cured of his shock induced madness; Ill go without the ship.

"Excuse me?!?" Uume replied.. "You just said yourself you are king..."

"Give kyigei the title.." Paa Aman laughed.. "Oh.. right.. He was in Caboth.."

"The Denimus then??" Uume continued..

Paa aman stood up straight then threw off his royal cape and jewelry.. "Send the research to kyigei then, ..'and work with him.. for what i care"

"But.. Trine without a King?" pleaded Uume now clinging to Aman's discarded clothing..

For a final time Paa Aman turned before walking out of the Castle doors.. "The times.. changed early"

He was gone, off into the desert on foot, leaving a kingless state behind, Kyigei still unaware he had no home to return to.
