The Imperial City. It was exactly how he remembered it. It was huge, it was grand, and it felt like everything revolved around it. The walls were huge and white, spanning miles and miles. The streets and roads were made from white stone, and every house and every structure glimmered brightly in the midday sun. Every district, like the market district and the housing district, were marked by massive flags that cut high into the sky. The people crowded the streets and alleys, making the city glow even more with their radiant smiles and cheerful laughs. It was exactly how he remembered it, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
Sir Haine smiled, passing through the gatehouse upon his trusty, white stallion. He wore his signature golden armor that shimmered with strange glowing white runes etched into its surface. Anybody from the Imperial City would recognize it- it was the unique armored bestowed upon the few knights that the king believed had the highest honor. He wore a red cape that hung down from his pauldrons, a hefty sword at his hip.
At a glance, he was a surprise to see. He wasn't old or middle-aged by any means, but his hair was a gallant silver. His eyes were an icy blue, and three single scars ran down his left eye. Other than that, his face looked gentle, his smile genuine. With his golden gauntlets grabbing hold of the reins, his horse trotted forth into the heart of the city, towards the tall castle that looked as if it pierced the heavens themselves.
On his way to the castle, he received numerous greetings and smiles which he happily returned. As much as he enjoyed the rush of battle, he did love peace every once in a while. He had been too long since he had been back in civilization, and he was going to make the best of it. Even if he was called here by strict orders from the king, there were a few others things he would have to take care of as well.
It took quite a few minutes of riding before he finally came to the castle gates. The guards acknowledged him and quickly opened the massive metal structure, greeting him with open arms. Haine smiled and slipped off of his horse when one of the troops offered to take his steed to the stable.
"Thanks," Haine nodded, "I'm here on business of the king. Where can I find him?" He asked, his voice a strange combination of roughness and friendliness.
"He's waiting inside." One of the troops answered, "I heard that there were others coming, and he requested that you wait in the main hall."
"Right." Haine nodded, "I'll be on my way." The troops all saluted with every step he took to the giant castle doors. With barely any effort he shoved them open, revealing the intricate designs and beautiful architecture that waited within. Haine made his way inside, waving to blushing maids and respectful soldiers. The main hall was a long room with massive columns beaming up to the ceiling on the left and right. And at the very end sat the throne, which was currently empty.
"I have to wait, huh?" Haine shrugged, crossing his arms and resting his back against the column. "Who else did the king send for?"
