(Calamitas please.)

Lyon and his two generals emerged from the portal in another field entirely. As Lyon got off Selena's horse, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and clutched at it, doubling over. Selena lept off her horse and examined him with great concern. As soon as she saw a bit of purple come from underneath the prince's lilac robes, though, she backed away, letting the beast take control. The now fully-possessed prince took a look at the empty space around him and scoffed. He raised his hand, and from the ground around them emerged a keep worthy of a king, surprising Selena and Valter. The thing that was once their prince spoke. "Come. We have work to do." The thing entered the keep, followed by Selena and Valter, both cautious about this turn of events.

It led them to a meeting room, a beautifully decorated table with seven seats at its center. Three on one of the longer sides of the rectangle, three on the other, with the last seat situated on the small side between them. The thing sat in the seat on the small side, gesturing for Selena and Valter to sit in whatever seat they pleased. Selena and Valter silently sat across from each other, in the seats closest to their prince's body. They waited for it to speak, but it didn't, clearly savoring how uncomfortable they were. Finally, Selena cleared her throat.

"What are your orders, sire?" She had to force out the word sire. She didn't desire to call this monstrosity her superior, but feared death otherwise.

"I'm so glad you finally asked, Flourspar. As you can see, this table was designed to seat seven. One prince and his six generals. As you can see, we're four short. I'm sending you away, back to that place. I want you to scout for generals worthy of my presence, and bring them here, forcefully if need be. Bring them alive, and if they are unwilling, I will take care of the rest." The thing grinned.

"Of course, my liege." Valter nodded, and Selena silently did the same. The thing then waved its hand, signaling that it was time for their departure. Valter left eagerly, while Selena took a look behind her before departing as well. With their absence came silence, and the purple aura around the thing began dissipating. Lyon was now back in control.
