Vlad did not remain focused on the awe-inspiring sight of the Kylon Kingdom for long. His sharp senses suddenly flared, narrowing his eyes as he detected a powerful presence approaching rapidly from the distance. But after only a second, his posture relaxed. The energy was familiar—measured, regal, and unmistakably belonging to Konstantine.
It was clear to Vlad that the crystal token given to him had immediately signaled his arrival to the Kylon King. A useful security feature—subtle, efficient, and making it clear that Konstantine was not the type that blindly trusted people with the keys to his home.
Konstantine appeared moments later, descending gracefully from the sky with a warm, welcoming smile. His presence exuded calm confidence and long-standing authority.
"Xaos King," he said, voice steady with respect, "you arrived sooner than I expected."
