The Next Morning!
The first sunrise over Aeternum Noctis after Jax's return arrived quickly, as Jax had spent the entire previous day and night with Serika, indulging in pleasure.
The sky above the Demon Kingdom shimmered with its familiar mixture of crimson and violet hues, with Dragons flying in and out towards the Dragon territory, and merchants prepared to open up for business.
Jax had fallen asleep alongside Serika, and had only just woken up, now standing alone on the eastern balcony of the royal palace with a cup of freshly brewed tea rested in one hand.
His other hand remained tucked inside his coat pocket.
Below him, the capital had already awakened. Blacksmiths hammered enchanted steel, caravans entered through the enormous western gates, Dark Elves opened herb stalls.
Beastkin children raced one another through wide stone avenues despite repeated warnings from exasperated parents.
