The Emperor--Ode to Killer Huxley

A work of Arcana by Behemel Fatereaver

He sits under an archway overlooking the landscape of his kingdom beyond. Twilight has come, a golden, fiery sky with the stars peeking through with the coming summer night. Upon his throne, he rules all before him. Beast of white, majestic strength. A lion's pride. A tiger's strength. His frame is strong, muscular. A broad strong chest and arms, well earned from combat and training. Spikes protrude from his body, fearsome around his mane. Blood had stained his fur lightly, noticeable upon his body. Dressed not in royal robes but in simple jeans. Torn, revealing, yet only amplifies his dominance over his subjects. His own malehood barely contained within.

Upon his feet, his slaves and lovers reach for him in adoration, touching and stroking his body. He sits there, pleased by their attention with a toothy smile. However, his gaze is forward. The eyes of a leader, a predator, and ruler-- to look upon the world and for them to know he is their king. His throne is aglow from the fiery sunset, the sky set ablaze as if not by the sun but by his very presence. He wields not a scepter, but his sword, Wyvern-Azura at his side, also surrounded by his worshippers. The stars sparkle upon the great king, the slight silhouette of wings behind him as he rules. His very being defines dominance, justice, masculinity that puts others to shame, and of course the true power of the alpha male.
