The Emperor's Command

"Immortal beings?" Elder Liang looked in surprise. "Plural?"

"I don't know how many just yet. Only that they have come and hidden themselves for some reason," Alex said. "I can't tell much from here. Let us return to the palace and see if the King has received any more information than us."

The two elders nodded and the three of them quickly returned to the palace. Alex went to find the King who was in his hall, surrounded by the other elders.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" the King asked.

"I am fine," Alex said. "Do you have any idea what is going on out there?"

The King shook his head. "His Majesty has given out orders for everyone out there to send him what has happened.  I'm sure we will learn soon enough."

Alex nodded. He was curious where the Immortals had even come down to. He wondered how far to the west this even went on for.
