Chapter Text
The thudding of feet echoed through the empty office. Situated in the heart of New York's financial district you’d think the business would be at full swing at eight thirty seven in the morning. As the door to the largest office bursts open a young man stumbles through struggling to catch his breath.
“S-sir” the young man gasped “I’m here to report a-“
Before the young man could finish the figure seated at the desk raised his hand as if to request silence. Sitting at a large desk in front of a large window was a slightly slim man, adorned in a sharp navy suit, his olive skin seemingly glowing as the sun illuminated the skyline behind him.
“A large influx of energy from the east, correct?” The man said in a slightly amused tone. “My dear boy do you know exactly what this signifies”
“I-“
“EXACTLY!” The man exclaimed “after centuries our king's return is imminent.” A chuckle starting “And, NOW!” the man's voice filled the empty offices as he began to rise from his seat. “The world will be right again, the powerful will rule again” he approached the young man and placed a long hand on his shoulder. ”Now as a thanks for this information how about you run home and take the rest of the day off, Im sure your mother would enjoy the visit”
The young man, while visibly confused, beamed at the opportunity.
“Thank you Mr.Chrysós” he said as he headed back towards the door. Before fully exiting he paused a nervous look on his face before he began. “Also I was wondering if we could discuss that pay raise”
“Yes yes” Mr.Chrysos said his tone suddenly cold “We can discuss this when you come back Friday. Now hurry before I change my mind”
“Yes thank you sir” the young man said hurrying out of the office.
