The Eternal Emperor

Neptis and The Raven King stared at the large wall in front of them. Sandstone, if she wasn't mistaken. She glanced over at The Raven King and flashed a smile.

"Alright old man, foot here." She laced her fingers together.

The Raven King raised an eyebrow. "We could always walk in the front door, Lady War. Who would stop us?"

"Oh where's the fun in that? Shut up and climb."

The Raven King stepped up and launched himself off her hands as if he had wings, reaching the top of the wall with ease. Reaching down, he hauled Neptis up, who landed on the top with a soft thud.

Neptis laughed as she brushed sandstone dust off her robes. "See? Easy."

"Perhaps. But nature is never easy."

"You never like the fun words."

"Hmrh." His gaze looked over the gardens. "The view however, is lovely."

"Much better than the front door, right?" Neptis slid down the wall into the gardens. "Come on or I'll sniff all the flowers first!"
