The time had come; Matthew had finally renounced the throne of his Empire, much to the chagrin of the Empress.
Aleissa had, months before, been converted into a Queen by the hordes of the Many, but managed to retain her identity and control over the rest so that a war could be avoided.
When Matthew intruded upon her territory, though, she ambushed her former ruler and sought to destroy him entirely.
But destroying someone who once was a good friend to her proved to be a vehemently difficult task.
As she remembered all the things he'd made possible for her, she saw his fearful face and stopped in her tracks; was this the face of the enemy now?
A somewhat experimental piece of artwork, to test the abilities of artists other than the usual.
