  Summary

  The Knight ascends and takes their place at the apex of the Pantheon. The former ruler is subsumed.

  SUBSUME: "to include or place within something larger or more comprehensive : encompass as a subordinate or component element"

  They both get used to it. Maybe too used to it.

  Summary

  Life has been quaint and uneventful since the curing of the plague. The rest it offers is a welcome change, one Hornet had intended to bring about.

  Then, there is a cave flooding. The dismal, pitch black waters of the Abyssal Sea begin to rise.
