Series: Imperial Title: Unfortunate Reminders Rating: PG Event: 110 word Reverse Hurdles Word Count: 110 words Summary: Things take a while to sink in for Kaddar.
He is Emperor of Carthak now.
It stays most within his mind when he speaks with his mother, and sees his uncle’s mannerisms and features.
It stays in his mind when he visits Lindhall’s chambers and instead of spending a peaceful afternoon at a table covered in parchment, he spends it making stressful conversation with his private group of nobles and part of the Tortallan delegation.
It stays in his mind when he scribbles across scrolls and eyes his uncle’s ministers as much as they eye him in council meetings.
This sticks with him, resonating through his thoughts and appearing whenever he closes his eyes.
His uncle is a Stormwing.

Oh, I love this so much! The two parallel phrases at the 'start' and 'end' are fantastic, as Kaddar makes the transition from his shock and horror to realising that he has taken over and becomes his new office. Awesome!

Thankyou! I wanted something that would carry through on both sides of reading, so I'm glad that paid off
