Daedalian Capital, The Glorious and Enlightened Centre of the Esteemed Dominatus

His Majestic Emperor Validus the Thirty-Second , Sacrosanct of the Outer Spinwards Cluster, Imperarch of the Tarsonai and Serpanoi, Noble Legend of Bodacious Heroism, Profound Elixir of Resplendence clicked his pincers in displeasure and gesticulated with his three sceptres at his aide. They were in the Daedalian Throne Room, an expansive circular room of diamondoid arches and a vaulted ceiling which was adorned with a mural of the Emperor himself, a testament to his eternal genius and brilliance. Three diamondoid skylights scattered rays of amber sunlight throughout the room as the afternoon slowly dwindled.

The Emperor himself was wearing his platinum armour encrusted with gems, carvings and careful engravings which bore his titles. In his Pincers he held two diamond sceptres, with a third in his hand. The aide on the other hand, wore a regaling suit of red and golden, studded with various shiny baubles and beads. Several circular holes in the clothing were ringed with diamond, important gaps in the clothe for his eight eyes and vocal pipes. His titles were represented by an excessive array of circular medals which hung from his pincers.

“This is a serious discussion of the utmost importance that matters a great deal to all involved because the point in question is of considerable significance.” Spoke the Emperor, a sound most would attribute to that of a Pipe organ, a delicate series of sounds of various tones that flowed with a musical and slightly creepy edge.

“Indeed your most resplendent and majestic excellency, what exactly was the point?”

The Emperor beckoned with two of his Sceptres for his aide to move closer to his Throne Pool, the aide scuttled slowly in a diagonal path as it was forbidden to approach the Emperor directly. As he came closer, the Emperor held out his third Sceptre which was a diamond rod encrusted with other precious stones including a large rainbow coloured gem at it’s peak, the colours swirled and shifted in the light with an almost holographic resonance.

“There’s some dirt on the Sceptre of Exalted Glory, specifically the Gem of Dignified Refulgence. I demand the castigation of this dirt, that it be repudiated from my esteemed and virtuous presence. It cannot be tolerated for the briefest second, that one of my precious Sceptre’s is of all things dirty. What if word of this got out? Some plebeians, those who are not as expansive in intellect as their esteemed Emperor may somehow think it was my fault, that I had I was negligent and let my Sceptre become dirty, when in fact this is clearly a plot concocted to befoul me, a nefarious attempt I have defeated with my keen and acute vision! Restore this Sceptre of Exalted Glory, to it’s… glory and discover the culprits behind this indignation. I would of course reveal such plotters with the merest of searches, as a fountain of immense intuition and ability, but other pressing matters concern by immeasurably important time.”

“Of course your most resplendent and majestic excellency, this will be attended to right away. The Sceptre of Exalted Glory shall be sanctified it in the river of Exquisite calm immediately so that the splendour of the Gem of Dignified Refulgence may be restored.”

“This pleases me greatly Hespus, you may leave the bountiful joy of my presence to attend this matter.” The aide graciously took the Sceptre from the Emperor, wrapped it in dark silk that seemed to shy away from reflecting light and left the room by scuttling sideways as a required sign of deference to the Emperor.
