Lone King on Throne in Empty Candlelit Hall

the prompt

[0-3s] Throne room. Massive. Empty except for Aldric sitting 
on his black throne. He has been sitting there since before 
dawn. No servants dare enter. Candles burn low. Camera slow 
approach down the long empty hall toward him.

[3-7s] Camera reaches him. His eyes are open but absent. He 
raises one hand and looks at it — searching for sensation, 
finding nothing. He closes his fist slowly. Opens it. The 
crown gem pulses once. He glances at it with something close 
to hatred.

[7-11s] A servant child enters by mistake — sees the king, 
freezes in terror. Aldric looks at the child. Something 
flickers across his face — a ghost of what he used to feel. 
His expression almost becomes human. Camera slow motion on 
that almost. The child runs. It disappears.

[11-15s] He is alone again. He stands, walks to the throne 
room window. Below — his empire, vast and prosperous, built 
on the bargain. He won everything. He places his forehead 
against the cold glass. Camera outside looking in — the most 
powerful man alive, pressed against glass like a prisoner. 
The crown gem pulses in the darkness behind him.
