Power of M

chapter 11

11. The letter.

When Violet came to get Arthur in the morning she was horrified to see Arthur's body. After the guards cleaned the area and took the body away she looked at both of us and there were tears in her eyes. Self pity.

"Why?" she said choking slightly and then left the room making me feel even worse.

I went to my sleeping area to see a note lying on the dirty rag like sheet.

It said,

Dear Alex,

You might have noticed I was a lot closer with you than with your sister. I looked after you when you were a baby and I lied about the purple diamond being made by both me and your parents. It's true we made it together but they never gave it to me.

They left it one day, with no security and I stole it. I was a greedy human being and I wanted the power so I swallowed it. When they found out it was gone, they confronted me, took it away from me and fired me.

Obviously what I gave them was a fake because the real one was entering my blood stream and creating magic within me. They only realized that after I betrayed them to Twilight.

When I saw you being handed over to a dirty old woman out of the borders of Twilight, I regretted everything I did.

When you were born, your mom was busy with your father working on world changing experiments so I was the one who was with you most of the time. I don't think you have the slightest memory but we were so close you used to call me mom. Or that's what I thought you were trying to say. All you said was mm....mm and I convinced myself that, that was your attempt to say mom and I felt honored. But enough of dwelling on the past.

I'm writing this to say that you are a smart boy who will always make the right decisions. The only bits of advice I can give you is to learn from your mistakes and accidents happen for a reason. That way you will learn how to operate your powers and shape your own destiny.

Alex, I love you like a mother loves a son and you are a son who could never let his family down even if his life depended on it. People like you are rare Alex and I think you are someone very special.

I've made my mistakes and done some terrible things but I have learnt from my mistakes and you and I both know that killing me in the end was the right thing to do. But Alex you also need to know that sometimes there is no right or wrong policy. It depends on the way you look at it.

The perspective vision changes from individual to individual. Good and bad are simply illusions which the world has created to make life easier.

Even though magic is the most powerful symbol, murder is the hardest to acquire. But you are getting there. Don't ever fight the pain it gives. Communicate with it as if it is like a person and try and bond with it and understand it.

I love you a lot Alex and I know that if you master your powers we will meet again.

p.s. I'm sorry for stealing your burger

Love from,

Arthur

('Mm')
