Standing there in the adjacent to the king you saw that figure, their form obscured by a hood and cloak. Yet beneath it you could sense death and despair.
"Congratulations you'll finally have a purpose. You be able to save the kingdom. You'll end the hunger of our subjects, pay back our debts, end the endless battles, defeat our enemies, refill our treasury, and fortify our walls. You'll be a hero to us all!" The kind Said with a mischievous grin.
"What?" You replied confused by the notion.
"All of this in exchange for becoming the Dark One's servant!" The king said with a laugh.
Suddenly the rest of the room began to break out in laughter.
"Imagine that, saving the entire kingdom in exchange for, you," he laughed more, "I couldn't believe it all that for a worthless piece of garbage like you."
Your heart sank low, you were being traded away. You knew they were all just happy to get rid of you. The rest was just icing on the cake.
The figure removed their hood and you saw the face of the one who would own you.
A shiver ran down your spine.
