Before I stood bathed in magic. You remained still fixated on me, unable to peel your eyes away from me.
The look on your face was one of shock, bewilderment, and most importantly fear.
But soon that was replaced by anger.
(A truth within a lie)
"Why are you here? To humiliate me further. I am a laughing stock even among the servants. What more do you wish to take!"
I heard the rage pouring from your heart. It was spoken towards me, but it was not directed at me.
Those words, that venom was directed at yourself, fueled by your father and brother. You felt weak, too weak to fight back. So you lashed at me, not to fight back.
No you knew there was no way you could win.
You wanted to be be retaliated against.
You wanted to be struck down.
You wanted it to end.
"I will not apologize for my behavior when we last met. I have need of you, expectations for you," you heard me say.
"So what," you replied.
"I need someone capable of helping me, assisting me in my work," I said to you.
"Why me," you said glaring at me.
