Goodnight

Ruler

I feel alone, even when I'm surrounded by people. Loneliness is a strange feeling.
They only surround me because I'm useful to them. They are useful to me too.

My crown wears heavy on my head. It serves as a constant reminder to who I should be, who I am. The crown I wear is one of silver and gold, filled with rare gems. It's a crown of worth, power and the crown of a leader.
I am not a leader, I am not worthy, I am an imposter. I am ready to kill.
I was born with a crown on my head, I had killed my mom during birth. My dad died during war when I was 10.

They put me on a throne, put a crown on my head. Pretended I did anything. I was too young to do anything, my advisors were the ones in control.
For years I had been using them to give me the greatest things I could think of and they were using me to complete their own interests. They wanted war, they got war and I wanted luxuries, I got luxuries.

Today this will all end, no more. For years I had been planning this, I would become the sole ruler on this day. For years I had been asking for certain items to be found.
These items would be their downfall, and I would be on top.

Today was my 21st birthday. Everyone was here to witness me, I had specifically ordered that no one would be missing. Thus, everyone raised their glass to me, everyone would drink the wine.
The ones who took a big sip fell first, no screams, no anything. They just fell to the ground. Screams started breaking out from panicked guests, but those started thinning as more people fell to the ground.
Only the ones who didn't drink would be left. I stood up, looked around. About 20 people were left. I unsheath my sword, my boots klikking on the ground. The fear in their eyes was almost amusing as they realized I was heading over to them, ready for the kill.
In a smooth movement I decapitated one, stabbed another in the heart. The other guests were in shock, some uncovered a hidden dagger that I hadn't allowed to be inside. I went for them first, they would never be a match for me, I had been training for this.
Their resistance would be futile, eventually it was just me alone, as always, surrounded by dozens of bodies. I couldn't help but let out a laugh.

I had done it, I had finally become a God.
No one would ever be able to kill me, I had completed the requirements for immortality.

This day would mark the day of a new era.

The era of me, the only ruler.
