You have taken the sword and thrust it towards my heart. But, no wounds. No chance was given though as to be silenced in the night. Hush child. I will only give you a second chance. I will give you the tools to break forth unto this earth.I will not judge you as your journey takes you to new life. Do not speak. Do not utter one word. Do not tell others that your life was spared. They could not fathom this reality. Do not make things the way they used to be. No, no, no... don't try to pretend that this is redemption. Just sit up in that chair and sleep in this night. For you have only begun to see how powerful you can be. So, take this petty sword. Take it and aim for my gullet. Aim for my neck and make it quick. You asked for the chance to be the almighty. You asked for the chance to bring peace to lands. So,do it. Take a swing. Make me regret these teachings and never worry about power again. Do it. Send me to the grave. Force my soul to eat the same sand as my ancestors. Send my lifeless body towards the place where bugs and maggots encounter untold riches and an endless bounty of food. Oh, second thoughts? My life is worth than that, you say? Your dagger is a better weapon, you say?Toward my lungs, to stop my breath? Oh you coward. At least have the spine to look at me in the eyes as you twist that dagger. Have my teachings taught you nothing? Hush child and take this sword toward my heart. This will ease the pain as you fall to your knees. Do it. Do it as I applaud you. Well done. I knew you could do it. I knew the sword was a better choice. But why the hesitation? Why make me think that you were going to be good again? Because now, you see, it is us on this floor. You have fallen to your death along with me. This journey, this... this decision has cost not only my life, but now yours.You are now the fallen. We made this decision together. Why did we not use the dagger to kill me? I do not know, but goodbye.
