"Per aspera ad astra"

"What a pleasure," I said turning and making myself on a smile.

I never liked him. I want to kill him. He changed my best friend. He convinced her to go in that..that..

I was such an idiot thinking I could work with him. Only seeing him was horrible.

"I know." He answered and stepped in the light.

He was in a light grey shirt and black pants. He had boots like the prince and he moved so quietly I almost didn't hear him getting close to me.

"We need to talk." He said and jumped.

He scared me. He is so quiet.

"No, we don't," I said turning and wanting to get in the closet.

"Yes, we do. This all is getting pointless. You are hiding something. You don't want to say what. You did not see Dort since that day. You are avoiding him. You are avoiding everyone. I want to know why." He looked at me with dark eyes and I stepped a little back.

Why is he acting like this? He wasn't like this.

"What happened to you?" I whispered and met his gaze.

"Mines happened. That is what. You did not step inside but everything is bad. People are dying; they can't take that anymore. Towns around us are getting their rights. They are killing soldiers, they are fighting and what we do? Nothing. Not a single thing. They don't want to take this anymore. Things are getting heatened. And the conference will be a grand finally."

My brain emptied. I didn't have an idea what is happening. What is happening in towns? Why are people fighting? Are they killing soldiers? They fight for their rights, and I walk in the castle and enjoy. Shame washed all over me.

"What are you saying?" I whispered.

"We will fight, and a little snake," he touched my hair, "you will help us." He moved one wisp, and I stepped back, frightened.

He is not normal. He talked like he is talking about the weather, and not about killing hundredth of people. They wanted to fight I realise but that much of a killing. I wasn't ready to that.

"No. I won't." I said and stepped further from him.

He moved from me and sat on a chair. He put his right leg over right and touched his boot.

What is he doing?

"I agreed to help with informations. Never, and I mean never I agreed to help you kill hundreds of people," my eyes saw fingers resting on the closet doors. They were shaking. "I want you to leave," I said suddenly showing at doors.

He didn't move.

"We are not finished." He said and took something.

My hands wrapped around the handle when I realised what is that. Knife. I was sick of that thing. I maniacally touched my neck. What is happening?
