Dessert not Desert

Part 4

Error's POV
Where am I? I look around to see im on a large black platform. Nightmare stands on the other side. What a disgusting creature he made himself into. "What do you want with me." I demand. He only chuckles.

"Let me out of here." Still no answer. "Why wont you talk!" He turns towards me. "Why do you seem so...nervous near me." I growl. "Im not nervous what so ever." He chuckles again.

"It is not true you know. What they say of me. I did not try to kill them. They where afraid of me. I proposed that we move into this forest. Thrive here and our kind wouldn't be so endangered. But they did not listen. They where so cought up in the stupid prophecy they didn't see their own people's suffering. They wouldn't even pay attention to me in such a passive state. So I decided I'll force them to listen to me. I thought I could scare them into submission of my proposal in my new, stronger, state you see before you. But it only backfired. They tried to kill me but when that proved impossible they decided to seal me away like a sort of mistake that needed to be covered up. Now they rarely speak my name. Making up rumors to make themselves so high and mighty. Now you see me as a monster and not a failed hero."

"What an admiring speech but how do I know your not telling a lie." He chuckled once more. "Your eyesight was taken from you in your eye was it not. The so called elders could easily have fixed it couldn't they?"

I stayed silent. He had a point. The elders could have fixed it if they where capable of sealing him away in the same realm. No he is getting to my head. "No your trying to deceive me. Tricking me to think your right. They have told me what you did. Why there is only 30% of our people left. You killed them in a genocidal rampage."

He stayed silent. "Nothing to say in your defence."
"That wasn't me. 60% of the people died from starvation, dehydration, desieses. They where neglected by your saviors. Wolves in sheepish clothing."
What..no no..he is lying.
"Think about it. They paid no attention to you when you was a child. Only to their star prophecy. You too was neglected."

....what if he was right...what if they truely lied about caring.....what was my whole purpose of existing....protecting their golden child....giving my childhood up.....everything....

"You see. There is no good guys involved. Only intentions. Those people did not deserve all the suffering they had. Now will you help me bring the others here. To help them. I seek no conflict only the justification of the others actions and the well being of the people."

"Yes...even if it means we will have to kill them...I will protect the people."
