"You lack sense, Agorath."
"Perhaps I may lack sense, but maybe you are the one whom lacks understanding. Tell me, James, what do you think is more important? Making sense, or being able to understand?"
"You're a fool. & that's King to the likes of you."
"Pity. Here I was, following the belief we were friends. I suppose I was misinformed."
"Were. That is merely but past tense. You are now simply a subject to me."
"More pity. My life certainly feels of worth." Agorath retorted with dry sarcasm, & began making his exit from the King's Court.
"...& one thing before you go." King James said in an eerie, brooding tone.
"Hm?" Agorath stopped in his tracks.
"Be mindful of your surroundings. The people of today have grown a distaste for magic." King James warned, while beckoning the door. Agorath nodded, leaving the court.
