"You see, my dear, either option will fit, for my soul is as black and tainted, because such a way to power was the only one offered to me. I clawed my way from nothing, nothing at all. But there is power in blood, and there in the dark corners of the earth.
"If I live, I will continue to fight, and slay, and take strength from those I slay. You may burn the kingdom. I will gain strength from this as well. Or maybe we will throw you back, and I will gain strength from the slaughter that is sure to follow.
"Maybe you will slay me, and I will go to that dark place, and spend time unknowable to you clawing my way up an infernal hierarchy. But claw up it I will, and one day I will return to haunt you in a way you cannot imagine, bloated on souls and dread power.
"Or maybe you will take me into your service, and I will be your champion, for now, as long as you conquer and destroy. Or maybe I will just leave, and that will be that.
"In the end, it doesn't matter, because no matter what you do, I will prosper. You are impotent to me, girl.
"They sent me because they fear me, because they want you to kill me. They do not see that would be just another step in my rise." |
