There is not a single thing in my life that I regret. Not my childhood, spent mostly picking on anyone even the slightest bit weaker than I was, not my teenage years, when I skipped class more than anything and spent more time in detention for fights than anyone else, and not the time after I deserted Garden, joining my sorceress' side and terrifying the world at her command.
If anything, I am proud of what I have done. I have reminded the world that it will never be able to rest peacefully, I have shown them horror once again, I taught them to fear and respect those with power as they would fear and respect a god.
None of this went unrewarded, of course, I was granted my every wish, every single one of my wims became reality. I had power, richess, the command over on army of thousands and, most important of all, I had her love.
People say that she was heartless and that she was cruel, but none of that was true, she was simply lonely, as I used to be, strong, with dreams that seemed to be so far out of reach. But with her, I no longer alone and neither was she. I exacted her commands and she loved me as only she could, as only I wanted, as only I deserved.
Nowadays, people don't speak of her anymore, they have already forgotten her, banished the memories of fright to the furthest recesses of their minds. They have largely forgotten about me as well, but not completely, because defeated though she might be, I am alive and imprisoned though I might be, they will not kill me and I bide my time, I wait for the perfect opportunity and I then I will never allow them to forget me again.
