Title: Farewell


Wrinkled flesh

My aged mentor. Master of the light. Grindewald's bane.

Pulsing blood

The great Dumbledore.

Beating heart

So much have you done. Whispering. Whispering to the ear of the ministry. Held on a golden pedestal. Poisoning the world against me.

Pulsing

Foolish. An ancient heart beating for those imbeciles. Those who would… did turn against me.

Beating

The Headmaster of Hogwarts. Caretaker of children. After all, is this castle not your sanctuary?

Moving

But what of Riddle, wizard? Of Potter? Of Black? Of Malfoy? Of Pettigrew? How you have failed!

Thumping

Murderer.

Nerves sending

Your empire built on the blood of children. Children taken from this hallowed domain. Your empire. An empire of blood.

Muscle contractions

How many have you sacrificed, oh savior?

Slowing, sluggish

How many destroyed for the sake of the populace?

Thumping

Tainter of true innocence.

A spasm

Why am I the one called the scourge of the earth?

Muscles twitch

Foolish. So foolish.

Throat, opening and closing

The world is full of cowards such as they. They who will use anything to escape the barbaric reality they have created.

Gasping mouth, air

But not now. Not anymore.

Inhale, exhale

They are blind, my mentor. Now, so are you. And all will fall.

Croaking soundlessly

The ones you have destroyed. Our shadows walk this earth. Shades and nightmares. Our ghostly touches on your skin.

Thumping

You made me, killer. Moulded, twisted for your will.

Sigh

Made me what I am.

Thump

And now old man, your time runs out.

Finger twitch

Vengeance is mine.

Cool skin

Death will not wait. Won't bend to your will.

Glassy Eyes

Farewell.
