Prologue
In a very dark somewhere in Autozam
"He is back." A tall man with an expression of malice aggravated by his sinister eyes spoke. Judging from his expression, he was not happy for the return.
"Yes master. Word has it that he has awakened and he will be arriving soon." The humble servant was trembling as he spoke. He knew of his master's temper. News such as this would not be received with a joyous welcome.
"Why are you trembling? Are you not happy for our hero's return?"
"I am sorry master. I would be happy for that if you are happy.. master" It was almost a whisper.
"I.. I am happy. I am thinking what would be the best gift for our hero. Would you have an idea?" His eyes gleamed like fire, dark and consuming.
"I wouldn't know master." The servant was trembling even more. It was one of his qualities, he always tremble for no reason at all. Probably due to lack of magnesium and thiamine.
"Ah my poor servant. Our hero needs a perfect gift, and that gift would be….ME."
The servant was dumbfounded. He never imagined him to be sort of queer." You, master. I don't think he fancies the same sex"
"YOU INSOLENT FOOL" His voice was like thunder. He wondered why he was able to tolerate this ignoramus servant. For that he was once again reminded that no matter how dimwitted his servant is, his loyalty is by far unrivaled in whole Autozam.
"B-b-but master, you said…"
"Every hero needs a.."
"A welcome, but master I think his father has made one for him."
The tall man with an expression of malice which was aggravated by his sinister eyes tried not to take the miserable life out of his humble servant. " Of course not you idiot. I hate him why would I give him a warm welcome. Have I gone nuts?"
"In that case, why would you give him a gift."
"Why am I talking to you? A simpleton like you would not understand a great visionary like I who have been the greatest mind this cursed planet ever has. I would give him the greatest gift fit for a hero. I would give him the best or in this case the worst villain. Every hero needs a villain, after all."
The trembling servant did actually tremble. This time it was not due to lack of magnesium and thiamine. He knew his tall master with an expression of malice which was aggravated by his sinister eyes. He knew he can turn Autozam upside down. After all, he is indeed the greatest mind Autozam ever has. However somehow that mind became hell-bent and twisted.
