How you have changed, Darken Rahl.
The last time I saw you,
I had just saved your life.
You told me that I couldn't know
How happy you was
That I had escaped death.
I know it was you
That sent that Mord-Stih
After Renn and I.
But if I had been killed,
You would have died as well.
You gave me as much of a "thank you"
As you will ever give me.
You told me that I couldn't know
How happy you was
That I had escaped death.
I replied,
"I wish I could say the same for you."
Laying on your back on the ground,
Clad in filth instead of royalty,
You smiled at me
And seemed happy by my wit,
Genuinely happy.
I never thought
That I would see you act
In such a "human" manner.
Then, you grabbed the Keeper's arm
And created a rift
That allowed you to escape.
You mocked Richard.
Then, we saw nothing but your back.
Now I am seeing you again
In a totally different state of mind.
You ordered Cara to kill me,
Just so that she can prove
Her loyalty to you.
Is this my reward
For saving your life?
What did you do to Cara, demon?
What did you do to her
In order to rebreak her?
How can you stand
To look at yourself
In the mirror
After what you did to Cara?
How can someone
Be as evil as you?
How can someone like you
Ever claim not to serve the Keeper?
Blood red is your garment.
Cruelty is your mantle.
You are once again
The person that you have always been.
You are once again
The person that you will always be.
I was a fool to ever think
That you could actually change
For the better.
I was a fool to ever think
That you could be different.
How you have changed, Darken Rahl.
It's as if you're a totally different person.
