Chapter Ten: One Last Riddle
I do love you, brother.
I was so angry at first…
So furious, so trapped,
Feeling betrayed and hurt..
But I was convoluted,
Forced into this change.
All these years boiling,
Little humanity remains.
Another hero comes
He brought his brother, too.
Dean's so protective…
He reminds me of you.
You know all too well
That nothing good lasts.
We will always be haunted
By our tattered past.
Do you remember that day?
Do you remember the fire?
Do you remember how we
Suffered by a King's desire?
I'm so tired, Icarus.
So frayed, and now again
He comes around the corner
And again, he finds their end.
There's so much blood
Wrapped around my spool.
I used to wonder why
We were made into fools.
But it doesn't matter now.
I'm trapped, barely alive.
I'm so tired of trying
To keep these heroes alive.
I hope you know,
My anger is gone.
I hope you understand
This last little song.
I'm so tired. So worn.
But there must be a loophole
A chance in those moments
When his belly his full.
I will wind around his ankles.
I will crawl around his neck.
I will make the Minotaur pay
For the families he has wrecked.
It will take every fiber I possess
To wind so tightly around
That monster that should
Have been buried in the ground.
I should have moved sooner.
But I hope you never forget-
I love you. I love Dad.
There will be only ashes left.
My riddle is done.
I've done my last deed.
It's just a shame that
It took so long to succeed.
