Knight in Tarnished Armor
What greater reward is there than power?
I can think of nothing more enjoyable than
knowing you are in control, especially over a worthy opponent.
Being certain you have won before the end,
sometimes even before the beginning.
The sweet, sweet taste of victory is intoxicating, I crave it nightly.
A certain underling has granted me my "fix" since youth.
I would have tossed him aside years ago if not for one thing,
he can beat me.
It it this reason and this reason only why I derive
so much pleasure from out little "scuffles."
I have pushed the boy beyond his boundaries and he is better for it.
Yet his mind keeps his full potential hidden,
I am the only catalyst he has.
If not for me he would be nothing.
His burning hatred drives me even harder towards my goal,
freeing him of the shackles that bind him and seeing if I am still
the better man.
He and I are endless sources of competition for each other,
I dread the day that one of us prevails.
For in besting his opponent, he destroys not one life but two.
