Sometimes we all fall down. The time always comes when we must pay the
piper. Today is that day. I can't believe that they actually trust me. They
think that I can help them. Ha! No one can help them. They are going to
have to face what's coming without trying to hide behind a demigod of their
own making. I never asked for or wanted the weight they so willingly placed
upon the shoulders of a child.
But then, I was never really a child was I? I was a weapon in training. I
was a way for you all to shift responsibility from yourselves, to sweep
everything under a rug and forget about it. Well today is the day you face
your consequences. Today it's your turn. What will you do when you see that
things aren't what you thought they were, that there's no one to do your
dirty work for you? Will you run? Will you hide? Or will you merely stick
your heads in the sand (as always) and keep expecting things to have
changed the next time you emerge. Such naïveté, always expecting a fairy
tale ending: good triumphs over evil then lives happily ever after. I'm too
jaded to believe that it will ever happen. Once perhaps while I played the
optimistic and willing victim I might have believed it. Now however I know
better. My eyes are finally open. You're on your own. What power and
talents I have are mine; you will reap the benefits no longer. I have a few
scores to settle first though. I wouldn't want to leave without collecting
on what I'm owed. I think I'm gonna enjoy my new life. Just remember, I am
what you made me...
At number four privet drive, there is the sound of a door exploding. Three
flashes of unearthly green light, then all is silent.
