Horrah! Another update! now I should work on mine hehehe
"Let me go!" Ansem weakly struggled against his thick bindings as he was slammed against a wall and chained there.
"Some Seeker of Darkness you are, young Ansem. You 'rule' over Hollow Bastion, you're called a 'Sage'...but you can't even break free?"
Ansem kicked at the cloaked man, who only laughed in return.
"You truly are pitiful."
"My brother will figure out a way to stop you."
The man laughed again. "Your brother is pre-occupied."
Ansem shivered. He was stuck in a dark room with gleaming machinery and chains everywhere. Thick mist was billowing from what Ansem thought to be a door. But things looked gloomy. His hope of escaping had long since vanished.
"Why am I so important? What if I die? Would I ruin whatever plans you have?"
"Ah, now if I tell you that, you might just go and kill yourself. But your death could always be in vain."
Ansem narrowed his eyes and struggled against his bindings again. "Let me go!"
"Dear Ansem, your efforts are useless." He walked towards Ansem and cupped the man's face in his gnarled hands. Ansem cringed instantly. "Why defy me? I could help you gain the power you've always wanted…"
"…The power I've always wanted? What on earth are you talking about?"
"Supreme Darkness. It exists, Ansem. It can be found, obtained by you. You can own it, do whatever you like with it."
Ansem swallowed. It was fearful…but in a way, so tempting…He had always wanted to be powerful. So powerful that everyone would fear him. But power leads to corruption. And he had a quest to finish, his brother was depending on him.
"What do I have to do to get this…Supreme Darkness."
"Nothing really…it'll be painless. And after words, you'll feel so wonderful…You'll be invincible, completely unstoppable against anyone who dare opposes you! Do you want this wonderful power?"
Ansem looked down at the floor. What do I have to loose? He nodded. "Yes, I do. I want this power."
