La la la ... gotta update now
Ansem slowly made his way through the mountain, nearly shuffling along the path. His 'captor' was following him.
"You'll need to choose which direction you go, Ansem."
"Supreme Darkness or no Supreme Darkness, I'd still like to kick you ass."
"My, and after everything I've done for you?"
"I don't even know your name."
"Which is why you're still alive. I can't have people wandering around aimlessly…at least while they know my name."
"But I see you trust me enough to not dart off."
The cloaked man laughed. "Maybe. But I know you crave the darkness."
For five full hours they made their way up the mountain. Ansem's patience had fled long ago. The cloaked man groaned at Ansem's outburst.
"Does this mountain EVER end?" Ansem sighed, but looked relieved that the path was starting to level out. "God, finally. My legs were starting to hurt."
"Now look."
Ansem looked ahead. "…a fork in the road? So which way do I go?"
"It all depends on what you want to do. They take you to different places at first. One road will give you the Supreme Darkness... the other road... could also make you happy."
"What's down the other road?"
The cloaked man shrugged. "A normal life. A boring life..."
"Psh, I'm not leading a stupid boring life. I'd die of the boredom! Besides... this darkness can get me power..."
"It is power."
"Well then I'll be all powerful. I can have anything I want..."
"So choose Ansem."
"But…which one is which?"
"That is for you to figure out, Ansem."
"WHAT? Are you saying I might not get the Supreme Darkness you keep bragging about?"
"No...What I am saying is that at the end of each path…will lie your truest, most inner desire."
"...Why are you helping me out then."
"Hmph. Because when you get what you want, you're dead." He vanished into thin air.
Ansem looked between the two paths. They looked so similar... But going against his instincts, he took the left path.
