Five thousand years is a long time.
"What did he say…? At the end?"
In my time I've fought in most of humanity's major wars. I have killed and nearly been killed….. The rivers of blood don't bother me. After all, if someone fires a pestilence at you; you gotta fire back.
"He broke his promise….."
No, it's the all the Skullduggery that bothers me
"You lied about the amulet!"
The ravaged stare of the Betrayed.
The extended index finger of accusation.
"You could have saved him!"
I squirm under it. I lie under. I regret under it.
"Nouda could have been stopped without him dying!"
Five thousand years is a long time.
"No! He could have been saved!" Sob
Sometimes I wonder
if they're worth it, you know?
"You lied….."
Ptolemy. Nathaniel.
"You lied."

"You could have saved him."
Just Maybe…..
"Nouda didn't matter."
Humanity. Human. Spirit. Demon. It must be some sort of sick cosmic joke.
"You lied….."
Five Thousand years is a long time.
"Foul Demon….."
