Riker's Wrath

A lot of people I used to call friends, who I used to spend my time with before it all fell apart do not understand my reasons to hate the prince with such intensity. Well, they do not know what I know. We were once two peas in a pod, he and I. Many moons ago, that is. That is no longer true, and I seek to make things right; to avenge myself; which is why I sent my trained sharks after Tristan.

Next, most people wonder what has gone down between us, but few people dare to ponder aloud. A long time ago it was storming in the dark night; and we were racing about underwater, hiding behind coral and inside anemones in an intense game of hide and seek merged with tag. That was also the day he met his true love, best friend and fiance, Marina. The problem was that though he was the only betrothed to her, he was not the only one who wanted her heart. I ached to possess it, to charm her like I did sharks, to fall in love and live out our happy ending; but he got to have her affections instead. And now he was paying for it.
