"Yes, I
know... And that's why I'm leaving."
"What?!"
"You
obviously have no use for me. I came here to let you know the truth,
but now you have joined the one thing I sought to destroy. You did
not listen to my warnings, and you still continue to ignore them. If
that is the way you wish to govern these people, then you are no
better than Dogbert. I'm going home."
"Your home should
be here! I'll give you rank as my Senior Advisor. I'll let you live
in the Council Mansions. I'll do anything! Please, just don't leave
like this. You're information has been useful, and I wouldn't be
anywhere if it wasn't for you. Go if you must, but I will not change
my mind. It is best of the people, and it is best for the city."
"So
be it. Old friend, I pray that nothing will stop you from your
beliefs, as wrong as they are. You may run your government the way
you wish. I will not trouble you any longer. Goodbye."
And with that, he left. Iamthey opened the city gates for him, and he was off, never to return to HA again...or so it would appear. Matthew-Kaine and Iamthey would meet again in the near future, there was no doubt about that. But not where you would think...
