Destiny Challenge: 3. The Person They Hate
Rules: 200 words, one character
It was challenging to be an avid gambler and not garter a bit of negative attention, but he dealt with it in stride. He had always been an amiable fellow, compromising and easily placated, content with his life and comforted by his own successes. It was ironic then, that the one person to ever truly anger him should exist in his life after he had lost the ability to hate.
Unlike the other members of the organization, who either were polite and formal or had the sense to avoid his extended company, Xigbar thrived on delving into his head and twisting his thoughts. A simple chat became a puzzle game of hidden meanings, all hints to knowledge he possessed that others did not. And he had no plans of sharing. It was not a game of chance or skill, but of secrets, and Luxord was losing.
A game designed to be won only by he who knew the rules, Xigbar never let anything slip when they spoke, hiding behind false words and predatory grins. Luxord prided himself on his own wordplay, but even he could not decipher the riddle in Xigbar's words.
And Luxord hated what he could not decipher.
