Story
“A King is unaware that he is royalty until he is no longer so.
And a King is also unaware of the power that he holds; the power to determine fate itself.
Those who serve are aware, and they sacrifice themselves in hopes to protect and advise. Yet, a King is not aware of the reasoning behind this sacrifice. He sees no action, therefore he can not comprehend.
However,
I can.
I see it all.
I too, hold that power and I am aware of it.
And I act on it, as I may be the only one who can.
Yet, I am also aware,
that this strength will be what pushes me down into the Styx I’ve been wandering so closely to.
I know that this power...
It may very well be my end.
So then, what does that mean for me?
Even with such knowledge and power, will I still be a tool misused?
Am I also just another sacrifice?”
