Darkness.
Silence.
No motion.
Only the dead rested there.
A grave it was...
-Do you know what has been done? A woman's voice broke the silence.
Not the actual silence though, her voice could only be heard in the man's head.
-I am asking you! Do you know what happened?
-Of course I know woman! You keep underestimating me after so many years.
-Shall I guess that it was your move after all?
-You are not the only one moving in the shadows dear!
-You knew already?
-I created you remember? Of course I knew that you had contacted her.
-And you ordered him to stop her?
-I never order! It was his decision, he was a judge and he made his call.
-And look where his call led us...
-Fate and destiny always have their own plan dear.
-Don't call me that! I am not your dear since the night you...
-Be grateful I only staked you then else you would only be a shadowy memory by now.
-That youngling cannot replace our students!
-You mean your student?
-She was his student not mine...
-Do you really believe I don't know that you have been reaching her mind and poisoning her thoughts? Do you really believe that my student would have failed to teach her?
-You call this a success then?
-He underestimated his opponent and paid the ultimate price, yet this youngling has the potential as it was proven.
-He will not follow your path and you know it.
-My path is obsolete nowadays, maybe he will find a new path to follow.
-He killed them both, he succumbed to frenzy and diablerised them and you put your faith in him?
-I put my faith nowhere except me and my creator.
-Look where your faith led us!
-Exactly where we should be my dear!
-Both our students died in one night, noone is out there to monitor and keep the balance in this city, that creature James is now free to do as he pleases and the youngling is under the control of that shadowy woman. He only cares to run behind that ghoul's skirt!
-Worry not about James my dear he is not free at all and as for the ghoul I am kinda glad that the youngling kept his feelings beyond death. It reminds me of someone I knew centuries ago, someone that loved a woman and gave her everything. Someone that still loves that woman and not the abomination that she has become!
-May I remind you that this woman never really wanted to follow your path and the moment you gave her immortality you actually killed her?
-I know that! That woman repaid me with treason yet here she lies near me continuing to plot against me but my dead, black heart reminds me of the reasons I loved her!
-That woman is dead! Dead! You hear me?
-Loud and clear, dear! She may be dead but I should remind you to thank her for being alive at this very moment.
-...
-Nothing poisonous to say dear?
-Since when...
-I knew about your little plan from the very first moment you contacted Nansy.
-Yet you let her do my deed.
-I told you before, I do not order, everyone makes his choices and ultimately pays for them.
-So you didn't send Narssel after her?
-I didn't have to. He knew his obligation damn well!
-You could have stopped that bloodshed.
-I could have, yes.
-Then why?
-Because you put it so nicely to her, the circle must continue, what doesn't change dies.
-You wanted him too?
-I saw a potential in him and a possible future outcome.
-The gift of the ''sight''?
-Do you really believe dear that Narssel was your choice to create and train?
-What do you mean?
-I chose him for you as you chose Nansy for him.
-But-but that boy was my choice?
-Was he?
-Damn you! Damn you to hell!!!
-My plan didn't work exactly as it should have but the final outcome came almost true.
-Do you plan to call him here?
-I don't need to, he will come to me eventually.
-How are you so sure dear? He may as well follow the road of his shadowy mentor.
-Because, dear, unlike you who are staked in a coffin for an eternity, I am free to move as I please. The fact that I remain in this cellar with you is because I enjoy your silent agony and I really like letting my enemies do their moves without fearing me. May I also remind you that unlike you I have been taught from our first one the power to move and act without even moving?
-You are not in torpor, said the woman afraid, you are slumbering...
-Exactly my dear. I never slept, my enemies just didn't have to know about it. And now please be quiet, I require all my focus to acompany that youngling in his long journey among the ranks of the damned!
-DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU!!!! She screamed in silent agony.
