Crater of Ambitions
“We stand at the precipice of greatness and you wish to worry about the ones beneath us?” a man wearing royal garbs stands across a table from a knightly figure adorned in light armor.
“You and I both said that what we do is for the ones beneath us and the ones who can’t fight like we can. Stop this foolish act brother,” the knight slams his hand onto the table not looking at the garbs the other wears.
“This is for them brother. If we achieve this greatness then we shall be able to do whatever they want of us and we will bring them true freedom,” the man in the garbs turns, walking towards a stone reaching for it.
“Don’t you get any closer to that damn stone brother!” as if his words controlled him the man in the garbs quickly stops and turns to look at the knight. “That stone will not save them from anything! You know that it won’t!”
“That is where you are mistaken brother. With this stone we… no, it seems there is no we anymore. With this stone I will be able to give those beneath me true freedom,” the man in the garb quickly turns back around his arm outstretched towards the stone.
“Take that stone brother,” the knight stands looking at the man in the garb. The knight grabs the handle of the guandao on his back and points it towards the man in the garb. “And we shall see who stands after.”
Laughter fills the room and the man in the garb turns to look at the knight materializing a magical weapon taking the form of a bow next to him. “Oh brother you always have been great with jokes,” the man in the garbs pulls back on the string of the magical bow no arrow in his hand.
“For once brother, I wish this was one of my jokes,” a protective aura surrounds the knight as he focuses his spirit and clears his mind.
In a second the man in the garb releases the magical string and a bolt of magic flies towards the knight. “I shall find you when I meet my end brother,” without checking the man in garbs turns back to the stone.
“You forget what we have learned, haven’t you brother,” before the man in the garbs turns around the knight stabs his guandao into his chest.
“NO! I WON’T HAVE MY PLAN FOILED NOW!” as his vision grows dark he reaches for the stone barely touching it. “I SHALL GIVE TRUE FREEDOM TO ALL WITH YOU BEIN-” before he could finish the stone pulses outwards as the knight and the man in the garbs disappear.”
