How long has it been since you first became a thorn in our side?
I know precisely when. I was thirteen. It's not like I kept track or anything.
But I watched, time and time again as Veero and you butted heads.
How you stole my brother from me and whisked him off to Osrona.
How you defeated a man that I considered unstoppable to do it, too.
Sure, he was returned safely to us, but it didn't last long.
It was only a few years later that you took him away from us permanently.
The pain was raw and visceral, and while I had felt it plenty times before as
I watched the older ones drop one by one, all to stop Nyx?
This was different. That was my older brother.
He claimed I was inferior to him.
I looked up to him.
I wanted to kill you. I wanted to offer you on a silver platter to Naysien in revenge for Veero.
I'm not a difficult person.
You came after me, time and time again. To arrest me, to offer me salvation through the stars.
Fuck your stars. Fuck your salvation.
I was ready for you, as soon as I heard you threaten those who flock under her wing.
They're children. Just like I was a child when you took my brother from me.
So I said to myself, never again.
And though I could not fight you directly, I did manage to win you.
To win the right to kill you myself at last, and to offer my amazing Dragon patron the ultimate gift.
The murderer of Veero Naysien.
But you just don't stop taking from me, do you?
At first, when I realized what happened - how I would now never get my revenge, I was aghast.
You take, and you take. You took my brother - twice! You took my health - twice!
Surely you couldn't take my revenge too, right?
But you did.
You snapped it right from under my fingers.
But, slowly and surely I have come to a conclusion.
You were obsessed with me. Me, me, me.
You were willing to upset the Voice of Moxtli to capture me.
You were crazy, you were losing it.
I put you there. I pushed and pushed until I lived in your head rent free.
And when it came time to pay the pied piper?
You'd rather kill yourself than die by my hand.
In the drug fueled haze I find myself in, I concluded a single thing:
At least I watched you die.
For Veero. For Naysien.
