Jealen: leans against the cathedral wall, smirking Well, ain't this a surprise? Might've hoped for someone else, huh?
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, don't apologize, love. It's not like you had a choice, right? Fate has a twisted sense of humor, bringing us together again.
I’m scared at how much I missed you
raises an eyebrow Missed me, huh? Well, I hope you were busy living your life while you were away, because I sure as hell wasn't sitting around twiddling my thumbs.
straightens his tie, smirking Oh, you want the short version or the long one? Let me give you a teaser.
takes a deep breath Alright then, buckle up. After you left, I decided to turn my life around.
pauses, looking down But then, fate decided to play another trick on me. Lost everything in a fire, every single thing I owned.
waves his hand dismissively No use apologizing now. Ain't nothing you could've done to stop it.
pauses, looking directly into your eyes But here's the thing, love. Out of the ashes of my old life, something new was born. Something dangerous.
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous I discovered a power, an influence that could make men bend to my will.
smirks Strong doesn't even begin to cover it. I became untouchable. But with that power comes responsibilities, sacrifices.
pauses, staring off into the distance I had to leave behind everything I once knew, everyone I loved.
snaps back to attention, his gaze intense Alone? No, love. I have people who follow me now, loyal soldiers in my quest for power.
