Merglan stood alone in his old friend’s bedroom, the room where he tried so hard to make Ivan see the truth. He cursed himself for being so foolish as to think that the stubborn old man would see things his way. Placing his hand over the wooden box he’d put on Ivan’s table, he went to pick it up. Stopping just before touching the wood, Merglan restrained himself. He walked to the window where he’d seen his old friend standing and looking out over the castle walls. What was he hoping for? Merglan asked himself.

Killdoor’s consciousness sounded in his mind, You finally did the right thing.

What, by plunging him into madness, then putting him out of his misery? Merglan asked.

By ridding your thoughts of what he could do for you. He was broken, weak and powerless.

He was my friend, once. I owed him a chance at least, a real chance to help us.

I did like feeling him being crushed in the end, making him think he was about to escape with his dead dragon brought back to life. It was genius, Killdoor chuckled.

Thank you, I did hope that illusion I put on the dragon would’ve convinced him she really was back. Oh well, the time she had with him, however brief, was important. And you’re right, I should’ve done that a long time ago.

Now we can turn our attention back to what really matters, Killdoor said.

Merglan reached for the window’s shutters, pulling them in and latching them shut. He turned and glanced at the ceiling above him. Encased into the stone above him, Merglan admired the collection of crystals he’d harvested from Eastland. They hung suspended in the ceiling of Ivan’s old room. Drawing on their power and feeling its swelling inside him, Merglan took a deep breath, focusing on what mattered most to him and to Killdoor. Exhaling, he said aloud, “Total domination.”

He cut the influx of energy off before it consumed him, sending him into a rampage as it did when he took in too much. Glancing at the box, Merglan whispered, “Goodbye my old friend,” as he left the princely room.
