Born of unyielding lineage, knowing my heart was never simple. Is this why countless nights, wearied by your company, longed for the dawn's release? Unveiling your gleaming sword will surely blind me, but offer nothing more. You shared truths at your whim, believing honor to be the domain of fools. What respect I once held has now faded, as I anticipate the ultimate betrayal to bear witness. Your hours stretched into my days, eventually becoming years, as my life ebbed away. When nothing else held meaning, I kissed your hand, and with a bowed head, I called you master.
