The darkness of the past

He thought he had seen everything. He thought he had heard everything. He thought he had felt everything, but nothing could have compared to all the things he experienced when he finally heard his abusive Overlord/Master uter the words,"You are now free from me and my kingdom do as you wish but don't blame me if something happens to you." He never thought he would ever hear those words especially on his birthday. it was the best gift he could have asked for during his immortal life.
