Master? Part 2

"Can you be my master please" blurted out Adam as he fell onto his knees.

His actions were no longer being judged by pride or arrogance and Adam submitted to the weird man in the hopes that he would accept him as a disciple.

The weird man was silent for a while, before answering with an answer that shocked Adam.

"Absolutely not, how did you even find this place and me. I am just trying to live the few years left I have of my life alone" answered the weird man.

Adam looking up could see that the man had a confused expression which then changed to one of anger.

"Did they send you? Even after so long is he still after me" roared the stubby man as he suddenly appeared before Adam and held him up in the air from his neck.

Adam, who was struggling to breathe in the man's grip, knew that fighting back would be useless as he saw rage, sadness, sorrow and regret all burning in the old man's eyes.
