Bloodmancer: Hero of Ruin
To be a hero is a curse, not a blessing. It's a simple truth Leon learned in the most painful of ways. He heroically slaughtered all the enemies of his president. Heroically purged those who opposed his master. And heroically brought doom to those who cried under the boot of the world's dictator. Leon saw the death of his family; a result of the events he set in motion himself. He saw his beloved city turn into ruins, scorched by the radioactive flames of the nuke he set off. His title was as cheap as his life. And in the only act of rebellion he could find, he heroically put an end to his life... And the world he helped to destroy. 'All of this happened... But why am I hearing a self-entitled voice calling me a failure?' Leon couldn't help but ponder. 'No, that's not it...' he quickly corrected himself. 'How can I hear anything if I evaporated in the wake of the nuke I detonated myself?'
Two faces
"Well, and that concludes the story," Leon said before heaving a long, tired sigh. "I hope it also answers your question from before. I didn't consider you a threat, because I didn't kill your teammates. I killed people who were out for your head," he added with a shrug.
The look in Natalye's eyes changed. She no longer glared down at Leon with clear fury all over her face. She no longer held her sword at the ready either.
And yet...
"Do you have any proof?" she requested. "I mean, your story does check out," she said, glancing over at the nearby corpses, "but even I could come up with something like this!" she claimed.
Leon took a deep breath in before releasing yet another sigh.
