The Two Paths

Devastation washed over Brutus as he learned how his name was etched in the annals of history.

'Brutus the Coward.' 

The weight of this title struck at his pride and psyche in the most shameful and hurtful way. A man of pride, he couldn't fathom how things had taken such a turn.

For a brief moment, he was left in disarray, grappling with the reality that instead of being hailed as a liberator or a hero who did what was necessary, the world deemed him a traitor. 

The burden of this ignominious label weighed heavily on Brutus, casting a shadow over the very ideals and aspirations he had once fought for.

"Is that true? Is what you said the absolute truth?" he asked Kahn with a desperate look on his countenance.

Kahn in response, nodded silently.

"Why should I believe you?! All of this could be an illusion!" rebuked the Necromancer Hero.

BOOM!!

But the very next second, Kahn let out his true aura of darkness. 

Gasp!
