Want
_____________________________________________________________
The shout rang out as the swordsman ran towards the transport stones, printed poncho
flapping behind him, ridiculous hat askew. He watched him go, watched Eris allow his leaving,
a smirk on her face. You couldn't care less. If he dies, you don't have to pay him.
From now on, I'll do what I
want.
It made sense. Eris was strangely stingy at times. Especially with praise towards him.
He was nothing to her but a copy, a replacement. Much as the chimera had been. That had been
a surprise.
From Now on,
I'll do what I want.
The tension between the two had been more than between follower and former follower.
More like between former lovers, and judging from the chimera's hatred it had been when he had
been human ... and looking enough like Rezo to be used as a surrogate. Just like Kopii
himself. But he had denied her just as the Rezo, something a young, hormonal student might
not have been able to do.
From now On,
I'll do what I want.
The chimera had obviously found his own allies and his own way, separate and apart from
Rezo for all of Eris's meddling. Except for his form he almost seemed happy. The swordsman
had also chosen his path, breaking free from their common mistress. It would good if he, the
Kopii were to do the same.
From now on, I'll
do what I want.
An why not? What hindered him from doing as he pleased? Eris? Certainly not, he owed
her nothing, not even his creation. That was Rezo's doing, not hers. From his birth, she had
tried to dominate and manipulate to her will, trying to make him a replacement. No such
luck. He was his own creature, not hers.
From now on, I'll Do
what I want.
Rezo? No. He hadn't asked for creation and certainly not creation as a copy. And Rezo
was dead, what hold did he have except his noisome memory? None at all. Even the chimera
agreed with him on that.
From now on, I'll do What
I want.
Ah yes, the swordsman had a point. But what was his will? Was it Lina's death? The
surpassing of Rezo? Those two must be done, yes. But not like Eris wanted. Not as revenge
for Rezo, but as a test. The ultimate test.
From now on, I'll do what I
want.
Screw Eris's plans. He was Kopii Rezo, no longer her tool, no longer her agent of
revenge. He was himself and he would have no master. With a clench of will he shattered the
ruby crystal's bond.
From now on, I'll do what I
Want.
Yes. You are right, my friend Zangulus. From now on, I'll do as I
want.
