Henry went still for a moment. This was the first time Adyr had spoken about the incident, his encounter with the Mad Scientist, since that bloody day.
Since then, Adyr had never told anyone what happened. The only thing they knew was that the Mad Scientist, with unknown motivations, had attacked and killed many personnel in the Player Headquarters and kidnapped Adyr's family, turning the entire base into a massacre site.
Now, for the first time, Adyr was finally speaking about it, and Henry let him talk, staying quiet beside the ruined body that refused to break, lying there in torn flesh and drying blood.
"I will become a ruler. I will become a hero. I will become a monster. But I will do whatever is needed to gain that power." Adyr's flesh had now started to heal faster as the light from his Grace intensified around him, wrapping him in an even brighter glow that pushed back the shadows of the room.
