"Power," Mart muttered to himself. He wasn't fooling himself; in the end, it all boiled down to one word.
In war, leaders sought to win and demonstrate their "power."
Only power gave one a true place in the world, especially in this world where an individual could rise in rank if they had the ability and resources. But not social or economic rank, rather a rank of power capable of destroying and deforming the environment, a power that depended solely on the individual. Mart understood this even more when he finished reading the book "Demonic Hearts"; but he also understood that there would always be enemies, that one mistake could end him, but as long as he was strong, he would survive.
"Protect and enjoy. I am ambitious, now more than ever," Mart understood as he watched the armies engage in bloody and deadly combat.
