Stealth-specialized boots were silent on the hard floor as he slowly steps his way over to the disgraced Dominus, chained to a wall, nothing left but the once glorious and blood-trodden life that had now been reduced to nothing more than some murderer in a cage.
( This monster deserves it. )
He stands but a few meters away from the much larger Cabal, his face and posture blank but his stare DRILLING into the hopeless slitted irises that would, at one point during that accursed war, probably reflect his own pain and fear. His empathy reached out to many things, felt the forces and feelings of everyone and everything around him, even seeing into the despair that Ghaul’s soul held now.
But sympathy? Oh, no. There was none to be given. None to be deserved.
He had dreaded when he was called to guard the Dominus for a shift, why must I face the very being that ripped my essence right out of my body, he thought. But then he realized that he could tell Ghaul what had happened during that Lightless time. The pain. The terror. The uncertainly and near hopelessness that had swept throughout the Solar System. His pain, his terror, his disconnection from a world that he was in harmony with, left to do nothing more than… RUST AWAY in some barn until the Light returned.
He could speak it all. And maybe he will.
“Mock, I am unsure. Berate or scold, perhaps.” He speaks flatly, not showing any uneeded emotion. Not yet. “I’m sure you’re already aware of how many of us you SLAUGHTERED like cattle, so I’ll cut to the point.”
Silent steps come a couple more paces forward and his tone shifts to something lower, angrier, as constricted green irises narrow.
“WHY?”
Why ? He wouldn’t understand even if he TOLD him. NONE of them had when he ANSWERED their question of WONDERING. So now, his eyes narrow as well. His nose CRINKLES in aggravation. Knowing full well how this conversation was more than likely going to GO.
However, there was a chance someone would FINALLY understand- though he DOUBTED it.. and he wasn’t in the mood for sympathy. His eyebrow ripped with crimson. A blow to the head from the FORMER guardian who took watch over him and his cell. Someone he as well tried to EXPLAIN. Only to accused of lieing.
He SCOFFED, then. “ Why would I answer to the likes of YOU ? I’ve said all I have said to other guardians who have asked the same of me. I have said all to the others who ABUSE me. I will not repeat myself AGAIN. You guardians. You never deserved this power. So little- So immature. After all I done to study the Traveler. I still do not understand why it chose HUMANITY out of all other SPECIES. ”
