Samuel Therion, like the others, stood alone in the labyrinth. He knew not what power had brought him here, nor how it had managed to do so when he had carefully constructed so many defenses to protect him from any potential threat. For ages, Samuel had sat as the dark prince of his world; very few aware of his existence and none even dreaming of capturing him. Yet, in an instant some eccentric otherworldly power had managed to ensnare him as easily as a hawk ensnares a simple rabbit.
For a brief moment, the reality of his abduction dealt a blow to Samuel's ego, the severity of which he had not felt in years. His brow furrowed and fist clenched as he thought about the insurmountable difference in power between him and the abductor. Despite all his best efforts, all the power and wealth he had obtained, none of it was meaningful in the light of this new force.
And then, a smile crept its way over his face. Yes, all of it was meaningless, all of his old goals and struggles, completely pointless. A soft chuckle escaped his lips, growing in intensity. Yes. With this new, otherworldly power displayed before him, how could he possibly find solace in the life he once sought to obtain. He had worried, worried that he had risen as far has he could, obtained all the power it was possible to obtain. But no. He tilted his head towards the sky and cackled. Yes, of course! He was grateful to his captor. Like a candle running out of air, the flame of his ambition had faded to a simple spark as he conquered his goals one after another. Yet now it burned brighter than ever.
I will make my way though this game of yours. And at the end...we shall see what kind of power you truly have.
