I'm not sure, Greg replied, he definitely-
He's no actor.
Bern? How can you tell?
Just look at him, look at his eyes. There is a fire there, a passion for battle. Can't you see it? He truly believes in himself, in everything he does. The moment he strode in here, he was ready to kill that bastard- and us too, given the chance. He is a fighter, a warrior- a believer. In his mind, he is unstoppable. There is nothing that can harm him, nothing that can phase him, nothing that can even cause him to bat an eye. In his mind, he is God. All-powerful, indestructible. And that, THAT is what makes him deadly. If we should fear anyone here, it is he. Nothing can match the power of one who truly believes.
...Well, Greg thought, in that case... Why would he not dispatch us?
Why should he bother? We are but a man, and he- he is a God. We are nothing to him, nothing. In his mind, we are ants, lowly insects not worthy of his time.
In that case, it would seem to be to our benefit to maintain this position. After all, why should he be concerned with us mere bugs?
Why indeed.
After staring warily for a moment, Eric sighed in relief. "You seem to have scared him off easily enough. Maybe he's just heard of you! If that 'Overseer' is to be believed, you're quite the legendary figure! Actually..." He trailed off, looking thoughtful. "Now that we think about it- Well, in our time, we have very few legends, but one of the few that has persevered is the story of Nahan Zemille, a great warrior. We wonder if, over the years, your legend, spread by word-of-mouth, survived, changing a bit, but ultimately intact? Hmm... Oh! Did you ever face three armies, a million-strong each, and survive unscathed? That is one of Zemille's most famous accomplishments, and if we're correct..." He trailed off, looking at Emilio half in disbelief, half in awe.
