I told you once before. I'm the one that's gone furthest along the road to the dark world. Being called a 'Creeper' doesn't offend me... despite your intentions.
[His lips twitch into a twisted smirk.]
It's almost a compliment!
[Too bad, Kai... Your long-term insult really wasn't all that insulting at all! His grin only widens at the rest.]
You've been entertaining! If you hadn't, I wouldn't have bothered playing with you at all.
[And isn't that a little unpleasant wording? True though it might be. Boring people are tolerated, not sought out.
The aftermath of that game is never far from his mind. That goal never leaves. Never disappears. It's a reality he can't forget. Power is power, and power is everything. Being weak like this is distasteful. He may have powers beyond humans, but that's nothing. He wants to have power beyond anything. Gods or demons... mages or warriors. But part of him is aware that if he wins... it's almost a death sentence for him. Winning that game means that everything entertaining will disappear. All challenge... all opponents. Ultimate power is boring, after all. When that time comes... maybe he'll just sleep. Destroy everything that he doesn't like, watch the Pharaoh disappear, his hopes shattered... and then finally rest.
...thinking about things like that is also distasteful. He doesn't want to think of the aftermath of his victory. A hedonistic nature like his isn't one that thinks too far ahead. Enjoyment is everything... and thinking of that... is almost enough to shatter that enjoyment.]
Who knows? The fun part's getting there. The future can take care of itself.
