You will never hear this.
I am sure there are thousands upon thousands of lives that you have twisted and destroyed in all of the time that you lived.
No. Not lived.
Existed.
Survived.
Festered.
You are right. It can come for anyone, at any time. Sick, weak, ...strong. Old, young. Mortal. Immortal.
You placed yourself first in all things, and yet you never escaped that which you feared the most. You taunted and tortured the lives and minds of many people....all for the sake of one, simple reason.
Fear.
There are parts of me you have ruined - perhaps for good. But in your arrogance, perhaps you have gotten what you wanted.
Your infamy will live on in those who would remember you, and perhaps it is your grave that they spit upon as they walk by.
But I will not forget the most important thing you have taught me. Death, in the end, does come for us all. So it is not a fight to delay it, but to enjoy those moments we do have with those we care most for - because we will not know when they are stolen away. When their life thread is cut from us.
I believe the ballad of my insignificance turned out to be a much louder song to you, as you felt your body crumble to ash, and I bore witness to it. I am sure the moments of being encased, knowing the end was coming, filled you with fear. I wonder now, if Death had been kind, since you avoided it for so long, or if it lets you linger, lost in the Shadowlands, the same place you had cast me...
I hope, even for your sake, villain, you find your peace. Be it in oblivion, or wherever monsters find themselves at the end of their days..but for those who's lives you ruined, I hope you are made to pay your debt, before you find it.
