I looked at myself in the mirror, seeing that perfect face one last time before leaving my room. I was in my battle outfit today because, after many gruesome months of suffering, today was the day of the duel between me and Varek.
As I walked downstairs, my mind kept wandering back to the events of the last few hectic days. It had been barely two days since my late-night visit to Varek and exactly two days since his soul had been replaced with Naga's.
He had been ready to quietly withdraw from our duel, but I hadn't let him. After all, this was a good chance to thoroughly humiliate Varek in front of everyone, even if his soul was currently rotting inside the Soul-Chasing Needle in my domain.
I wasn't actually going to fight but him begging in front of the crowd he had gathered before, seemed like a nice sight to witness.
