WHEN I DIE
NO ONE CAN HAVE THAT MUCH POWER.
IT IS TOO MUCH!
THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HOLD IN YOUR HANDS?
IT IS NOT A TOOL.
IT IS NOT A WEAPON.
IT IS A FORCE BEYOND EITHER OF THOSE THINGS.
IF IT FALLS INTO THE WRONG HANDS, EVERYTHING WE HAVE BUILT WILL TURN TO ASH!
KINGDOMS WILL FALL.
TRUTHS WILL BE ERASED.
MEN WILL KNEEL BEFORE THINGS THEY CANNOT COMPREHEND.
AND ALL OF IT WILL BEGIN WITH A SINGLE MOMENT OF WEAKNESS.
A SINGLE DECISION.
YOUR DECISION.
YOU SPEAK OF CONTROL.
EVERYONE DOES.
THEY ALL BELIEVE THEY WILL BE THE EXCEPTION.
THEY ALL BELIEVE THEY ARE STRONG ENOUGH.
WISE ENOUGH.
DISCIPLINED ENOUGH.
THEY NEVER ARE.
POWER DOES NOT CORRUPT THE WEAK.
IT REVEALS THEM.
IT STRIPS AWAY THE MASK AND SHOWS WHAT WAS ALWAYS THERE.
I HAVE SEEN WHAT THIS THING CAN DO.
I HAVE SEEN GOOD MEN DESTROY THEMSELVES FOR IT.
I HAVE SEEN FRIENDS BECOME ENEMIES.
I HAVE SEEN EMPIRES RISE IN A DAY AND COLLAPSE BY NIGHTFALL.
THERE IS NO SAFE WAY TO WIELD IT.
NO RIGHTFUL OWNER.
NO CHOSEN ONE.
ONLY THE NEXT VICTIM.
SO GIVE IT TO ME.
NOT BECAUSE I DESERVE IT.
NOT BECAUSE I AM STRONGER THAN YOU.
BUT BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT MUST BE DONE.
AND I AM WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE.
IT ENDS HERE.
BEFORE IT ENDS US.
