One year later...Diary Entry

'Tomorrow I will finally fulfill my destiny. Father says I've made the most progress he's ever seen a Scorpion make. I've killed without hesitation and he believes I am ready to rule his kingdom. He says the demon within me is bloodthirsty, cruel, and precise. Exactly what his people want and need in a leader. I've not forgiven him for what he's done but he has satisfied a void in my soul that I've always had but never acknowledged. He says my final challenge will be difficult....a test of both my mental and physical strength. I will be ready'.
