Chancellor Igor's Past

--

 

"I was amongst the very few people who were born during the decline of the Ancient Era." Chancellor Igor sighed, "In my youth, I used to hear stories and myths about the feats of the ancients and told myself, One day, I'll reach the same heights as them; if not, surpass them directly."

 

"It was a fool's errand. When I used to brag about this dream of mine, my seniors would usually wear strange expressions. I used to think that they were just amused at me, but in truth, they were pitying me because they knew how difficult my dream would be since they too were aware of their fading might."

 

Chancellor Igor stood in front of a tall window, peering outside and emanating a very lonely aura.

 

"It's not like they just sat there and accepted their fates. They did their best to resist the decline as much as they could, yet all their efforts only led to delaying the inevitable."
