CHAPTER FOUR: ACCEPTANCE BEFORE REVENGE.

THE HOODED ONE'S POINT OF VIEW.

"You'll die early if you don't learn how to control the anger that burns in your chest…" I gently pat his chest as he submissively drops on his knees, "Like right now…if I wasn't so interested in you…I might have killed you for even attempting to attack me…", I lean back in my chair "I can…n..never t.t..tolerate an insult to my clan" he manages to blurt out while glaring at me and grasping his chest in pain, I chuckle good-naturedly, "So…right now you seriously believed you could have killed me…like seriously" I laugh again, it humours me, "Litsen up…the stage of grief before revenge is acceptance…you must accept that your entire clan was wiped out for reasons you may never know…you can't just rush forward and kill the king or destroy the government…not when you're absolutely POWERLESS…" I smile -I am greatly enjoying myself- "…what exactly did you do to me?" he groans in pain, I chuckle,"I momentarily stopped the action of every single organ in your body…hey that must sound like an excellent way to kill the king!" I remark cheerfully, he looks up at me in shock, "Doesn't my revenge plan bother you?" he asks, treading carefully with his words "No…it thrills me actually…but…can you?" I stand up and walk to the window, "I WILL!" he musters up strength to yell, I turn to him "Well…if you CAN handle my training Rave…you can do anything you want to do"

THE HOODED ONE'S POV END.

"Hey…are you okay?" Taki asks as I wipe my mouth, I am extremely embarrassed, I turn around to see the cringe expressions on everybody's face, the ground swallowing me up would be no remedy to this shame, Rev Waer has the most pitiful expression of all, she steps to me and regards me carefully "Are you sick?" she asks, I shake my head "No…I'm alright…" I respond she stares at me quizzically and then I remember -sickness is another disqualifying factor-, hastily I grab the dagger, I decide to prove my health by fighting right away, "Hey…I'd like to go first…" I turn to see Taki step forward rather nervously, Rev Waer looks at the two of us curiously, she then shrugs and waves a permission, Taki grabs me by the ear before going to the cage "…just remember I'm not trying to save your ass or anything…I'm trying to prove a point…" she smiles and walks to her -doom?-
