"Kill me? Is that what you really want?" Achlys asked him. She didn't seem to be scared of him, her eyes showed amusement while her boney shoulder touched lazily the doorframe. She didn't care about Allias' anger, about the murder or the destruction she had brought. All she did care about was power and having the means to aquire it.
Allias didn't want to play any games. He was tired of twisted words and fake smiles. Passive agressiveness and the silence that followed and insulting comment. He didn't want to hide behind his finger anymore, restrain himself as everyone around him used this as an excuse to hurt the people he loved.
That was the reason why the king did not answer her, that was the reason why Allias, even though weakened by the lack of his arm, a punishment he had decided to inflict to himself, he launched forward, gritting his teeth and approaching her with unbelievable speed.
