"You will stay here. You will stick to your words,'' Atlas gripped Aleister's arms, their expressions mirroring each other's as the man's tone deepened, ''If you turn your back on me, remember that I can turn you back into what you were when you appeared here.'' 

Aleister's lips tugged up in a mocking arc, ''You want me to stay here?... I will,'' his voice lowered as he continued speaking ''Not to sit on your throne, I will stay here to destroy it.'' 

''Aleister!" Atlas stepped closer to the man in a threatening stance. 

Aleister did not budge from his spot, the playful glint in his eyes deepened, ''You must be used to having things your way. But I told you, I am not Adeline Daven. I am not my mother whom you forcefully separated from her world and kept here till she fell in love with you, and in the end, you failed to protect her.''
