Title: A Desire, A Vow
The Mirror of Erised. Something I’ve only read of, heard of, but mostly read of. Now it was there in front of me, brought to me by my minions. I could tell that this was the original; the inscriptions beside it clarified everything. In a sense, I was overjoyed to finally find it, in another, I was scared to find out what my heart desired. Yet I feel as if it wants me to look through it. And so I did.
I walked on over and took a look; the first images weren’t clear, mere blurs. But I could definitely figure out what it looked like; a man and a woman. I couldn’t tell, but I felt that they were both happy together. I understood what the mirror had meant; I had always wanted companionship, or atleast friendship. By that I meant real friendship, instead of disposable ones. Friends that wouldn’t call me names, friends that wouldn’t make fun of me. I was already a powerful ruler, so why did I need that? In a sense, I was insecure of myself and I needed somebody to encourage me and help me in my time of need.
The blurs vanished and appeared a silhouette of a man standing in front of many corpses, his hands held out as if he was laughing manically. This was obvious. I wished the deaths of others just to satisfy my bloodlust. My strength needed to be proved, and so I conceded to murdering villages that I see along my way. I gazed closely at the mirror, only to see a shadow nearby getting up. The man had run over and used a sword to slay the being. I smiled maliciously as I looked at it.
That vanished as well, and what appeared next surprised me. Another silhouette was inside a room, hugging his legs to his chest. He was alone, nobody else was there. I frowned. This really was my deepest desire; to be alone, undisturbed by anyone, nobody to hurt me, nobody for me to hurt. Just me, myself and I. Yet the atmosphere in that room was full of sorrow, I couldn’t understand. If being alone was my deepest desire, why would I be sad? That vanished as well, and the next image surprised me.
A grave.
My grave.
I backed away in disgust looking at it, before raising a fist and smashing the mirror straight in the middle. I called a minion out and ordered him to clean that up, before I retreated to a nearby balcony. That grave was my deepest desire? Did I, deep in my heart, wanted to die? Did I feel guilty for all the deaths that I have caused and I had wanted to die in guilt? I denied that. I will not die. I will not die by the pitiful fools that call themselves heroes. I will live on, unbeaten.
That is my vow, or my name is not Shinzui Stamifrah.
P.S: No, you do not know this character. I haven’t shown him at all, yet. And Stamifrah is not my name. If this is depressing for you, I am thus sorry.
