It’s been a week since I couldn’t immediately talk, I tried thinking about Sarah, and Bamー We could talk to each other, by thinking. It’s been almost a year since that day... 

Alf, who serves me, is a trusted servant of the household. Everyone respects me thinking that I am Varkhaz. I don’t understand... I don’t..

“Master, are you awake?” Thin fingertips touched my shoulders. It was Alf who serves me. 

Sitting up on the bed I told him, “I am.”

In front of me was a mirror, I’ve never seen one so big in my life. On the right I saw a side table next to the bed I was sitting on. This bed could fit two people with absolutely no trouble, yet it was for me alone.

On the left were cupboards filled to the brim with expensive clothes, however they were too small for me.

“Please wait master, I will get your breakfast now.” he then left me alone and went out of the room. 

Then soon a maid came into the room and cleaned everything silently, I simply closed my eyes and sat there waiting for the food. And then I heard the sound of something breaking near me, I looked to the right, it was the maid who pushed the vase onto the floor. 

Seeing that I was looking at her, she started tearing up and fell on the floor, she shouted “Please forgive me!” and ran out of the room.

Why are they so scared of me? The only question that I asked myself every time I saw the servants shivering and trembling just being in my presence.

Alf soon came with the food on the tray, seeing that the vase was broken, he stayed silent and gave me the food. Piece by piece, he picked up the broken parts. Bowing to me, he went outside the room.

Soon I ate the food that was calling to me, I’ve never tasted something so delicious before. Soon, Alf was back. Finishing my food, I asked him “Alf.. Who am I?”

His face became expressionless and flat. “Master... you were a monster.”

That was when I had realised ‘why’. It wasn’t that I did something wrong, but now I was Varkhaz, I didn’t just take his life, I took everything from him and made it my own, his sins and his ‘self’ was now mine.
