They have no idea what I've been planning, and how could they? Every step in my plan, every detail, exercised to its full potential, well before being sprung into action. In some ways, I pity them. In others, they had it coming. How dare they question my right, no, my destiny! They have chosen their own paths, and they shall remember the day they chose to cross Tybris Fauler.
I was regarded as my master's top pupal; a true maestro of magic, a connoisseur of conjuration. My skills were never questioned, for they did not need to: they knew my true potential, for it was bore in the stars.
Yet they dared to question my loyalties? They dared to betray me? They should have known this would become their undoing.
But my plan... of yes, one most cunning, if I do dare be so bold. I could see the confusion on their face when I was expelled. I did nothing but smile, bow, and show myself the door. Little had they known that I had already spent the night before copying secret tomes from the most secret of archives, finishing my dangerous research.
Little did they know that I had covered all of my tracks, creating false research to only solidify their theories of my madness. Little did my poor master, my one friend and ally, know that I had poisoned his wines the night before, and stolen his precious staff, and replaces it with a forgery. Little did he know that I know held the key to my final goal.
Little did he know that the answer to all of our prayers would soon be realized. Only a few more small details need be taken care of. Thanks to those fool mercenaries, I was able to retrieve the book with no trouble. Without the help of the Grayman's son, I would have truly been lost. I will then be able to obtain the iris, and move unto the next stage of my plan. My scouts have reported that the mercenary band has tried to raise the alarm, but I feel their efforts shall be in vain. All I need is for the Grayman's son to die, and his line to end: then the seals shall be broken, and the final stages may then begin.
Even if the adventurers seek to stop me, they have no chance. They know now that hell they have unleashed.
