???? walks in hearing a piano playing throughout the darkness of the throne room. It's rather empty from what anyone can tell. Pillars line the sides of the hall, with a small set of stairs leading up to the throne and the lone piano that is playing at the side.
(IF you have Quick Time, you can hear the music playing...
"With Pride"
Don't Click on anything after opening the link, it should start playing. If not, click Play. Close the window or tab when done playing)
???? looks over to see the King playing, and continues to watch.
After the melody, the Young King gets up.
"'With Pride'... it's a beautiful song... yet with pride... what have you accomplished? Your hopes? Your dreams...? Your goals? Your destiny...?
Pride: the thought of being above others or pushing others down... Why is it that we, humans, among other races, have wished this feeling for ourselves and even killed and died for it? Is it human nature to strive for something as such?
"In the end... acting 'With Pride' is nothing short of worthless...
"But I digress... I have need of two things of you.... Your first mission... is to survive!"
Without warning, the young King lifts his rifle from his back, points it at ???? and pulls the trigger with the long distance between the piano to the door...
