Despite the words to unpack, Armande couldn't help the chuckle that formed from deep within as Brandon swirled away, black smoke seeming to form at his feet. Perhaps it was more than a chuckle."Oh come now. Adults use tricks to scare children. No child sits before you. I know exactly who and what you are."
His look hardened. He had a clear answer to his question. Even in VR the man had to restort to showmanship. Weak. Pathetic. "If we are to speak, let us do it as men. And not with these pathetic games." And then, as an example, he made a flame appear. VR was not real, after all.
He considered the words, then. "You were once Atharim, which we knew. And one of rank, to know the office." He paused, thinking on the timeline, steepling his fingers. "Regus....Raved, I should think. Winjgaard was far too much of a weakling to have one as you among him. As to why...you are no fool. You know what we do is crucial."
And then he looked at him pointedly. "But you do realize that everything you have done proves that the Atharim of old were correct in exterminating the gods. That we are correct to oppose you now. You behave exactly as the gods of old did." His voice hardened. "Of all those that might be gods, you knew of this. And still, the power corrupted and weakened you."
