Library: The Loyal Master
“Heartbreaker!“
“Oh my god, can’t I have one minute of peace and quiet? Must you always… I’m sorry.”
“What’re you up to? You seem a little more frustrated than you usually are…?“
“Well, I am. I’m looking for something.”
“What’re you looking for? Maybe I can-”
“Help? Don’t think so. This is something I have to do by myself…”
“Don’t you always say that there is always a way? I want to help you.“
“Well this is different. This is personal. Between me and the books. Going to finish every single one of these bastards if I have to.”
“Are you loosing your mind or are you just trying to be funny?“
“Don’t know guess it’s somewhere between those two options.”
“What’re you looking for?“
“I have forgotten who I am…”
“You’re Sir Heartbreaker…“
“No, no not that. I don’t remember my family, my friends… I only remember you, and don’t take it personal but that’s not enough.”
“You’ve forgotten your past?“
“Yes, and without a past there is no present, and without a present there is no future! See; I’m already starting to disappear!”
“That’s why I’m here… I need to tell you something…“
“What is it? Tell me fast, tell me now…”
“We’re the same- we’re the same being. You and I… we are one and the same being. We share the same soul.“
“That’s impossible. Wha- whe- who are you?”
“I’m you… the new you. I’ve been sent here to replace you but… I can’t… I’ve decided to let us merge instead. A Heartbreaker that kills another Heartbreaker is no longer a real Heartbreaker, not according to me atleast.“
“What?!”
“Will you come with me… will you become one with me, or will you vanish? Please, Sir, stay with me…“
“What exactly will this merge do to us?”
“Nothing, except that we will share thoughts, and our bodies will react to each others… So if you bleed, I bleed…“
“Well, since you’re asking me now, at my moment of well- death more or less- I’ll stay… But know that I would stay for you no matter when you asked me to.”
“I know you would, that’s why I choose you as my master and not someone else. I believe in you. I believe in me.“
