Really? First bad music and then you go and pick the Normans? The Macedonians were a lot more fun. Alexander knew how to throw one hell of a party.

He was ambitious as hell for a mortal and amazingly good in bed. He was never that weepy though, even when he was roaring drunk. Someone got that damned wrong.
So, alien, demon, or some other non-human type with delusions of grandeur?
There's hardly a shortage of humans. What was that slogan...'crunch all you like, we'll make more'? Train the resilient ones and the rest are expendable.

They burn out quick enough, sometimes it's just as easy to wait. Or put the slower ones in the front, let them take most of the damage.
I miss Kronos.

Alexander wasn't bad for a human. Weeping because he had no lands left to conquer... it's kind of sweet, really.

And 'alien' is a matter of perspective.

So that would be 'yes' then.

Oh, do you feel clever now?

I always feel clever. Comes with the territory.

Oh, yes, high self-esteem and such.

When you've lived as long as I have, you're entitled, sonny.

Another dead lover?

More than that. For centuries, he was a brother in arms. But yes. Dead. They always seem to wind up that way.

They always turn on you sooner or later. Unless they die first. Tempting to kill them before it all goes wrong, really. Hindsight, all that.

I beat him to it. He found me, but I was the one who engineered his demise. It was him or me. A surprisingly easy choice in the end.

It's always like that. By your side or at your feet, and there's no point in letting them be the victorious one. Sometimes you need to be proactive.
