365 Days of Drabbles: Day Sixty-Nine
For colliemommie "If I had only known then..."
Another POV from the story Stride
* * *
The Base Elements had once been his to command. He had gazed into the vast yet incalculable small universes that composed matter and known their secrets. He had bent and merged the Spiral Ladders of Creation to build the perfect servant. He'd had control over everything.
Now he fought to move lip and tongue together to protest his servant's betrayal, as the Death Priest she had suborned took hold of his hand, moving it to sign the false will that would gift her his fortune.
Had I known you to be so clever, I would not have let you live.
