As Will sat there, he was thinking about death and what exactly it meant. In this world, death was a common thing. Entire cities could be wiped out on a day like today, a normal day.
In this world, killing was one of the only ways to protect yourself. If someone came along and tried to kill you and you got away but they stayed alive, they would come back to haunt you later.
From this moment on, Will decided that he would be kind, avoiding conflict whenever possible, but if someone were to stop him in his path, he would not be kind to them. Of all the paths of killing in this world, Will chose the path of merciless mercy.
As soon as Will decided this, he felt a change in his heart, as if it was slowly evolving, but it stopped after a couple seconds.
'After all,' Will thought, 'There are fates worse than death,' after which he smiled.
He had made his decision of his path of killing. He would be the most merciless but also the kindest person possible. Those who stood in his way would be eliminated and those who stood by his side would grow with him. He decided that what happened with Prince James would never happen again, but he would not become Prince James. No one would ever tread on him again, but he would not tread on others either.
He would bring hope and love to some, but drag others down and bring despair to them. He would be the balance that this chaotic and cruel world needed.
