"Defeat the bad guy, get the girl. The classic hero's end."
Legion's voice snapped Harker out of this scene. His body was in the middle of the fight, exchanging blows with this creature that was 'born' from him. But his mind was traveling to other places.
"For a hero to be worth rooting for, he needs a villain to fight back. And even if the roles were switched, it's all the same. You cannot exist without fighting some 'other', some force that you choose to be the 'bad' one. Even the most villainous heroes do this all the time and justify their actions by showing that their enemies 'deserve it'. To bring 'justice'."
Harker bit the snake's tail off, but it just continued monologuing. It was as if it had long given up in this fight where the victor was already clear. Where it was to be expected.
