Chapter Seventy

“I once told you the difference between a sorcerer and a warlock: a sorcerer is born into magic while warlocks have to earn theirs.

Our magic comes from a… dark source. All my life, I hungered for power. I believed I wasn’t born to live an ordinary life and I wouldn’t settle for less. I studied every supernatural creature, and that’s how I knew about Vox.”

“Who is Vox?” I asked Bruce.

“He is the Demon Overlord, a powerful entity, and he saw me as useful. I went on missions for him- while I wasn’t skilled in the physical aspect, my knowledge and resourcefulness made up for it. I wanted to become his favorite, but with Vox, things don’t work that way. You are only important to him when you are of use.

I was able to complete all my tasks; I did really bad things, none of which I am proud of, and finally I was rewarded; he made me a warlock. Just as I had wanted.

Still, I wanted more, and my greed got in the way.

A warlock’s magic never does die. If a warlock kills another, he gets a portion of their strength, so the more you kill, the more powerful you become. Of course, when I discovered that, I shifted my target. I began hunting for other warlocks; they are the hardest to kill, but I had my ways. I killed ten of Vox’s creatures, and I buried their bodies beneath this very building. With each warlock I killed, I got stronger, and finally I believed I was ready to take him down too

If I killed him, I would be the next Demon Overlord, and so I began plotting. I was simply careless; I let the wrong people into my circle, and they ratted me out. Vox discovered everything I had been up to, and so he hunted me. I was able to stay hidden for some time due to the protection spell I placed on myself.
