Sword God in a World of Magic

Wester raised an eyebrow when he heard that.

"The Mage God?" he asked with uncertainty.

The Lightning Emperor nodded. "In a way, he feels like an alternate version of Lucius. Lucius was a kind person that hid a dark core of desire and hunger. Nearly all the time, he was a pleasant fellow that elicited goodwill from everyone."

"Yet, on some very rare occasions, he also lost his cool, and when that happened, he very often forgot what was right or wrong."

"Naturally, after he calmed down, he became ashamed and tried to rectify his deeds as much as possible. He genuinely regretted some of his actions."

"But this warrior is the opposite," the Lightning Emperor said as he rubbed his small beard.

"He seems like someone that exclusively does selfish things and never does anything else."

"Yet, who knows? Maybe, from time to time, he also does something good without realizing it. It might be on accident, but in a certain sense, there are no real accidents."

"If you make a decision, something inside you wants to make that decision. You might believe that you have done something you didn't want on accident, but in the end, you wouldn't have chosen what you have if there weren't a small part of you that wanted to make that choice."

The Lightning Emperor remained silent for a couple of seconds.

"What are your orders, sir?" Wester asked.

The Lightning Emperor remained silent.

Then, some seconds later, he sighed. "I don't know."

"You know, when I'm uncertain about someone, I tend to look into their eyes, but…"

Wester didn't answer.

"Speaking of, why doesn't he have eyes?" the Lightning Emperor asked.

"I didn't ask," Wester said.

"Well, it doesn't matter anyway," the Lightning Emperor said. "Some people have very weird ways when it concerns training. For example, Mirana refused to come out during the day, and she also refused to look outside during the day. She wanted to keep her senses for Darkness Mana as sharp as possible."
