"Are you ****ing kidding me?" Gabriel whispered. His eyes snapped shut. His breathing slowed. The cement floor pressed against his cheek. The dampness reminded him. It reminded him who he was.
He rolled onto his side, slowly as to not jolt Andraste around. Silence was both a sword and a shield. The weak knew of it. The aspiring mastered it. He leveled his breathing, feeling Andraste's words sink in.
"You want to know why I joined the Sith," he said. It wasn't a question. "Power is an ideal. The weak aspire for it. The strong bathe in it. Once given a taste people will always want more. Once shown what they can become they will begin to strive." A shroud fell over his face.
"A lost love?" he asked. "You can say that. Love is a sacrifice on the stairway to power. I didn't make that decision." His eyes were lightning, his voice thunder.
"Do you have any dreams, desert flower?"
