Takadox
Dark Side Of The Moon
My name is Takadox, and I am a monster. I have done terrible things. This is nothing new for me - I am, by and large, a despicable beast. I do so enjoy the pain of others; there is nothing quite so wondrous as the screams of lamentation as my armies slaughter and maim their foes, the cries for mercy as my torturors exact their terrible expertise, the sobs of lovers who have been left alone in the world. All of these things are joyous to me, and even my fellow Barakki have always known I was the closest to evil. They never trusted me; that is something I commend them for, if nothing else at all. I have betrayed the closest thing I ever had to "friends" - I have sequestered myself into an existence where I cannot survive without backstabbing and double-crossing. I am no longer Takadox the conqueror, I am no longer fit to be counted among the Barakki. I am now simply Takadox. And it would be the latest in a grand procession of falsehoods were I to tell you that I regret it. I have never held compassion or camaraderie in my heart for those ingrates. I will not abide by Pridak's arrogant crowing, Kalmah's self-righteous dithering, Carapar's insurmountable idiocy, Ehlek's grating insistence of his brilliance, and above all, I shall no longer abide by Mantax and his hypocrisy. I am going to a place from whence I cannot return. Once they know the name of the traitor, there will be no place left safe in the Universe for me. I simply hope they are up to the task of defeating me - I was never exactly forthcoming with my abilities. Let us see who is truly the greatest of the Barakki. I eagerly await their retaliation.
