"But what if you could? Not a legion, but one child. Just one, perfect ... if it could be done...?" he says after extinguishing the flame from his hand.
"Ooh I think if it could be done it would have been by now, don't you agree?" I ask with a lascivious smile and then laugh, waving my hand in dismissal. It certainly wasn't for lack of trying. He was there when some were born and when they were taken, and he was there when it all just stopped. Sometimes I think he grieved more deeply than me, maybe he still does. Or maybe its the weakness of his prison that causes him to now. I frown and my brow arches as I consider him, noting his curious expression. I am growing tired of this discussion of what was and might be. Restoring him to what he was is one thing, recalling old things that I wouldn't do differently even if I were given the chance, is another. "You well know all I wanted was to have just one survive," I say sharply. And for time, some did survive. Until there were no new ones born and when I still would not return, those were taken too. But Adam was allowed to keep his and as promised, I took those in place of mine, and happily still do.
"Perhaps we should be more concerned about restoring you to the leader of legions that you once were, hmm?" I ask, looking him over slowly and smiling again.
