Resolution

I got back to my sense when Odon pass me dinner, few small fruits, a bread and a glass of milk. He looks a little worry and just asks one question.

"Is it related to something you saw with your skill?"

I just nodded. We didn't talk more that day and went to sleep early.

--------------------------------------

I got up really early the next day and spend about an hour looking through the windows. I have been thinking about many stuff, my skill, yesterday incident, how weak am I and at some point, Odon weird plan to take over the world. I really hate being so weak, why did I get this skill if I can't change anything.

Those nobles have cellars full of peoples, they kill as they please, torture, f**k. The worse was the guy that rape one of the prisoners, she got pregnant. After she gives birth he kills the baby and tries to force her to eat him. She didn't comply with the b****t, so he feet the baby to the dogs. The woman tried to kill herself during this but he didn't allow it. Later she was sent back to her cell and in seconds she ran into a wall and broke her head. I can still remember his laugh after that happen. I don't think he regrets his actions, the reason why I saw this was because he doesn't want others to know. I really wonder how does my skill work.

While I was thinking about this Odon wakes up and walk beside me. I look at him, but this time I was not thinking about his past or his present but his future.

I suddenly ask him "Odon, I remember that yesterday you were talking a lot about that girl skill. How did you know what it was?"

"Wow, that's a serious face you got. Are you still worry about what you saw yesterday?"

"Don't change the topic, please answer me, is really important."

"I can see other peoples stats, more accurately. Their unique skill and what they have trained into. The information I get depends on my knowledge. If I don't know how to describe a skill or have not idea what his training is for, I won't be able to see it. Also if I understand 50% of the skill I can neutralize it. I have never got an understanding of a skill higher than 70%."

Really a great skill "doesn't it have downsides?"

"Yes, it has but as long as people don't know what it is. It won't be a problem."

"How confident are you in taking over this world?"

"100%, as long as I don't have a premature death."

"One last question, If I follow you, and decide to kill someone, that person may be important or a philanthropy. Will you stop me?"

"I know your skill and I know you. Your question is like asking a butcher if he will kill animals. That's his job and what he is good for. I pick you to kill. No to kill the strongest enemy but the trickiest one. In summary, if you want to kill someone, not only will I no stop you, I will kill the person for you if you don't have the power."

I spend a few minutes looking at him into the eyes. I didn't say anything, I was just digesting his answers. Then I'm not sure we but I got into my kneels a say.

"I will be your sword and follow your orders, even if you want me to walk to hell. I don't want to be the hero anymore. saving the weak and loved by the girls, but I will be the judge that kills the criminal. This is my promise to you, anyone that may stop you will die. But everyone that will make that future world worse will also die."

Odon look at me for a moment then says "Use only does that you trust, if you don't trust them don't use them. If I stop trusting you or you get away from the right path I will kill you myself. That means that as long as you are alive you have my full trust. This means that I will take responsibility for anyone you may kill."

Then I slowly got up. I feel that a big weigh was just lifted from my shoulder. This is definitely a conversation that 2 kids of our age shouldn't be having. With my skill, I was forced to see the dark part of this world, I will stop thinking about it. If I can deal with it I will and let Odon deal with the consequences. If no, I will just train to be stronger until I can deal with it. "After I come to the capital I have seen thousands of rapes, kills and more. I also saw stuff a lot worse than my biggest nightmare. I saw peoples that just by killing them can save villages bigger than our home. I won't kill them for now because if I did, we will be tagged as criminals and your dream will be harder. But after you have more power I won't suppress myself."

"Is good that you won't stat, for now, I was little scare. You are only 10 an are already thinking this way. For now, if you want to kill someone, let me know first. Now let's stop talking about this, we better go out and get some hot breakfast downstairs. You almost didn't touch your dinner, if you want to be strong you have to eat well."

I want to deny it, but my stomach betrays me. I really didn't eat much yesterday. While walking downstairs I remember what I just say and confirm my resolution in my mind, I will follow all his commands as long as they allow me to purge the evil of this world.

In the future, I will follow this conviction for many years until my own daughter proves me wrong. She will save me from becoming the evil that I wanted to purge.
