During that time of madness I didn't really have many thoughts in my head. I knew I had to keep out of sight and not be obvious (and the paper was right I shaved my beard). Outside of that I was just a random murderer. The Red Hand were known for exageration and lying to public, but they weren't lying about my crimes. I did kill two entire families and its shameful to admit why. Even in my madness I knew right from wrong, I just didn't care. I just wanted to inflict punishment and destruction, and thats the difference from my madness and corruption inspired madness, the corruption over takes you and changes you, and you don't really make decisions anymore. Where as in my madness I knew what I was doing, I was inflicting damage and punishment to any and all who would get in my way, and I just could not care.
It was in this mindset I came across a blind beggar in a side alley. It was early in the morning businesses were opening up in the city and I could smell the fear from everyone around. No one knew what I looked like or how I acted, but they were all afraid. All of them except the blind guy. I assumed blind because he had bandages over his eyes, so he was either blind or someone who was trying to start a new fashion.
"I bet you won't see this coming." Yes I went for the obvious blind joke before I killed a blind beggar, sadly thats just my normal sense of humor.
"I see more things than you do Lorentino." I was caught off guard by him not only knowing who I was but what I assumed was voice alone, but he also called me by name something that was not in any of the papers. He followed up with the verbal stun with a physical one, I felt a gust of wind lift me off the ground and slam me into the wall behind me. My head made a sickening smack from the impact, as I drifted off to sleep I heard the blind man say "Bet you didn't see that coming either." And then blackness.
