"So you're the true power in these lands?" Nidget had left me and Hanlon, because really he'd done all he was supposed to do, and I think he was terrified of Hanlon. Me? I was curious. So I decided to walk with Hanlon for a time, he offered saying I was in no condition to walk home alone, and I did not disagree.
"In a manner of speaking yes Trezlan, I'm a fire arm manufacturer, and firearms are the true power in the world now." It made sense, and I would have believed anyone else if they weren't Hanlon.
"Right of course and your magical army, the ability to absorb the ability of a god, and to then turn that god into ash with one shot, just because you make weapons." I know people think I'm stupid, I had no idea they think I'm that stupid!
"Planning and execution Trezlan. You think I appear out of nowhere, but that's more I have people following you and I know these lands better than you do. It's also how I can set up an army in advance of you deciding to stop for an evening and waiting for my pray to walk into it. And knowing it was Chaos I was dealing with to guard myself against his attack and have one of my own ready to kill him. You choose to remain ignorant of the world around you because its easier for you to believe everyone else struggles with the basics like you do, its not the case, it will never be the case and I hope one day you clue into this."
"I don't believe anything you said."
"And that is why you'll never change, and why you'll continue to believe I'm a seperate person and not just you as you should be." And with that he was gone. And I'm pretty sure he was lying, I mean I don't own Hanlon firearms last I checked, nor did I somehow arrange big hits on gods. But that was Hanlon, obscure his real realities with fake lies. At least I hope that's whats going on, because I swear to whatever Gods I still believe in if I'm super extra crazy and half a split personality who's way more successful at things I'll be really sad.
