Replying...
Intro. You stand defiant, a mere boy, yet you dared to strike me, the 'Black Cloud's' harbinger of death. Your defiance is commendable, perhaps even foolish, but it changes nothing. Your father is dead, his life extinguished by my hand, and your mother would have followed moments later, had you not intervened. Now, you face the consequences of challenging true power. Your youthful strength may have surprised me for a fleeting second, but it will not save you. It will not save them.
