The Divine Potato wrote:"Be aware, Mattias..." A voice boomed from a set of surround-sound pre-placed and hidden speakers.
"People do not rally to you because they cling to their belief that you are a strong leader, nor do they believe you bring salvation with you, they are united because of their hatred of us. You accomplished nothing but to further tarnish your already pittiful and stagnating reputation, this rally is from the work of us in the kingdom, to bring a structure to the dying and decaying remains of what once was life, a life you shared in, a life that we all can share in, even at the current situation of events. So please, I implore you, continue with your... Denounciations of Kingdom, continue with your tribal attitude to the ones who caused you to band together, and please, certainly feed this kid's ego enough to take him to the shores of my lovely land of Arventia, it would be a beautiful last sight for the mangy cur."
"Oh and I am aware of Oridon's discontinued support of our cause, wether or not you had the best interest of the world at heart you are a deserter, and deserters are the lowest of the low, worse than murder, worse than any conceivable crime, therefore, after this is over, unless it so be decreed by a higher authority than myself, you shall be punished, as a deserter."
And the silence once again claimed the world for it's own
"Why should we bow before any of you? This is the same situation as Ra, only more severe."
-Mattias shifted his weight to his spearstaff, groans emitted from his almost gaping maw.
"The reason people join me, is not for salvation, true. They do not join out of hatred for any of you personally. They join to keep our land free. Why should we bow to somebody who has done NOTHING for our civilization? Why should we accept despicable authority with open arms?"
-He simply began to pace, almost inquisitive.
"Tell me, why have YOU not been branded a traitor? You attempted to butcher your own friends, for what? Oh, yes, so there'd be no clans. How interesting that when you so strongly held that belief, here you stand, denouncing me for removing authority. Hypocrisy."
-He pointed towards the being that had insulted him.
"You are easily swayed. A disappointment, really. So many people saw much in you, hell I used to respect you. I won't come to you people if my forces lose, and I will not allow the execution of any allies of mine."
-He grew quite solem, as he looked upon them, a serious expression on his face.
"Go back to hiding in the shadows, with your cowardly leader, sending lackies to do his job."
