Allan supposed The Ascendancy was right. He was a man capable of the most wonderous things. There were delusions of granduer but Allan wouldn't ever say it out loud. A god...
Power arced out and the walls vibrated with it. He was powerful -- Allan was full of awe and wondered why the Ascendancy just didn't collapse the entire network below. If it was such a cause for concern then the loss of life would be warranted. It was that great an evil then surely casualties were to be expected.
He was given permission to question and learn from the young Atharim. But Allan had sown his own doubt in the necessity of it. Books could tell him the same. A boy what could he offer. But he would go on this hunt to see for himself the world under the ground. And later he would seek out the man again for more guidance, perhaps a talk on more thoughtful things. Allan smiled. "I look forward to tonight. Was there something you wished to tell me of this place? Other than what it connects to. I find that the idea of a place for men like us -- but not reliable -- a unique perspective on what the depraved would do if they even glimpsed a fraction of your power. If I had been another man. Had enjoyed the events that brought me to this world now." There was sorrow in his voice. He didn't like thinking about the things he did, but it was all part of who he was.
