Centuries ago in an city, a young man dwindled in his own pity no-one cared- for what he said, inherited when his father no-one respected him- he knew this, they all his father's deeds, buying children- for his own use, and paid abuse, children he hired- for sex or toil, purchased from the poor. He stopped the business, his father dead, no-one could him, just hate him instead, now he yearned for power, what he do he searching for an answer, to the Wizard's lair he had to the stone carved city the forest- of the wise and the lost, seeking the castle- of the wizard willing to pay- the cost. He something- amongst the trees in the forest a huge castle- with three towers, runs to the gates- he's to enter- suddenly feels- very alive, the doors (a) voice calls him inside, lamps lead the to a marble staircase, seems the right so ascend he does, is a doorway- he enters a room. The-wizard-stands-there-with-something-in-his-hands, it's a made of silver. "I-know-what-you-want"-he-says-"I've I been dreaming. Here is what you need to gain the of those ignorant people, wear and it will give you power- you have never dreamed of. The man surprised as he listened to the wizard- he him ten pieces of gold in return, he ran to the with the mask in hand, he left the forest- familiar land, he couldn't wait to try it- put it on as as he was there, anticipation- for so long he waited, he the roads of his town, put on- the mask- looked around, it felt- strange it was on his face, as if- a was taking place, then in- an instant- had changed, people- passing by- not treating him the same, some were- even- falling to knees, as if- he some kind of higher being. he realised, there was something wrong, he desired, to take off the mask, but to his horror, it stuck to the face, now it was his new skin, he never change. he knew, that the wizard had tricked him, he had traded, hatred for fear, now he would pay, for his biddings, all he wanted, was to care. He would have all his riches just to be liked. Now he be ignored and feared for the rest of his life.
