Centuries ago in an city, a rich young man dwindled in his own no-one for what he said, inherited riches- when his died 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 them- the poor. He the business, with his father dead, no-one could forgive him, hate him instead, now he yearned for power, what he do he went searching for an answer, to the lair he had to leave- the stone carved enter the forest- of the and the lost, seeking the of the almighty wizard willing to whatever the cost. He sees something- amongst the trees in the a huge castle- with darkened towers, runs to the gates- he's to enter- suddenly feels- alive, the doors open- (a) voice calls him inside, lamps the man- 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 mask of silver. "I-know-what-you-want"-he-says-"I've I have dreaming. Here is what you to gain the respect- of those ignorant people, wear this and it will give you you have never before of. The man stood surprised as he to the wizard- he gave him ten of gold in return, he ran to the with the mask in hand, he left the forest- into land, he couldn't to try it- put it on as soon as he was there, burning anticipation- for so he waited, he entered- the of his town, put on- the excitedly looked around, it felt- once- it was on his face, as if- a was taking place, then in- an something had changed, people- by- were not treating him the same, some were- even- to their knees, as if- he some kind of higher being. Suddenly he realised, there was wrong, he desired, to take off the mask, but to his horror, it stuck to the face, now it was his new skin, he could change. Then he knew, that the wizard had him, he had traded, for fear, now he would pay, for his selfish 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.
