Governor of Ashoka

Weathered fingers drummed against the crates. Orion weighed the options before him, his brow furrowing. Greed was a touchy thing, and if he didn't get exactly what he wanted, the deal would be cancelled. However, this other seemed to be willing to bargain. So far the bargain was looking pretty good, but there was something particular that he wanted now; the riches, the women, the weaponry and the jewelry - all things that he didn't necessarily need or really want - could wait. "Throne-sit? And how long, exactly, would I be doing that for? Until you felt like showing up and taking over again? I don't just give things up so easily, and I don't settle for less, either. Therefore, if you really have need for my skills, you'll be willing to talk this out. What happens when you decide to take the throne from me? Where is my place in your precious army? A plain ol' lackey with nothing better to do with his time than listen to you? That doesn't really suit my interests, and I'm sure my decline to your... invitation... doesn't suit yours either. Make me the permanent ruler of Ashoka - I'll take orders from you and follow through with them, if that would make you happy - and I'd be more than happy to join your rag-tag band. Otherwise, you can forget it. I'm not about to be granted power only to lose it in a few months when you decide that it's time for you to become the sole ruler of all. Besides, the one seeking out world domination tends to do better when he has his minions to take over some areas, so that he can focus on his all-encompassing and all-destroying plans." Orion grinned. He wasn't stupid, by any stretch of the imagination. And, despite the fact that he'd never known this other person, knew absolutely nothing about him, there was an aura of power, a sureness that could not be erased. But these were the reasons why the fighter would ever consider being placed as a subordinate to someone else. No, indeed, Orion had his own ambitions, and if they began with Ashoka and worked their way above and beyond, all the better. Thoughts of one day overthrowing this other flickered through his mind, though the grin hid it well as his calculating eyes patiently followed that of the fiend's. He may just have to bend to the whims of his potential recruit if he truly wanted him. If not... Orion was more than prepared to fight until his death. And as he went down, bloody and pained, the maniacal laughter and the malicious grin would linger upon his visage, until the last breath passed between his torn lips. He would enjoy every minute of it. |
