“Think of what you’re doing Sertoff.” Daemon called out. “There’s no coming back from this.”
Sertoff said nothing, he just stood in place. His blaster was at his side.
Daemon was finding it hard to find the right words to say to his friend. He was finding it harder to NOT say certain words. Words he knew would make things worse. Words like Jasylin and Jonothan. Especially since they were the core reason of this. “What are you trying to prove? What is the point of this senseless murder?”
Sertoff questioned sharply, “Senseless? These people robbed me of my birthright.”
“Sertoff.” Daemon tried to reason.
“Are you going to give me the speech again?” Sertoff walked over several dead bodies towards his friend. “Casandra’s not here to aid your call. Are you going to tell me again how it’s for the good of the people? How many ways it benefits the Alliance of Planets. I did my time like a good soldier for the Commity. I bought the patriotism, lived it, breathed it. No one has done more for the cause than I. When I want one thing for me, one thing out of every selfless endeavor I have endured for them. And They will not allow it. All the laws they have broken? I am not allowed to break a SINGLE ONE?!?”
Daemon stood silently watching his friend.
“To what higher standard should I be held accountable, when there is no higher standard?” Sertoff stood his ground and looked at his friend who would soon become his enemy.
“Sertoff this is childish.”
“This is justice, Daemon.” Sertoff raised his blaster, and in a flash of bright light Daemon was gone.
