"Attachments are unneeded"
It was both the first and last thing my old man told me. To be an effective killer you must not feel for the enemy.
To be an effective mercenary you must not feel remorse. A contract is a contract. The Client is technically god for us. To us the value of money is more important than ideals.
Sometimes those very same ideals could poison your entire being. Possess you into something more than what you aimed to be.
That was the mantra of every mercenary.
That was what I believed for so long, until I met her. She pulled me out of that murky swamp. Shining an inexhaustible light, crating a solid path we could tread on to.
But soon like all roads, it crumbled into rubble, nothing but ashes remained. Plunging me deeper into that black and murky waters. I reveled in it. I let it consume me, become the very thing we swore to destroy. The very same thing my old man told me about.
