Who would have thought it would be so easy? Then again, I am brilliant. Everything went exactly according to plan, which is just lovely, I must say. Sometimes I surprise even myself. It didn't take much to revenge myself on all of them, though it remains to be seen if things play out as I expect after hearing that prophecy.

I allow that that part confuses me somewhat. If I had left things alone, I suppose I could understand, but I haven't. So what does that mean? Will the prophecy be invalidated? Or will the master's whelp fulfill it as though he really were that bastard's own spawn? Of course, I have no idea if he'll even go after him. He might go after the other brat, who knows?

I can always hope, right? It does not matter. If the new son of my best friend should not be the one, I shall simply attempt to kill him myself later. Perhaps leave the corpse as a present for my master without the changes I wrought in that whelp's body. I find it inordinately amusing that it is a fifty-fifty chance that my master will attempt to kill his own son based on what little information he has. If I'm lucky, I'll get to be there when it happens.
