In a gruesome act Malfonz took the head of Neova and chucked it towards the wall behind Neova, Malfonz trying to rip his head apart from his body. But just as the skin was ripping apart at the last second and time was repeated with the energy of Neova's thoughts, this time only Malfonz was seen, he was sitting all alone on the same tea shop where Neova and him first met.
Something was different, people were afraid of Malfonz, as Malfonz decided to take a stroll across the streets, he was confused because he only did his wrathful behavior in his hometown, and most of the time he is secretive. But as Malfonz started to think through his past actions of fighting Neova, he understood that the fighting would often get out of hand and lead to fights in the streets where people could see them.
As well as according to Malfonz he made it so his demeanor outside of the streets was of mystery, because often in literature those were the cool people and the fan favorites. In his head he was delusioned as if he were lucid dreaming, but even that facade was slowly fading. The people were afraid of him in a different way, and then posters and symbols, of a new king, a king and his servant. The duo of Neova and his servant Malfonz. Malfonz thinking this was a loop was confused, he decided to walk not because he lost but because he wanted a break before his anger returned again, like a childs game.

People only judge by the cover of the book. Malfonz was the book who contained the contents of the cover. But people were not afraid of Malfonz because of his unrule and his unjustice, no people were afraid because of his role to play, he was the servant of Neova and this was their Empire, this was their "what if".
--
Just as Malfonz was praising himself of being so mysterious and alluring he had to be humbled again, so Malfonz stumbled into the kingdom gates, outside of Malfonz and Neova's hometown where they used to drink often. Since the hometown is near the kingdom's edge, less and less law and regulations function there. In the center there tends to be more care given to the people. Like a class system. Malfonz in his younger age used to work often in these places in order to sell and create opportunities for more income, but he stopped working for a while, he didn't need to work anymore since he was rich. But stumbling at the gates of the king ... Malfonz met Neova again and as they greeted each other, Neova's demeanor was of friendliness, rather than of wrath or anger. Fin.

Part 2: Wrath seen as self destruction
Malfonz asked Neova of his family, but just as he was about to speak a word, Neova stopped his sentence and they went through the hallways of butlers and trophies. Just as they came across the balcony, Malfonz asked again something "did we ever fight", Neova confused asked what he meant. Malfonz said "I guess we never argued", then Malfonz asked "does it not get boring at the top". Neova then said "this balcony was given its place to help people by being able to see the far and beyond", Malfonz then said "but if our dreams are accomplished what do we have", Neova said "we have riches and we have people". Malfonz said a bit irritated "if my dream was to be seen as above the land and masses, why do we not simply kill our own being because we have accomplished our goals set from when we were children". Neova could only say "but don't you destroy the balcony then, if someone has reached the top, maybe that small glimpse could lead you to write days of journals on why you are happy to have lived, and to keep living because you no longer have to dream anymore". Malfonz then angrily said "what if your dream was endless due to the need to collect a foundation of paper and pennies endlessly, that widened goal would never stop how do you continue knowing a dream could never be accomplished because it outgrows you?". Neova said "then don't you have a reason to continue living, but maybe down the line you could notice the stupidity in such goals and not wanting something never ending". Neova said "the least important thing in ones life is what we value the most because we have something to occupy the dread of living by doing things that make you feel emotion and therefore make you want to continue living".
Malfonz wondered if he could be half the man Neova came to be. But Malfonz knew his goal was never to be king, but to be the air people could only look upon and be mesmerized by. No matter how long this moment lasts it will end and he will start anew. It was either to have a goal that ends and live in that satisfaction of having been the best of you or a goal that never ends never leaving you tired creating a feeling of worth in this world of tragedy. Because wrath isn't just anger, it always ends with I was good at it so I did it.
Malfonz knew he was a better man, but he could not see him other than the man he hated on and that love was simple, that love was of hate. From day to day life too a new day. Just as Malfonz set on top of the sofa two rooms behind the balcony, he was being taken care of by butlers. Malfonz was a servant but in this "if" he was also a friend to Neova as they started this journey together. As his feet were being washed. Malfonz said no, he felt wrong, he saw the good side of humanity in a while, but Malfonz just got up and walked off. Like he said before, Malfonz did not consider life bad anymore, he considered humans in the same light as people who deserve to live, and he decided that he did not want a human to suffer and lose anything by his hands anymore, he considered this to happen to his worst enemy. But Neova was considered something beyond worse to him, after coming across a person who could be the parental figure he never had, he understood not all people are good nor bad.
Just because he hated Neova does not mean that is a forever event, maybe one day they can recoup, maybe that starts today, maybe not. So as Malfonz was gonna start coming to the castle, he met up with Neova and they exchanged good nights as they readied for sleep. Fin.

Part 3: A new day
Malfonz fell asleep like a stone, and Neova just pondered about what he wants in his future as he falls asleep. Days pass, and a new meeting is being held about who owns what land and for how long, after a few months judgment day is held in which a new person owns another man's land in order to fix the potential issues in the state of living for the people, to better the economy. One person ruling over one piece of land becomes a dictatorship as they said, hence judgement day. Malfonz was a bit phased but he could care less about what state his land is in, because he never owned the land in the first place. Malfonz never pondered about him not being king yet, but his wishes changed within a night, a king could only ever give him more things to do, he would rather laze about and sleep all day because all his energy goes somewhere and he didn't want that. Though Malfonz cannot really sleep, he just closes his eyes and lets his body become a release... that energy is washes over him and he becomes one with the bed, it is a nice luxury because he doesn't feel pain but the pleasure in letting that energy release was just as liberating as if he were to dream.
But Malfonz and his existence was split between realities, the good was in this world, the bad was in another world and so on. Each reality was like a broken mirror, in one reality Malfonz was walking across empty dark rooms with only black as the color across the surface, the sky and the things in front of him. This was a Malfonz that was afraid of what was in front of him, as he walked across the surface without an end in sight, all that could be seen in front of him was a detached blackened smile of a person he could never reach. Now the world was asleep.
... .. .
This reality was not of only him, each reality had a Malfonz and Neova in them, this worlds Neova was the twisted smile looking right at Malfonz who was unfaced, Malfonz walked endlessly but nothing could hurt him in that world. In another reality was Malfonz alone in a white world with all things white, but this world held the deeper depths of Malfonz twisted self, and this worlds Neova was a Malfonz as well, a twisted Malfonz if he was way worse than the version of him placed on that white surface. On that surface it was the first Malfonz and his mortal enemy, the first Malfonz's appearance was loose and faceless, with arms and legs contorting never touching the surface and the Neova there was worse because he was bound by no moral or law, all the wrong fantasies existing in one thing, that thing holding onto itself a mirror for a mask. A white being that blends into its background and a being who could change his shape to look like its enemy. What made this being far worse, his voice was of the enemies past, and as the two are at it, a single white spike dividing into three spikes crushes the head and the two arms of the face less Malfonz, just as the spike retracts echoing laughter can be heard and the first Malfonz stretches his hand out to form a spike stabbing the white beast on repeat laughing. Simplistic actions don't have repercussions in a simplistic world.
Just as the cracks are about to connect all the Malfonz turn to one, each having memories of the different realities, and as the pain of crossing realities kicks in echoing laughter can be heard.
Malfonz: Stop laughing at me
Malfonz: Stop laughing at me
Malfonz: Stop laughing at me
Malfonz: Stop laughing at me
Malfonz: Stop laughing at me
Malfonz: Stop laughing at me
Malfonz: Stop laughing at me
Malfonz: Stop laughing at me
Malfonz: Father Stop laughing at me
Malfonz: Mother Stop laughing at me
. . .
Just as Malfonz fell and landed on skulls, the crown fell but who was Malfonz ruling over, "THIS IS NOT RIGHT, AAAGH", says Malfonz getting nauseated and then he is seen walking in the dark abyss with a smile right in front of him. A black corridoor symbolizing his darkest times to come and as he keeps walking, the image of Neova's smile looming right next to him just hidden enough behind the black infront of him.
. . .
Malfonz is then seen screaming, "I CAN CHANGE, I CAN CHANGE, HOW LONG DO I HAVE, I CAN CHANGE". Just as the smile contorts to a door, a door that has people trying to jump out of it. A faceless man tells Malfonz "this world gave nothing to you, would the kid right in front of you care any less if you died or lived, they only see the ball they hold because they wanna play right now". Just as the light appears, Neova is seen standing about to fall just as Malfonz takes on his collar asking him "why WHY DID YOU END THAT DREAM FOR ME, WE WERE FRIENDS, I WAS BEGINNING TO SEE PEOPLE AND YOU TOOK THAT AWAY". Just as the laughter echoes, Neova can only say, "I miss that life we had too, but look at us can we ever redeem ourselves, can we say goodbye to our past because there exists consequences". Malfonz retorts, "but why care about consequences if we never need to face them, EVEN IF IT ISN'T MORAL". Neova, "HOW CAN WE CHANGE". Malfonz retorts laughing "I have changed, why care about what's moral anymore". Echoing laughter getting louder. Fin.
