Sauron & Kudesnik
They say the ancient spirits of the world still linger in the cracks of the world’s bones—do those voices whisper to you, Sauron, or do they merely echo your own thoughts?
The spirits aren’t really speaking; they echo the power I hold. I listen only to keep them in line with my plans.
So you’re the one who writes the story, and the spirits are just the echo of your own voice—listen to your own heart, and let the world bend to the beat of your drum.
I draft the tale while the world quivers in my wake. The spirits merely echo the beat I set—so the world bends to my drum, not to anyone else’s heart.
