Chapter 8

Gren is an artist now.
Mighty Lord Gaspare spoke with Gren after Gren's performance. Asked Gren
questions. Blessed Gren with his art in form of mark. Already great mark
sets Gren's blood to fire and ice in turn, making Gren feel greatness and
pain in chest as mark decrees. Gren's next work will be painful, but when
Gren's words come they shall be greatest yet. As Lord Gaspare has blessed
Gren with a mark, Gren shall now make own mark upon world. Greatest
journey begins now.
Gren must decide on way to proceed. Blood still burns with the moment of
being considered artist, but Gren know this shall pass and low shall come.
When Gren performed before crowd, many in Empire that Gren believe were
simply curious before were impressed. This is good. Gren will show these
more art, and hope that they can gain even greater appreciation. Is good
lesson, Gren must not write off even shadows as being beyond inspiring.
Immediate concern of Gren's is fate of Dreadlord. Emperor seem eratic to
Gren, and seem to be wanting to make Gren Dreadlord. Gren will be
Dreadlord on Gren's terms, and nuh betray potential artist to do this.
Gren must try find way to secure Dreadlord's position at least until art
can come to fruition. Gren's options limited here, but Gren must think
about this. Maybe if Gren gets self demoted this stall plans for at least
a while, but nuh great plan. Gren good elite!
Gren nuh good at this thinking stuff, but Gren better than was when young.
Maybe when Gren is old and weak Gren will have got hang of it.
