In a way, I lucked out.
I could have been playing Lincoln or Warlock Wolf, or even Nixon. Someone with a powerful, complex personality that bore no real resemblance to me. I could have been snuffed out like a candle while someone else walked the earth in my place.
....I could have been playing World of Warcraft instead, but that kind of luck just doesn't happen to me.
No, I got stuck with someone who was such a cardboard cutout that it doesn't take any effort at all to ignore his insane rants. That was the good luck.
The bad luck? Even though no one was playing his lieutenants at the time, they were defined as parts of him. His shadows.
My shadows, now, all three of them.
Controlling them is the tricky part.
Welcome to the Mirror Kingdom: population, me.
