Summary: There was a man, and the Rider let him fall. For drabbles100.


"There was a man," Merriman said. "And you let him fall."

There was an incredulous note in the Rider's voice, masked by a contemptuous laugh. "You seek vengeance?"

"Yes and no," Merriman said, calmly, completely unperturbed. "I seek what the Light always seeks: an end to the Dark. I would have been tireless before, but now..." There is a tight smile on his face that doesn't suit him. The Rider's face was blank.

"This is pointless. The Light is the Light. You would seek my death either way."

"No," Merriman said, soft with threat. "I seek your end."

That gave me a chill. Loved the distinction at the end. One simple word gives the statement a whole different meaning.

Vengeance takes a lot of differnt forms. It might have been death before, but this changes things. I always felt sorry for Hawkin, the Walker.
