This attack actually caused Dev to stumble, a flicker of terror crossing his face before it crossed into pure wrath. "You think I know nothing of loneliness? I spent more than fifty years trapped in a cage and shackled in my own mind. A mere sixty years can't truly compare to your situation, but you at least had the other Eldest to interact with. I was ignored except when they wanted to hurt me. I<strong>know</strong>I am insignificant, I don't need someone in denial about the same thing to tell me. But this fight isn't about me, oh brightest of the Eldest, it is about you. You and your failings. You accuse me of being insignificant. I accuse you of being empty and delusional, trite and repetitive. You claim to be laughter, never realizing you laugh alone, and only the mindless sycophants laugh with you. You claim guile, but your methods are well used and repetitive, lacking innovation and inspiration. You claim transformation, but have only effected the most base of changes before announcing success or boredom. You are<strong>empty</strong>,<strong>trite</strong>, alone, unloved, a bully, and a clever thief, oh lord of the bad deal."
