Broken by One, Desired by All
And then our eyes had met.
Something had clicked.
Not friendship. Not respect. Hatred. Pure, unadulterated hatred.
Because Miles had seen me... really seen me, and he had known, in that instant, that I was his rival. And I had known the same.
We had clashed from the very beginning. Every test. Every trial. Every damned assignment.
If I was first, he was second, and vice versa. If I won a duel, he challenged me to another. If he proved himself in combat, I pushed myself harder, faster, stronger. It had been a war... one without bloodshed, but no less brutal for it.
