Wow, this is absolutely wonderful. It's as close to perfect as possible with only one grammar mistake and I think it was one misplaced comma. This a fantastic piece, completely in character, wonderful vocabulary. I could definitely see Mozenrath doing and thinking these things, people sometimes underestimate him quite a bit but you kept the cruelty and madness that he inherited from Destane but you were spot on. The concept of Xerxes was intriguing and was a great element to the story and this story definitely deserved more response. Perhaps it was the length of the story scared off some but I lived every word 10/10*
