The Birth of a Villain

An interchange between Vi and Jinx from Arcane

A disappointment clearly,

In your eyes,

I saw,

frailty and fear,

failures piled high,

In that time of need,

Our bond left behind,

With madness and grief,

Turning siblings to enemies,

In a single moment,

The choice was made,

I saw,

In those flames of regret,

A hand of malice extended,

A salvation offered,

A place of belonging was found,

You are lost to me now,

Our bond, dead and gone,

Languishing,

Littered with regrets,

my sister,

filled with rage,

I've become a villain,

Instead of a hero.
