The scene was bizarre even for Veronica, who should have expected something like this by now.
Considering Arthur's personality, however, it was understandable why anyone witnessing the sight would be confused and astounded. The man was down on one knee, his head bowed, presenting an unmistakable image of submission.
And Arthur and submission being used in the same sentence was strange enough on its own.
"You may rise," Kyle said.
He stood before the man for a moment, watching him closely as Arthur slowly rose to his full height. Yet even after standing, Arthur kept his head lowered, his usual pride nowhere to be seen.
Kyle broke the silence.
"Arthur, do you realize what has changed since the last time we were standing like this?"
Arthur nodded slowly.
"I have finally come to understand the extent of true strength, and I have willingly submitted myself to that light."
He slowly raised his head, and the reverence in his eyes was impossible to miss.
