Judgement of His People

[Chrysalis]

Finally, the judgement was done, the punishment was carried out, both satisfaction and disappointment could be seen on the faces of the people. Bassam...he didn't know what to think of it. Everyone who could see him in those last minutes of the judgement, and after, could only assume he wasn't completely clear with himself, on how he really felt about this.

Was he feeling some remorse? Was he satisfied? Or was he simply disappointed he couldn't make him suffer even more? No-one could tell for sure, but it didn't even matter, since everyone would now move on, carry on with their existence, the merciless killings, the razing and the pillaging, waiting for the chance where they would condemn another one they found guilty, perhaps someone they used to call "brother", yet again, for that's exactly how human kind is, rinse and repeat.

As the crowd left the scene, Hussaini remained behind staring down on the beheaded corpse without any significant movement, right until Jediah Bayne approached him.

"Honored One, what should we do with the remains?" - Jediah asked submissively.

Bassam Hussaini sighed and looked upon it one last time - "Hmpf. Dump it out of the airlock. Like I care."

Then he slowly left for his room, refusing to look back.
