He voiced his opinions to his mother, hoping that she would see that he was thinking this through and was taking his first lesson very seriously. “Mother, what is your favorite way of disposing of someone? Do you do as I did with the foal or do you use poison?” His imagination went wild as he thought of his mother as some goddess assassin able to kill her prey with just one look.
