You're right, Riptide. I am Minimus Ambus. A no-name member of a now barren and empty House who aspired to be someone greater. Literally, anyone greater. I hid my name, my identity, in hopes that I could live forever as a legend, all because I wanted to be something more. Something like my brother, Dominus.
The difference between you and I, Riptide? Is that I can hide myself in armor.
[Tyrest's words ring out in his mind. How he'd turned the title of 'Ultra Magnus' into a laughing stock. A useless pencil pushing bureaucrat.]
You, at least, can make people laugh. Look around you, Riptide, at all of the lives you've touched. Look how many came to your defense when I tried to arrest you. All you can see are your shortcomings because that is what is being shoved into your face. Step away from that and look at yourself objectively, and you'll find yourself surrounded by so many, many lives that want you as happy as you have made them.
