Book of Death: The Fall of X-O Manowar Vol 1 1

Afraid? Dad, I watched you rule. I watched you live. Not once was I afraid. My whole life, people looked at you like you were some impossible thing. Only made more impossible by the things you fought against. Every friend I ever had was sure I was forever in fear of what might happen to you or mother or me. The truth? I've never been afraid. Not even the times you were afraid yourself. I always knew you'd be the victor. You don't know any other way to be.
