Cinder was leaning on one of the pillars near Aku’s throne. Moving from the shadows, she raked her hand through her hair before speaking. “Aku… I need your honest opinion… I’m at the crossroads of a choice I can make… And either way someone will get hurt-“

The demon had noticed her standing there some time ago but hadn’t bothered to look up. He was reading from some large and ancient-looking tome that hovered in the air before him by way of pure magic. When Cinder stepped forth and began to speak, Aku kept his eyes on the page.

Go on…” he replied idly. Funny that she would come to him, of all people, with her concerns. But he knew there had to be some reason for it.

envision yourself having all that power at your disposal! you could use it to change the future or the past. you could use it to fight the gods. you could use it to defeat samurai jack or erase him from existence. just imagine!

After sitting with arms folded against his chest, the demon finally exploded.

I ALREADY HAVE!!” 

Was it really such a surprise? Aku did indeed fancy the thought of having that kind of power. But in a rather confusing conflict of thought, he felt both guilty and angry. Mostly angry.

But that does not mean I have plans to take it,” he growled. After all, thoughts and actions were two separate things. 

What was it like being a tree

Imagine being trapped in a confined space, unable to move, speak or be heard. Now imagine that you have been forgotten in this tiny prison for years upon years with no hope for escape. As you yearn for freedom, you are fully conscious of every passing moment and you wonder if the endless passage of time will slowly drive you to madness. 

That is what it was like.
