The recent events swirled in Markell's head vividly, not a detail being missed. In his hands was his axe, being held tightly. So tightly in fact, Markell's knuckles became white as it was rave that fueled him at the moment. The Dane felt anger consuming him and even his calming breathing failed as it too became tainted with rage.

Out of anger, Markell threw his axe at the wall with a frustrated shout. The axe stuck deeply into the wall due to the force behind it but Markell didn't seem to care.

After a moment or so of mental debating, he sighs and begins to write.

"He hates me. He has to hate me. I but him through almost as much as mother. I...I'm no better than her, am I.." Markell asks himself, looking down at the ground now as he was sitting on the edge of his bed.
