He Who Would Be King

He Who Would Be King is the sixty-second chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
The group continues, but as Coagion lashes out at the commanders Haebin points out that Coagion didn't do anything when the other royals rode by and attacked. He leaves the group and isolates himself, and Maire joins him. She acknowledges his frustrations, but Haebin explains that he didn't always hate Coagion and indeed only resented him when he was made king suddenly.

She asks him whether he'd ever encountered anything like the fingers of Aranicus that stretched out before them, and he repeats something that he mentioned earlier. She draws attention to this and realizes suddenly that he might be referring to the children he lost. Unnerved, she withdraws, but he holds onto her and states that he's willing to move on with her, but wishes to wait until the end of everything so that he can focus on her exclusively. Maire is not happy with the solution, but doesn't draw attention to it and agrees.
