Ch. 9 The Young Duke Monstroke There are so many stories to be told of these happy and sometimes not so happy characters that I struggle to keep on a straight course. I am going to diverge for a moment, or possibly more, if my mind wanders, and introduce to you one of my least favorite fellows in these tales. His name is Monstroke. Why do I not like young Duke Monstroke, you ask? Well, mostly because he is selfish and really never thinks of anyone but himself. It is so very hard to like a selfish person. He is what the fantasy world calls an "evil villain" and the psychology world calls a "narcissist." In short, he thinks the universe revolves around him and is impossibly blind to the hurts or cares of anyone around him--including, and most especially, animals. His selfishness drives him to cruelty without hesitation. He only thinks of his own self-preservation. In his mind everyone is against him. I am sorry to say ...
