Damocles' Helmet

Damocles - Truly, it must be wonderful to be so powerful, Dyonisius, my king.

Dyonisius - Power comes at a price. Would you like to switch with me, Damocles?

Damocles - Of course!

(They switch positions and Damocles notices a sword hovering above his head)

Damocles - Well, now I will use my power to call for the best blacksmith in the land. I want them to forge me an helmet that can withstand the sword's fall.

Dyonisius - That seems unfair...

Damocles - Perhaps you never thought about using your power to just insulate yourself from the consequence of your mistakes. Because that's what powerful smart fucks do.

Dyonisius - It is very difficult to get into position of power...

Damocles - Not when I use my power to ensure my descendents' and minions get more power for themselves in order to preserve mine and my descendents' power into eternity.

Dyonisius - Huhh...

Damocles - You are a fucking idiot, Dyonisius.
