Mom concentrated her power onto you bu, to her surprise, you did not shrink. Sensing that you had successfully resisted her magic, you folded your arms. "I'm tired of being a slave to this family, mom." you said. "Either start treating me as a valued member of this family or cut me loose."
Mom looked at you surprised, then smiled. "Well, its about time." she muttered. "I was beginning to think you were a hopeless case, doomed to forever serve us." she gave a dark giggle. "I'd love to treat you as a valued member of this family, dear... once you earn that right."
"I've been treated like crap for twelve years, mom!" you fired back. "What did that earn me!?"
Mom smiled. "The magic needed to resist our power, of course." she replied. "Now comes your training, which will give you the magic power needed to become a warlock." she again darkly giggled. "Once you achieve that power, you will become an official member of this family."
You shuddered, remembering Sarah's warning of what that training may involve. "Where... where do I start?" you asked.
Mom shook her head, a mischievous smile forming on her face. "Since you believe we've been so unfair to you, I will allow you a choice." she said. "You can either allow me to regress you to the age of five and be trained through an intense series of tests and trials over the next five years. Once it is over, I will be proud to officially declare my darling ten year old son."
"What is the other option." you asked, almost too frightened to know.
"The other option is to continue as you are now, being our slave." replied mom, still smiling. "This will last another twelve years but there is a bright side. You will walk away from it all as a very powerful twenty nine year old warlock and a very valued member of this family as you will then be more powerful than us all."
She then crossed her arms. "So, Mark... what will it be, five years of torture to become my son or twelve years of hell to become our master?"
You had not expected this, especially not the irony of you being able to torture your entire family for the years of torment they had forced upon you. Only now you understand the reasoning behind the torment, it was to help you build enough magical power to protect yourself. Now, you had a choice... earn to become the loved son you always wished to be or earn to become their master and rule over them all.
What do you decide?
