You Thought You Knew Me (Villain Song)

[@realrickyshea]

Enraged, the hero draws his sword and closes the distance. He pulls back... but can't bring himself to follow through. The villain did not even flinch, just stands there smirking with absolute confidence, knowing that he is in no danger.

[@Ra1d3n-np9lr]

As the hero begins to break down in tears the villain places his hand on his shoulder and then proceeds to jab a dagger right into the hero’s side all while keeping the cold, confident and sadistic smile on his face.

[@Zelk37]

The smile doesn't last long, though. As they try to pull the dagger back, a hand grabs the arm, locking them in place. The sword goes up in a flash, faster than they can react or register, and before they know it..........they both see and feel a sword lodged in their chest, up through their ribs. Looking at the hero's face, all they see now is nothing but a blank mask.........save the eyes, asking a single question: Why?

[@DizzyRainbow157]

The hero than falls to the ground and as they are bleeding out they say one last line I trusted you The Villain then looked down at the hero’s life less body and started to feel remorse and sadness because in reality the villain was in love with the hero but the villain didn’t want to have any weakness so they decided to kill their friend (the hero) The villain then dropped down to their knees and started to cry the smile finally faded and so did the villains will to live ..

[@LunaM.-s9p]

The Villain stood and whispered a apology before approaching the cliff where they had once shared dreams, pains and many secrets, he looks down into the waters below and began to take a step. He heard a voice behind him that stopped him in his tracks, he turned to see a tear faced child glaring at him, " what did you do to my (sibling)?!" They yelled with grief and anger. The Villain then disappeared into the woods with no reply to them as they knew what the child would become.

[@zakariyamalik1352]

The most interesting way I can think of this is a villain who was a hero BEFORE the story started, but the lives of many they had saved as a hero is dependent on the power siphoned from the villain, not only causing the villain now possible as a fight but causing the victor to cause hundreds, or even thousands of times more fatalities due to his sheer dominance as a hero. Every mocking laughter in fact nostalgia, every smile cracked by guilt, you never knew him. Your darling is where “you placed” your faith before, now being a dagger.

He'll take care of everything on his own, even if it means everyone ends up hating him (it's a fantasy story and he is actually cursed with not being able to lie so he had to put another curse on himself to be able to be the so called villain of the story xD) (It's a lot more cooler than this in the actual story help 😭😭😭😭xDDDDD)

Words can't describe how amazing this song was it was beautiful it was so cruel yet so genius honestly one of my fav plot twists in history where the villain just builds walls of trust only to break them in an instant this song has so much lore and story behind it which again I love when stories are told through song and your voice! Ugh it was amazing the cunning cocky tone of a villain who knows he's won and has planted seeds of doubt that will forever stay in the heroes mind just genius and you not only made the villain his most trusted ally but also his mentor that is just amazing because then the betrayal is more deep and personal and the lines were even more amazing it was telling the story of evil rising and good falling Such a masterpiece ✨

I love a directorial design and I want the whole song up to “designed by me” to play during the confrontation. Then after everything has been done to get the story you had across after “good has concurred all” and the usual positive wrap up has happened have the credits role over a screen of the hero entering a place alone (maybe the very study the confrontation happens) and the rest of the song plays with that last instrumental being the fade to regular credits. Showing that Cassian won. The hero succeeded but Cassian will haunt them the rest of their lives and has truest turned their heart cold because even in their happiest moment of triumph they think of their betrayal.

After a while when all the people the op were with with the old character were together, he poisoned them all. And with the rules of the server, everything he did was perfectly ok as bad as it was.
