challenge100's #32 "Every Inch a King" challenge.
Notes: Inspired by the following Shakespeare quote: As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods; / They kill us for their sport. (Gloucester, King Lear, 4.1.36-37)
Glory's singleminded quest for Dawn, her Key, had nearly destroyed them all. This world, and its inhabitants, were wholly insignificant to her. But, hero that she was, Buffy still hadn't been able to bring herself to kill Ben, deeming him an innocent. However, Giles had done morally ambiguous things before. He was no stranger to expediency. He also knew that there was no possible way that Ben had been completely harmless, that something in him must have welcomed the Hellgod's interference in his life.
And as his hand and fingers closed off Ben's airway, Giles felt nothing. Nothing at all.
