Summary
At first, being called "the next Plushenko" was an honour and a gift, and it and the bronze medal lay across his shoulders like a cloak, a cloak woven of the finest silk, a cloak Artur bore proudly.
As the months and years rolled by, that cloak had grown heavier and heavier, until it was more like an enormous slab of concrete bearing down on his shoulders, crushing him under its weight, a weight that try as he might Artur simply could not throw off. The rise and fall of the one who should have been King.
