Napoleon is on Elba, where in his misery and contemplation he befriends a black slave named Pascal
Pascal listens to all of Napoleons stories from his glory days and becomes a close confidant and favorite of Bonaparte. Feeling guilty and separated from his fellow slaves from all the special treatment, Pascal begins to subtly persuade Bonaparte to make an attempt to reclaim his glory.
Napoleon is convinced, attempts this, and is victorious. However once he has returned to his place as ruler of France, Pascal confesses his motives, and his wish for him and his family to be freed. Napoleon sees Pascal as a lucky charm and cannot accept his request. When Pascal runs off in the night, Napoleon is loses all confidence, and then proceeds to lose the battle of Waterloo.
After settling briefly in a small town somewhere in Belgium, Pascal cannot keep his mouth shut about his former friend and his role in one of the most shocking events in European history. After a drunken night in a bar he is roughed up, kidnapped by British soldiers, and is sold into slavery again on St Helena in a cruel twist of fate.
Napoleon, in the final scene, castigates Pascal, and remarks on the irony of their fates: both equally imprisoned, but one for being the emperor, and one for being a foolish and drunken black.

The book is mainly about fate and destiny. I want to portray Napoleon as shameless and arrogant, constantly telling Pascal to his face- not even in an insulting manner, how inferior he is, and ultimately to have the world of the story confirm this bleak prediction. The reason I cant write it cause I don't know nearly enough about the history to come off as anything but ridiculous.
