Eternal
You’re having a hard enough time concentrating as it is, you aren’t going to waste time trying to cast a spell. Besides you got by just fine without magic in the past and if you kill them all quick enough the danger will be over.
You quickly kill the orc that Talia is fighting and just in time too since she is visibly exhausted from the battle.
“Are you all right?”
“Yeah…I just…my head…”
“Stay out of the way and just keep fighting it, this’ll be over soon.” You say and Talia staggers over to a nearby tree out of the way of the major fighting.
You dispatch another orc and then another and then another, but the voices seem to be growing more numerous and more powerful.
“You cannot win! Cease your struggle! You are…”
“SHUT UP!” you yell out as you run your sword through the neck of another orc.
You barely avoid another attack, but not from an orc, but rather from one of your own shadows. When you see his face up close it has that same unnaturally wide mouth filled with sharp teeth. Its at that point you realize what you’re dealing with, wendigos. You briefly read about them in Kane’s journal after you took Fort Destiny. They’re evil spirits that constantly crave flesh and possess bodies of the living, which explains why the voices have been getting stronger as you’ve been depriving them of bodies. Now they’ve hopped into the bodies of your shadows.
You go on the defensive and put up a good fight despite being outnumbered and assaulted physically and mentally, but it all comes to an end when you suddenly feel a strong force hit your back and then through your body and out your chest. You look down to see a clawed hand drenched in blood and what looks to be part of your heart.
The claw is pulled back out and you fall to the snow dead. Talia gobbles up your heart before joining the rest of the shadows devouring your body.
