Eternal
You’ve been a fool over one woman in the past, why not another one? At least you can identify with Lena’s obsession a bit better than Talia’s worship of Dendrin. It may be true that one day your luck will run out, but you’ve been running on borrowed time for decades. What better way to die in battle beside one you care about?
Just like you should’ve years ago…
“What’s wrong?” Lena asks due to your silence to her previous statement.
“Nothing. Nothing at all.” You say and give her a kiss on the lips.
“I’d just prefer if you listened to my ideas a little more in the future. I’m only looking out for your safety.”
“I know. You’re probably right. I’d like to stay alive long enough to kill every eternal after all.” Lena says with a small chuckle and then holds on to her side when it causes a bit of pain.
Lena spends the rest of the week healing up. It’s the longest amount of “downtime” you’ve had in quite a while. You’d actually enjoy it a bit more, if Dendrin didn’t visit you and continue to impart his views on your situation.
“She’s going to lead you to ruin. I’m telling you Eternal.” Dendrin remarks.
“Yes, yes, yes. You’ve been telling me that for years now. You should know at this point I don’t give a shit if it does. It’s better than living like I was. At least now I feel alive again. Besides you were always bitching at me for living like a hermit anyway.”
“Yes, but I didn’t know you were exchange one self destructive lifestyle for another.”
“Dendrin, my whole fucking life has been self-destructive, long before I even had the misfortune of meeting you. My first major choice I can remember was either to beg for my life or die when I was five. I chose to die. Pretty much tells you all you need to know about me. So how about you leave me alone once and for all and let me get back to it okay? You’ll get no more entertainment from this mortal.”
“Apparently not. Very well then Eternal, go forth and die.”
And that’s the last time you ever hear from Dendrin.
Year 54
Here you are hold up in some abandoned cabin with svelk mercenaries shouting obscenities from outside. Lena lies on a dirty bed bleeding out and attempting to stay conscious. You’re not doing too good yourself. You knew it would end like this and you still don’t regret your decision in what is probably going to be your last moments on this world.
It’s only a matter of time before the svelk just decide to burn you out. Somehow you can’t help but laugh at the fact that the first person who nearly killed you was a svelk. Everything has come full circle it seems.
“Is..it…(cough) time?” Lena weakly asks.
“Can you stand up?”
“I don’t think so…I hurt all over and just want to sleep.”
“Its okay, you’ll be able to sleep soon. We both will. Here I’ll help, just grab your dagger.”
You pick up Lena in an attempt to stand her up and while she’s practically dead weight, you manage to do it.
“Do…you ever regret saving me?” Lena asks.
“Never.” You tell her and kiss her one more time before exiting the cabin with her.
You and Lena make it five steps before the svelk open fire on you with their crossbows.
