Astarion is faster than I, rushing up the stairs and into the office with me in hot pursuit, but halfway up, my legs falter, and I crash to my knees. I'm almost sure I hear something crack, but I can't focus on that right now becauseβ€”

Becauseβ€”

Pressure builds within my chest, while at the same time, the ever-gnawing hunger in my stomach recedes. My senses dull, my hearing becomes less sharp, and the world becomes less pronounced.

"Rolim!" I hear Astarion's panicked scream, followed by thundering footsteps of the bodyguards rushing past me.

"Get a damn healer!"

I can't see the floating dustmotes anymore.
And my heartβ€”
It's beating.

Not in the way it does when I'm in battle, replacing the blood I lose at breakneck speed.

No, this is different.

For the first time in nearly two centuries…

I draw breath…

And I actually feel the rush it brings, feel that I needed it.

I'm alive again.

"Forgive me."

I jerk awake to the echo of Rolim's voice in my head, when we found him in the office. A bloodcurdling scream had caused us to rush in, finding the room in disarray and Rolim lying in the middle of it, blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth.

We'd asked him what happened, but he didn't answer.

Just kept asking for forgiveness.

And now, whenever I close my eyes, I see him like this and I pray to every god I know that this image won't be the last I've ever seen of him alive.

I initially wanted to write something for #MelethNestadui today. Give my boys some softness after the womp of #TheSzarrTrials.

But #RolimOC has other plans. So now we're writing traumatized Astarion waiting for the healer to tell him if Ro lives or dies instead!

FUN! πŸ₯Ή

I don't drink often, but now, after the stress and the accusations of the past few days, it seems like the only appropriate thing to do to quiet my mind and numb it to all of this shitfuckery.

So I've grabbed a bottle of whiskey and tucked myself away in the office of our safe house.

I stare at the ring of Wish in front of me. Mulling over my decision.

I know Withers gave it to me to extend my lifespan to match Astarion's, but to do that seems awfully selfish, when I could be doing something else with itβ€”something far better.

Guys, guys, guys... It's happening.

The Szarr Trials - Chapter 4 - ShandoraTheExplorer - Baldur's Gate (Video Games) [Archive of Our Own] An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

I just posted two new chapters for #TheSzarrTrials
It might not be a lot of words, but it took a lot out of me. This fanfic is quite heavy in topic, and it's only getting darker from here on out as #RolimOC 's mental health deteriorates.

Making my friend retreat into a bit of a writing retreat always pays off.
Wrote two chapters today, one for #BrokenMirrors and the last one of #TheFallOfHouseErbil.
Tomorrow, I'll work on #MelethNestadui and #TheSzarrTrials!
