And so it came.

“Wake up, Nei.”

 

 

 

Cold… But it wasn't cold mere minutes ago. His eyes forced him awake, or was it the dream’s end? The wind slapped him in the face hardly as he slowly started to stand up, wincing in pain with the lacerations a dire wolf had caused him. Dire wolves, this far north. It was weird for him. North was warm, south was cold.

 

The dark elf carried himself over to the remains of a lit fire, hand covering one of the cuts into his stomach, plopping himself down onto the snow next to the destroyed fire. Wincing in pain, his mind decided this was the right time to start ******* with him.

 

“Do you really love me?”

“I do.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I was scared. Scared you might leave me.”

“You should’ve told me…. No petty curse would make me leave you.”

 

Why now? He felt as if he was about to die… Maybe he was. Cold, cutted and lacking resources… Perhaps he should just stay…

 

“You drank it?”

“No, I didn’t. Those fucks want me dead for killing that half-blood scum.”

“You were defending me…”

“Silence, both.”

“But…”

“Just run, Nei… Run…”

 

They didn’t trust him. They never did. His crazed mind after the roll of bad situations passed onto him like a truck on a highway. But he ran…

 

“You aren’t welcome here anymore.”

“Karin’ayla, Evar. Been a while.”

“Just leave, Nei. You are banished…”

 

His name… What was his name? It was too big… Usually just called Nei, but having taken in so many adoptive family names. Nei Serene, Nei Silma, Nei this, Nei that. It was too much to keep track, really.

 

“They killed him… Nei, they killed Toren…”

“They’ll pay for it… I swear on my grave, they’ll pay for it.”

 

It didn’t matter really. The snow around him was white. It comforted him. At least the snow was peaceful…

 

But then, the snow changed color… And his vision… dimmed. How odd.

 

And it changed color again… It got darker, but it seemed so much lighter…

 

And so, the snow… it’s pure, innocent colors… were ruined…

 

((OOC: Nei was fun. He has died for a while now, but… it was really confusing to me as to why I PK’d him in the first place. From married druid dedicant to broken, mad scholar. I’m not very good at sticking with characters, I have too many ideas… But Nei’s time as a character were arguably the best 3 months I’ve had in LotC. Thank you all who made Nei’s life enjoyable, even though I made him as a temp character, he stayed as a main. -Brazilianski PS: This post is pre-End of Atlas))
