Lore
For years I have watched him: elegant, tall, chilling to see work. His body flexes and ripples as he strikes his enemies down. The strange contraption on his back pulses with energy as it extracts the lively red essence from his target’s lifeless body. He revels in the utter bliss that is death, and I watch him hunger for more as he preys on the next unwilling soul to part with their body. Every time he kills only sprouts greater admiration for him within my chest. No, not admiration, something more, something stronger than any adoration I could bless upon him. But alas, his lust for greater game and power consumed his greater judgment. The all so appetizing essence filled his mind with the idea that he could bring down that wretched monster from another world. It utterly decimated his body, as he was lucky to escape from the perils of that horrible being's talons. I watched earnestly from close by, as i began crying out to him but was never heard. Reaching a lone abandoned building of solace, I skulked behind him as he tried to recuperate and stop the bleeding; that ever excessive bleeding. I never will understand why mortals have to use such a wasteful life force to remain on this world. The light began to fade from his eyes as his body began to go limp on the crumbling ground that appeared to be an old sanctuary of some sort. I couldn’t possibly allow such a marvelous specimen such as him perish on this forgotten ground. I hastily moved him away from the sanctuary, away from any human contact and into the land of spirits where my abode of shadow resides.
Laying upon my bed, the fleeting moments of his life began to ease away into nothingness. I then gave him a kiss upon his warm lips, a kiss of death. His body had healed itself from the bloody ordeal it had once been aside from the lingering scars that remained. I lay beside him, watching him sleep peacefully after his body had writhed from the pain of healing. Before i too began to rest I saw his skin begin to lose pigment. He began to stir after three days and stood as far away from him as possible, not in fear but in curiosity. He awoke completely confused, both on how he was able to survive and where he now was. He begun to search around frantically, trying to get a grasp on his surroundings. Outside the window were a mix of greens and transparent blues that made up what were to be trees and grass. The sky was an opaque black, with neither clouds or stars visible. he looked back around the room, my room. Gothic like structures ornate this space, lit only by candles emitting blue flame.
“Where are we?” he questioned calmly.
“A place where you have sent many,” I replied with a smile.
“What do you mean?”
“I have seen you in your line of work-”
On instinct he placed his hand to my throat lifting me in the air slightly, “Are you here to kill me?”
“How can I kill what is already dead?” I said while gently removing his hand from my neck. Not that I need air anyways.
Perplexed, he look over to a mirror in another room that I had dangling upon the wall. Upon closer inspection he noticed that the room he now resided in was none other than my bedroom and the mirror that hung from the wall was my bathroom. Releasing the object from my neck he made his way over to the bathroom and gazed at himself in the mirror. His eyes once a warm and inviting brown have shifted to a cold and pale blue, the skin that was smooth and tanned was now coated with an icy white pigment, and his hair that had been a beautiful auburn which waved in the wind was dyed a dark and ever enveloping black. He looked back at me with shock, but not horror.
“What have you done to me?”
“I have given you the gift of which you have always sought. The gift of death.”
“But I never asked for this…”
“No,” I said walking towards him. I then wrapped my arms around his neck lovingly, “but now you are able to strike foes without the fear of your life. You can now do things a mere mortal could only dream of and, most importantly, you can have your revenge upon the one that did this to you,” I said fingering the gash within his sternum placed by the creature.
“Show me what I can do,” said the object of my affection now thoroughly interested.
“That is not for me to teach, but I could take you to where they can...under one condition,”
“And what would that be?”
“You stay with me here, forever,” I whispered into his ear.
He looked around, assessing his new predicament, and replied with a sigh.
“As if I had a choice…”
I smiled gleefully and grabbed his hands, dragging him back into the bedroom with me towards the window. As we peered out into the swirling and shimmering protrusions of the landscapes outside, I rested my head upon his shoulder, finally paired with the man I have longed for. One that knows beauty in death.
"Welcome Home Aeron, my dear assassin."
“He is a man who sees the beauty in death, and I am death itself.” – Thana
