Why?
"Why?" Bethany asks as the bluish gray taint of the dark spawn pumps through her veins, spreading across her once beautiful skin, destroying her. You should have protected her.
"Why?" Carver grits out, joining his twin, sharing the blight as they have shared everything; a birthday, and age... a death. He trusted you to get him out alive, but you didn't, you couldn't this was your plan all along, wasn't it? Their eyes go dead white.
"Why?" your mother, the beautiful Leandra cries, going to the two children you let die. She go to her children, the ones she always preferred over you, and wraps her stolen arms around them, tearing at the seams.
"Why?" Aveline holds her dead husband in her arms and you killed her when you forced her to kill him. She is a walking corpse. And when she lets him go, you see the blade protruding from her own stomach.
"Why?" Varric demands, red lyrium pulsing across his body like a living thing, consuming him. The shard of he idol is piercing his skin, sucking him dry. You should have known better, you should have known what would happen. You were his best friend. How could you let this happen?
"Why?" Isabela kicks and yells but she can't escape the Qunari, can't escape her crime, and the next time she sails will be her last. She thought she had escaped a life of confinement but you have sent her back to it in the worst possible way.
"Why?" Sebastian asks, confused, arrows aimed for his throat, once gleaming armor irreversibly stained with blood. The whole of Starkhaven's forces surround him, and the end is in sight. He closes his eyes and prays for the final time.
"Why?" Anders begs, struggling against the restrains as the Tranquil brand descends like a falling star, burning bright but no more wishes. Burning bright, burning, burning, nothing to burn anymore.
"Why?" Merrill whimpers, and the demon with its claws sunk deep into her laughs, and twitches its talons so she dances like a marionette. She cries and bleeds. You could have stopped this but you handed her the tools to her demise.
"Why?" the last words Fenris will say to you while he still remembers who you are and his fight died when you uttered those words take him. Perhaps it is a mercy. He will be stripped of every memory of you and your ultimate betrayal.
Why didn't you save me?
A birthday gift for Midnight Carnival, who should have told me earlier so I could have come up with something better than this! Happy birthday!
