I awoke quickly. I wanted the dream to be done. I heard the archdemon…I could feel it's thundering growls and it's watchful eye.
Everyone else was up as well, with horrified looks on their faces.
"Did you feel that?" Alistair asked. "It was like the archdemon…saw us…"
"Damn it." I cursed. "Hear that?" I asked. I heard noise from the woods. I sprung up, grabbing my daggers, ready to fit.
The first thing that hit me was the horrifying shrieks. They made my ears want to bleed…
They sprung from the darkness. The next thing that hit me was, well, the weird darkspawn-thing attacking me.
"Ack!" I cried out as one stabbed me in the back. Ok, that thing dies. I turned, daggers ablaze, and spinning in a circle. I cut the thing in half with perfect precision. Creator, this is fun.
After killing all of them, I saw something that looked all-too familiar. Someone I wanted to see and get away from me at the same time.
Tamlen.
"Lethilain…" Tamlen said. He was changed. His skin was a strange, dark red, and his blonde hair had shed.
"Tamlen! Mercy of the gods, is that you?!" I felt my eyes get misty. I wanted desperately to fall into his arms…however; he's all darkspawny, can he be trusted?
"G-Go away…don't want to hurt you…" He took off in the other direction. Oh no, you're not getting away from me that easily. I followed him into a fallen tree; no place to go. He's trapped.
"Tamlen…I missed you horribly!!" I gasped. I felt a tear go down my eye. "We can try to heal you…"
"No…gone too far…" He said. His voice was husky and dry.
"No! I will help you!" I hissed. My anger was replaced by sobs. Poor Tamlen…
"The only thing you can do to me is…end my pain…" He gasped.
"No! I will never!!!" I yelled.
"Please…" He begged.
"No…" I sobbed. "No. No…no!"
"I always loved you…" He said.
"I-I love you too, Tamlen." Tears were flowing down my eyes as I made the final blow. I felt my heart break in two. His gasps of pain filled my ears…I just killed him…I killed my best friend…my love…
I sat there for a long time, sobbing over his corpse and holding him.
"Please. You've been sobbing for hours. Just throw it out." Morrigan said.
"No!! He deserves a funeral…" I said. "Oh, I'm so sorry Tamlen…I love you…" I said between sobs.
It took me great pain, but I buried him, and planted a tree over his body. However, I did take a necklace from him that he had even before the cave…before all this…
It was a locket; simple. There was a crescent moon carved from wood and hallowed out. I never knew what was inside it. I opened it up.
I almost cried again.
When I was a child, I always wore a flower in my hair. One day, I gave him a petal from a flower. This was the petal I gave him…
The petal was covered in teardrops before I put it back in the locket. I wore around my neck.
I kept that necklace forever. And I will wear it until the day I die, and go back to the soil. I will join Tamlen again, and somehow give him the necklace back…
I tried to describe the character as little as possible so it would fit the character you put in there. Hope it was ok!
And no, I'm not continuing this.
