A/N: I forgot to thank my two beta readers: PSPGamerGirl and Serafia Cross. Thank you so much, ladies!
For this drabble I referenced both the cutscene in the first game and the corresponding scene in the book.
"I never wanted any of this for you. I'm sorry, Galen."
Thought abandons me. I'm not aware of my hand reaching out toward the heavy brown cloak as it flutters once before vanishing into drifting vapor; not aware of a cruel tightening in my chest; not aware of the searing heat behind my eyes.
"Father, no." The words are broken, as shattered as my mind—as my heart.
This is—was—my family's home. We lived here.
My... father... died here.
Father...
Mother...
Two presences wisp against my cheeks. "Son."
Collapsing to my knees, I lower my head and scream.
