1-2 Veronica Appears Again
Dave
I saw Veronica, Balthazar's love.
"He needs you Dave, he needs you" she said.
"I can't go back. He would just kill me." I said fearfully.
"No, he needs you to console him, help him. He has been strong for a thousand years without me but his strength is failing. He needs to be strong to fight Horvath" Veronica said.
"He can't live without you Veronica. It's eating him inside knowing he trapped you and can never release you. Is there not way for you to be free without releasing Morgana?" I asked.
"The only way is for someone to take my place, Dave, to sacrifice there self for me. They would have to be locked in the grimhold forever until the Prime Merlinean defeats Morgana once and for all.
"Balthazar would, for you he would do anything" I said, knowing this to be true.
"I wouldn't let him. I couldn't bear it knowing I could never see him again. It was bad enough in the grimhold but at least I knew he would be safe. He tried to take my place as soon as Morgana began to kill me but I forced him not to" Veronica replied.
I could see Veronica struggling to keep out of the grimhold.
I cannot keep this up much longer. Dave, help him in this form I cannot." Veronica said sadly.
"I will" I said.
As soon as I said it Veronica instantly faded. I had been tasked with this duty and I had to for fill it. Veronica had been locked in the grimhold for centuries, the least I could do was carry out her wish. Knowing this wouldn't be easy I slunked back to my lab where Balthazar would be.
