An SoD fic
Scene: Sarevok breaks apart into golden dust. It's over. It's finally over. Gorion is avenged, you saved the city (and your own skin) and you are proclaimed a hero.
Yet unease creeps down you. You know the prophecy. You were raised in Candlekeep. A score of mortal progeny. Gorion's letter confirmed it. There will be others.
But right now, rest. The Grand Dukes will want to interrogate you and use you, assess how much of a threat you are. But that's tomorrow [Charname]'s problem. Right now you feel the soft velvet and silken sheets, the cosy glow of the fire... finally a bed worthy of your divine heritage. Finally... rest. Maybe you won't even suffer Dead Dad Dreams...
