Post #916918 in The Gift, a roleplay on RPG

"I see i've piqued your interest, little one. But my love bites aren't really your buiness."

His face close to hers didn’t seem to make her nervous her weary eyes taking in his bone structure his scars and his odd reptilian eyes. The eyes fetched a wonderful price in civilized cities as a needed component in many potions to alter physical abilities. It was yet another reason that the Lamia hated the civilized countries. He seemed to be searching for something in her face and it caused her to look at him with a bright curiosity, then he whispered and her features grew grey.

"Nhil is about to die."

Her eyes went wide as fear slid through her expression before he could even turn her body disappeared in a flash of light she found herself dropped in the centre of her tent one of the chairs in the corner of the chaotic space had been pulled out farther then she remembered leaving it. Nhil had to be close, he had to still be alive right? She could warn him and protect him from whatever the Lamia had sent against him. She ran out into the rain swept camp people began to disperse in a hurried fashion as she looked around frantically. She pulled her book out of her robes and dodged under the edge of a tent her eyes scanning through the pages for the spell she needed. She cursed and then took a deep breath as the pen slid from her pocket and began writing. Her eyes scanned over the words as it was written.

“Reaching the river, the corpse of Nhil was unceremoniously dropped onto the banks. The quiet general looked at the body, the lifeless eyes of Nhil staring into the sky, taking all his secrets with him. A shame. It would have paid to interrogate him. He kicked the body once, and it rolled into the river where it was washed away to be forg..”

”NOOO! NHIL! NO!” she screamed out in the darkness and hugged the book to her the pen slid back in her pocket she dashed under the legs of fleeing soldiers as she made her way to the river, her form drenched with mud and water. She looked over the black waters seeing nothing in the darkness as tears streamed down her face. ”NHIL!!” she bellowed as she looked down the flow, she could see a form bobbing in the dark waters and she dropped the book in her robes and ran down the bank sliding along the mud before she slid into the icey waters and yelped in surprise. Her small form was easily carried down the stream and she swam forward towards the form. It wasn’t long before she came up beside Nhil’s lifeless corps as the waters threatened to swallow him and her both, after a lot of fighting and swallowing water she pushed herself to shore and pulled him so he wouldn’t float away. The rain had stopped and she gasped curling up next to him on the banks and pulling his hair from his face and smiling.

”I forgot to tell you.. I forgot to tell you about the new spell I learned.. and.. about the spells.. why didn’t I keep Bob with you.. he would have kept you safe.. I made him for you.. but.. I’m sorry I took him with me.. I knew I was fine.. now he is scrap.. just like you.. spare parts.” She leaned her face against his cheek and smiled brightly tears rolling from her face as she snuggled close and wrapped her arms around his dead form. ”I didn’t tell you how beautiful your eyes are.. or how powerful a necromancer you are.. there is no equal.. none.. you are one of a kind.. I love you Nhil.. I’m sorry.. I forgot to tell you.. I always was distracted.. but.. now you know.. I’m sorry it took me so long.. and I love you Nhil.. do you hear me? Hmm? I hope so.. it’s ok.. I’ll burn you.. like you wanted.. I’ll make sure that you can’t come back.. you’ll be able to rest.. its ok.. I’ll miss you.” she gently grabbed his face with her small hands as she pressed her lips to his cold dead lips.. she then broke down into sobs that were hidden by the sound of the brook that had become a full river from the strong rain. She buried her face against his chest her hands knotting against his flesh as she cried in agony and regret.. for the first time in her life Miralight cried.
