โ letโs play a drinking game. โ
โ faithโs a simple medicine for desperate souls. โ
โ you donโt frighten easily. โ
โ itโs what eats you alive. loneliness. โ
โ i heard it all. fire, screams and death. โ
โ youโve become a lightweight, old friend. โ
โ how are you not heartbroken? โ
โ people do stupid things when they think they are trapped in a corner. โ
โ are you a monster because you are different? โ
โ this must be our secret. โ
โ all you care about is your damn duty. โ
โ iโve lived through a whole dark age and three supposed end of days. โ
โ thatโs a tale requiring wine. โ
โ do what you do best. stay and fight. โ
โ fear is an illness. if you leave it untreated, it can consume you. โ
โ you have taken something from me. someone i care about deeply. โ
โ thereโs times to stand still, and thereโs times to keep moving. โ
โ youโre panting like a dying mammoth. โ
โ youโd rather be blind than see the truth. โ
โ when you have power like yours, you never apologize. โ
โ you have the social graces of a wild boar. โ
โ last time we saw each other, you basically told me to fuck off. โ
โ what would you have me do? โ
โ promise me something. if we get seperated, remember what you have. โ
โ all you have to do is keep your sword close and keep running. โ
โ you were never one to go quietly, were you? โ
โ i am here for you. i wonโt let anybody hurt you. โ
โ the path to true strength lies not in humble faith, but in believing in oneself. โ
โ you would not know talent if i shoved it up your ass. โ
โ you can tell me anything. โ
โ itโs just โyap, yap, yapโ with you sometimes. โ
โ my faith brought me this far. iโll see how much further it can take me. โ
โ power. thatโs what you live for. โ
โ i know this is dangerous, but now is not the time to be weak. it is the time to be strong. โ
โ nowhereโs safe now. you canโt run from the world. โ
โ i donโt want revenge. i want justice. โ
โ your stomachโs growling loud enough to wake the dead. โ
โ less than perfect means death. โ
โ you can either be too strong to fail or too weak to try. โ
โ you are always so emotional. โ
โ we donโt kill out of fear. โ
โ like father, like daughter. โ
โ i understand that you are in pain and you can drown that pain with whatever you want. just not here. โ
โ humans do bad things to everybody. โ
โ i tell you no word of a lie. โ
โ that was the first and last timeโฆi saw my father proud of me. โ
โ thatโs quite barbarous, even for me. โ
โ iโm not going anywhere, all right? iโm staying right here. โ
โ and you call yourself a leader? โ
โ magic. itโs lodged in you. like a spiked arrow. โ
โ you bring terror and death wherever you are. โ
โ do what you have to do to seize your destiny. โ
โ itโs as if youโre determined to do the opposite of the thing thatโll keep you safe. โ
โ remember what you have. magic. โ
โ iโm hoping there is a grain of truth to fairytales. โ
โ this place was meant for no one. โ
โ iโm not having this conversation unless iโm drinking. โ
โ you did what you had to do. โ
โ all the people i loved in this world were taken from me. โ
โ i would not wish that fate on my worst enemy. โ
โ it came from the heart. perhaps a broken one. โ
โ whatโs it like? being alone because of what you are? โ
โ all curses have cures. โ
โ you pick up a thing or two while in hiding. โ
โ how about we scout the property? make sure itโs safe for the night. โ
โ my war is your war. โ
โ you thought you were special. โ
โ i wish i could go back in time. save everyone. โ
โ something has changed. the worldโs acting of its own strange accord these days. โ
โ how did you spend your days when you first came here? โ
โ i value the bond we have. โ
โ i know what you are. an old wivesโ tale for children. โ
โ do you humans ever stop talking? โ
โ if only youโd think of yourself instead of licking otherโs boots. โ
โ sometimes it doesnโt seem real. โ
โ thatโs your play? itโs rather desperate. โ
โ i was hoping youโd do what i say. โ
โ youโre the desperate one. the most. โ
โ the path forward will be harder still. โ
โ iโve never met anyone alone in the heart like you. different. โ
โ it is not in my nature to be cruel. โ
โ stay with me tonight. letโs not be alone. โ
โ do you think iโm asking because i personally give a shit? โ
โ what is destined cannot be avoided. โ
โ scary storoies donโt really work on me. โ
โ you were wrong. or lied. neitherโs a shock. โ
โ what has been need not always be. โ
โ we should keep moving. โ
โ are you all right? you look like day-old shit. โ
โ you donโt seem like a monster to me. โ
โ thieving a thief merely makes you the latest thief. โ
โ you can find power and purpose. a chance to survive the horror. โ
โ iโve fantasized about going back. โ
โ the only certainty in this place, is that no one is ever what they seem. โ
โ this is what you call free? โ
โ you still have time to turn back. itโs not too late. โ
โ itโs not a question of price. itโs a matter of cost. โ
โ tell me what you want. โ
โ sometimes i think iโm still a person. butโฆi know what i really am. โ
โ i deserve my destiny. โ
โ why help? whatโs in it for you? โ
โ i can smell your desires like rotten meat. โ
โ itโs funny how quickly people forget about you when you are no longer any use to them, isnโt it? โ
โ trust the path you choose, and it will protect you. โ
โ move beyond the pain, the fear, the failure, until you become one with a killer. โ
โ you can do anything. doesnโt mean you have to. โ
โ what is lost is lost. โ
โ you are all alone in a world that hates you with no way to protect ourselves. โ
โ thankfully, men remain simple. โ
โ verbose when i need you to be quiet. silent and stubborn when i need you to talk. โ
โ even traitors speak the truth. โ
โ shared dreams are a powerful omen. โ
โ our most trusted advisors are becoming less and less trustworthy. โ
โ i think thereโs something wrong with me. โ
โ nightmares are common after battle. โ
โ when i say run, you run. when i say hide, you hide. โ
โ iโve never met anyone alone in the heart, like you. โ
โ i know who you truly are. what are you hiding now? โ
โ youโre eager to please. easy to wound. โ
โ that all you got? โ
โ your true power resides in more than your blood. โ
โ hatred is an endless cycle of fear and desperation. โ
โ perhaps we were meant to find each other. โ
โ no matter how hard i train, no matter what i do, iโll never be enough. โ
โ shocking. we have to do it your way again. โ
โ your heart has been beating fast this whole time. youโre nervous. โ
โ do you like the dress i left for you? โ
โ oh. thatโs a look of a person whoโs worried theyโve lost their touch. โ
โ it doesnโt matter if itโs true. it only matters if the people believe it. โ
โ iโm sick of feeling lost. โ
โ iโve had leaders, followersโฆbut iโve never had a partner before. โ
โ i want to be indifferent to the past. to the lies. to the things iโve done. โ
โ donโt flatter yourself. iโm saving me. โ
โ did you not think of the consequences? what if you were killed? โ
โ we can leave under the cover of darkness. โ
โ donโt be afraid. nothing can hurt you here. โ
โ you are important to me. you always will be. โ
โ yes, well, iโm topped off on magical mystery at the moment. โ
โ you are already enough. you are extraordinary. โ
โ you donโt get to play damsel in distress. thatโs my job. โ
โ iโve destroyed so many things. please, let me heal things for once. โ
โ the truth is you are choosing to be an asshole, arenโt you? โ
โ i have nothing to hide. โ
โ i owe you as much as you owe me. nothing more, nothing less. โ
โ legends arenโt science. โ
โ who are we, when we can no longer do what we were put on this planet to do? โ
โ some wounds cannot be healed. i understand that more than you know. โ
โ i canโt be what you want. what you deserve. โ
โ you need to let me take care of your wound. โ
โ everyone answers to someone eventually. even you, i suspect. โ
โ you pretend to not have emotions, but you do. โ
โ love and blood. they both possess a mighty power. โ
โ prison didnโt exactly do you any favors. โ
โ monsters are more than just horrid looks and claws and teeth. monsters are born of deeds done. unforgivable ones. โ
โ i hope that in your search to feel again, you feel your value. โ
โ iโm too hopeless to stop anything. โ
โ i sleep like shit too. โ
โ you donโt really give a shit about what i want. โ
โ those who diedโฆi say their names out loud at night so i donโt forget. โ
โ something dark lies ahead of you. i can feel it. โ
โ no oneโs on our side, you trusting idiot. โ
โ iโm not abandoning you. iโll stay and fight. โ
โ explain to me how youโre not deadweight. โ
โ weโll reach our destination by sundown. โ
โ i see your wounds have improved, but your manners have not. โ
โ donโt be scared. iโm not going to hurt you. โ
โ hesitation will draw danger to you like fire. โ
โ donโt flatter yourself. iโm saving me. โ
โ you have the ability to break the cycle of hatred once and for all. โ
โ sensitive questions are my favourite. โ
โ sometimes we assume the worst because we fear to hope. โ
โ it is in blindness we find our true strength. โ
โ i know you know how dangerous this is. โ
โ were you attacked because youโre different? โ
โ who knows, maybe weโll be friends again. โ
โ i wonโt let anything happen to you. โ
โ you can fight battles and wear dresses. you can do both. โ
โ holy men are the most depraved. โ
โ watch me burn all the memories of you. โ
โ whatโs the difference between you and a heap of shit? eventually, the shit will stop smelling. โ
โ youโre offering me up as sacrifice? โ
โ our best chance is to kill the hatred we hold on to and move on. โ
โ everywhere i go, people die. โ
โ sometimes i feel like i could burn the whole world. โ
โ was it worth it? โ
โ you are brave, but let me help you. โ
โ there is only death here. โ
โ unlike you, iโm not one to waste power on such frivolous nonsense. โ
โ the battle must have really taken it out of you. โ
โ i know. i know you want to scream. โ
โ thatโs the problem. no one knows anything about you. who you are, what you are, where you are, what you want. โ
โ my friend, you are very far from fine. โ
โ i look a tad different since you saw me last. โ
โ we both need to keep a low profile, it seems. โ
โ we won. but barely. โ
โ i hope thereโs a plaque to commemerate your greatness. โ
โ i will not let us down. โ
โ iโve never known a human to give out of the kindness of their heart. โ
โ every day increases the risk of being found. โ
โ forget faith. weโve got power. โ
โ your precious leaderโs after something. you are a pawn to get it. โ
โ are you my inquisitor or my executioner? โ
โ you are a hero to me and many others. โ
โ weโre only staying until the storm dies. โ
โ so iโm your destiny? whatever that means. โ
โ i wonโt be here forever to protect you. โ
โ faith sustains us all in dark times. โ
โ your pain is my pain. โ
โ everything i was told my whole life was a lie. โ
โ after everything we did, what we sawโฆyou turned your back on me. โ
โ we all have our time in the sun. โ
โ if you have an ulterior motive, you can tell me. โ
โ from the moment we met, you have been trying to fill a void. โ
โ history does have a way of repeating itself, doesnโt it? โ
โ theyโre desperate. which means theyโre dangerous. โ
โ iโm doing everything i can to keep you safe. โ
โ i said donโt touch me. โ
โ iโm one of the lucky ones. depending on your definition of luck. โ
โ i donโt see any side upon which you are not entirely fucked. โ
โ there are forces at play larger than we know. โ
โ you will destroy us all. โ
โ i donโt know who you are, but come any closer and youโll regret it. โ
โ iโฆdreamed about you once. โ
โ itโs been a difficult few monthsโฆbut things seem to be finally turning a corner. โ
โ what is it with men lurking about this place? โ
โ oh, whatโs the hurry? โ
โ ___. itโs nice to finally put a face to the name. โ
โ in times of war, hard decisions must be made. โ
โ if you free me, perhaps we can work together. โ
โ you remind me of an old friend. โ
โ i was stupid, and i was selfish. โ
โ i have always considered you my equal partner. i wish i could prove to you that iโm worthy of the same. โ
โ what are you doing out here in the middle of east bloody nowhere? โ
โ family, bloodโฆthatโs the only bond that canโt be broken. โ
โ when iโm with you, i donโt feel alone anymore. โ
โ are you all right? who did this? โ
โ what iโm really asking you isโฆis this what pleases you? โ
โ we could be entangled in a war again before we know it. โ
โ why do you want this so badly? โ
โ there are those obsessed with finding power, and those who know their place. โ
โ iโm asking you for help. for once, will you give me it? โ
โ you dare show your face here? โ
โ i wasnโt sure youโd make it. โ
โ i wouldnโt ask you if it wasnโt unnecessary. โ
โ your aimโs gone to shit. โ
โ i pay you to solve my problems, not fill my head with piling bad news. โ
โ the monsters arenโt new. theyโre just new to here. โ
โ i have some wounds that refuse to heal. โ
โ you were having a nightmare. i came to check on you. โ
โ please stay. donโt go. โ
