Sean Bean in Sharpe’s Regiment

Collar

[ladysternchen]

Excerpt:

“There is still something you have not told us!” Melian said sadly after a while, and Círdan shook his head.

“No. But really, I… no, I understand your need to know everything, but this… Lúthien, you, at least, need not hear that!”

As he might have expected, Lúthien did not take particularly kindly to being patronised like that. She frowned at him, tears replaced by a very grim expression.

“I am not a child, Círdan, and have not been one for two ages of this world!”

Círdan locked eyes with her, and for a long moment, they just stood, holding each other’s gaze. Oh, he wished she had not inherited her father’s eyes. 

“But you are his child!”

“I am also -as my mother is restricted by the laws of her race- the regent of Eglador and I want to know what Bauglir did to my father so that I can…”

“They raped him.”  Círdan had not meant to say it like this, nor to cut Lúthien off, but had found himself unable to stand the tension a moment longer. 

“It is this that apparently what Bauglir will do if he wishes to destroy an elf utterly. His spells will force the elf to remain in their body despite all torture, and then he gives them to his orcs for their pleasure.”

fun fact: I actually have not 1, not 2, but 3 dedicated playlists of OST-style music for my various Guild Wars 2 AUs, and... that, of all ways, is the closest I get to "outlining" my stories. every sequence has a dedicated track that I picked out according to what I'd imagine playing in-game if it was an actual playable story arc in Guild Wars 2.

Regrowth's playlist has 59 songs and Flourish has 28.

then the Tideturners have one too, with a grand total of 22.

......... I don't have a problem,

An unforgiven mistake - Le Sserafim Western AU - Part one

A big shoutout to @mechaknight-98 who managed to push me outside my comfort zone and explore a new genre, more action focused. I can say I was able to not reveal the main interest till maybe the end of this first part. Let me know what y'all think about It🫂

Fort Hybe, 1860. It's another warm day in the base built in the West of a country that in the future was going to be one of the powerful in the world. Every resident of the outpost is carrying out their duties: patrolling the area, building guns, selling every type of goods. And what about you? As every morning, you were going toward the office of your superiore, the general Kim Chaewon, eager to discover and complete your assignments. "Good morning, general", you greeted her, performing the military salute. "Mhh? Oh, it's you, cadet. Yeah, morning or whatever", she casually replied, while looking out of her window, before walking towards the desk to read some papers. "You arrived at the right moment, I have the perfect task for you: an hour ago our soldiers captured an unknow individual who was acting suspicious, according to the reports. Bring her to Captain Yunjin to be interrogated and then come to report to me at the end", she ordered, lazily, yawning and looking to her pocket watch. "Yes, ma'am, I will do my best", you enthusiastically nodded. You really were trying your best to impress the general, you were not the greatest lover of this militar life nor you were the perfect soldier, but the huge crush on your superior was enough to make you choose such an hard path of life. You really would have fought a war for Kim Chaewon. And even if your limits were evident, despite her forever cold look, you managed to obtain her reliance; sure, you were still the lowest grade of the whole forth, but Chaewon still preferred to assign a big majority of duties to you among all the other people at her service. "Don't get too worked up tho, I'm sure it's nothing. Probably someone of your idiot comrades was just getting bored and decided to abuse his power and ruin the day of an innocent citizien", she explained, sighing and going back to the window, a sign that you could go.

After leaving the office, you went to the fort jail, where the majority of the cells were occupied by drunkards and petty thieves. After taking the cells keys from the prison guard, you walked up toward the room where "the suspect" was being hold. You were for surprised when you realized that behind the bars was not some loud woman or scary man, but just a really young and pretty girl, looking all confused and scared. "Uhm..are you the suspect arrested this morning?", you asked, scratching your chin, more puzzled than the girl in front of you. "Yes...but...I have not done anything, I don't even know why I am here", the girl with a really pale skin answered, barely holding back her tears. General Chaewon was right once again: there was no criminal to question; sure, she was not a familar face, but you really doubt that she was being a menace for anyone, the poor girl was terrified. "Don't worry, I'm sure it was made a mistake. I'm sure nothing will happen to you. What's your name?", you talked with a soft tone, crouching down to be at her level and reassure her. "I'm Kazuha, I live outside the forth", she replied, slightly less anxious in front of your kindness. "Well, Kazuha, even if I believe to your innocence, I have still to bring you talk with one of my superiors. It's just a formal procedure, probably you will be free in less than half an hour", you cut the ropes around her wrists and helping her to get up. There was really no need to keep her tied.

On the road towards Capitan Yunjin office, you kept reassuring Kazuha, that was slowly gaining trust in you. Just a few more steps before arriving to the building...when you felt a cold item on the back of your neck, and you could be not wrong about it, it was the barrel of a gun. "Let her go immediately, motherfucker", an aggressive voice ordered to you. "Do it or I will make jump the brain inside your dumb head", she added, pressing the barrel against your skin. "Let's calm down, this has to be a big misunderstanding", you stated, putting your hands up in the air. "Misunderstanding my ass, you are the bastard who arrested my sister for nothing", the angry woman shouted at you, slowly starting to pull the trigger. "Sakura no! You are wrong, this person was helping me out after listening to my story", Kazuha quickly stopped her sister, revealing the truth. "Is that so?", the woman called Sakura asked to her sis, who immediately nodded with ardour, eager to avoid her savior to be killed. "Fine, but my sister won't follow you inside that place, she's coming home with me", she declared, putting the gun down and grabbing Kazuha arm, ready to leave the fort. "And instead you're going nowhere", a familar voice interrupted the conversation. Now that your neck was free from the danger of being shut down, you were able to to look back and being hella surprised by two facts: Sakura, Kazuha sister, was incredibly beautiful. She was not tall or gigantic, but she was fit enough to run for miles and, most important, she had this powerful aura. Every part of her outfit was black: the boots, the top, the vest, the pants, even her cowboy hat. You would have been another couple of minutes to admire her, but the second fact was a bit more relevant in this moment: now was her turn to feel a cold feeling behind her neck. In fact Chaewon had her rifle pointed. "General, how did you know I was here?", you asked, surprised to see her outside her office. "The captain complained that you were late wth your task, and I know how much punctual you are. I just knew something happened, so imagine my surprise in seeing my favorite cadet being menaced by this scumbag", her tone went from daring to dangerous real quick, the will of revenge in her eyes. "No miss, please, it's not what you think", Kazuha, once again begged, her nerves really being tested that morning. You sighed because you know you had some explanations to do.

"So, are saying me that the general tried to save you from miss Sakura that was trying to save miss Kazuha because she thought you were the one who erroneously arrested her sister? What a fucking mess", Captain Yunjin exclaimed, summing up the whole misunderstanding, with the head between her hands. You simply nodded to confirm the whole situation. "Well shit, somebody has to be punished for this mistake...but it's nobody of the ones present in this room", she sighed, letting herself fall on a wooden chair. "Are we forgetting that this fool was about to kill our cadet?", the general Chae reminded pointing to the woman with the cowboy hat. "It's not that deep, General, I was about to resolve the situation anyway", you tried to calm her, minimizing everything. "I don't remember asking for your opinion, cadet, stay at your place", the general immediately scolded you, kinda hurting your feeling in that way. "General, with all due respect, maybe the newbie isn't completely wrong. I'm not saying that we should her let her go without any measure about her actions", the Captain suggested and when she saw the eyes were on her, she continued. "You two own an house and a piece of land outside the fort, right? Well, I propose that our problem-solving recruit can stay with them to check the situation", she offered as solution, but immediately Chaewon seemed to have a problem with it. "Absolutely not! I won't let the newbie stay inside the house of this crazy bitch?", she protested animatedly, slamming her hand on the table. "How did you call me? Also what are we supposed to do with that weakling?", Sakura bursted out, overturning her chair in the heat. "Sis, calm down. Maybe it's not a bad idea...a couple of extra arms can be helpful in this season", she calmly said, holding her sister arm. "Let's all calm down. Miss Kazuha is right, it's not a vacation, the mission is not just about checking the situation, but also helping the sisters with whatever they need. And General, I get your worries, but the also the cadet need some experience outside this place or the promotion will never come. Furthermore we're not abandoning anyone, we will send daily agents for a report", Yunjin immediately managed to bring the peace back, her solution looking now really sensible and rational. Chaewon hated to admit it but Yunjin was right, and yet she was still annoyed, so she just walked out, stomping on the floor. "Tsk, I guess it's fine for me, whatever will put an end to this ridicolous farce", Sakura puffed, rolling her eyes back. You really weren't sure about this measure, but it was more an order than a request. You sighed and got ready to the new adventure.

An hour later you were outside, all your important stuff gathered in a knapsack, with the two sisters. "Well, you took your time", Sakura commented, while finishing to saddle her horse, Kazuha already on hers. "Who am I going with?", you asked, your tone torn between kindness and authority. "No chance in the world you're coming with me", Sakura coldly replied, looking away. "Fine, I'll go with Kazuha then", you shrugged, directing your body towards the youngest. "What? No, hold on, you're not touching my sister...ugh, whatever, come with me, but you better keep your hands at their place.", the older sister immediately changed her idea, basically pulling you towards her "pet". Finally you managed to finally move. The style of horseriding of Sakura was like hers: unbridled, wild, unruly; more than once you risked to fall having nowhere to hold yourself, only your military training saving your bones. Sakura really didn't want to see again that General bitch, so after yet another risk of falling, she took your arms and placed them around your waist. "For fuck sake, stay still! No weird movements or I'll use you as fertilizer", she screamed, getting red in face for the sudden contact. You did as requested and really were surprised to feel her firm abs, your fingers tracing them on their own and for some reason the cowgirl said nothing about it. In the meanwhile Kazuha observed the scene from the side, giggling amused.

Of course. *hops off cursor*it becomes a charm that hooks onto my necklace*

Now then. Shall we get ourselves in check?

Green stood on the ground in front of the group. His friends looked at him with very different emotions.

This silence felt like forever. No one was moving. Even Purple and MT froze, not daring to disturb the gang.

Blue moved first.

It felt like an endless moment when in reality Blue rushed in Green's direction almost immediately. The only thing that left for Green was to catch younger friend in his arms, trying to keep his balance. He blinked in surprise, but gently rubbed Blue's back.

"Hey, hey... I'm here."

Green only heard muttering he couldn't understand. A light wave of the guilt washed over him, seeing Blue so worried. He didn't think about making them so sad. All he could remember from before he ran away was Orange being pissed, Red being annoyed, Yellow frowning... But only now Green remembered Blue's face. Their hesitation.

"I'm sorry I made you worried, okay?"

Blue shook their head, but still stayed almost hanging on Green's neck.

"I'm glad you're back."

Green let out soft sigh and smiled. He looked up, facing the rest of the gang. Red and Yellow both had very, very, hesitant expressions. Orange stayed behind them and kept his head low, so Green couldn't see his face.

Red was the next one to come to Green. Yellow followed right behind, throwing the staff on the ground. Moment later both Green and Blue got in the group hug. The oldest let out sigh of relief, trying to hug them all at the same time.

Only Orange stayed away from the group, not looking up nor moving an inch.

Event Masterlist | Main Masterlist

Once, far back in the forgotten ages before the world was torn asunder, Light and Dark lived in harmony. Dark magyk was considered just as important and useful as Light, and Mages made friends regardless of what they studied. Many a powerful Magister was born of a union between Light and Dark, and no one thought badly of it.

But then there arose Virestiis, a Dark Mage corrupted by the forbidden Darkness and filled with pure wickedness, who was intent on eliminating all Light magyk in the world. He converted many to his cause, and families were ripped apart as the Mages chose sides. Many beloved locations were utterly destroyed during the countless battles that ensued, and a multitude of brave Mages were lost to the bloodstained earth.

Eventually Virestiis was overthrown, and some semblance of order was restored. But the rift between Dark and Light would remain forever. No longer could the magyks coexist, the two sides now far too suspicious of each other. Blended families were forced to make choices, often leading to broken hearts and unforgiven grudges. The future now seemed clouded and full of confusion, but some things were certain: the fighting would never stop, and the world would never be the same.

Fate, however, had different plans. For the first time since the war had begun a thousand years prior, the Sages of Light and Dark received the same prophecy; one of a destiny so twisted it would stop the conflict. The prophecy stated that there would come a day when a Magister of Dark and a Magister of Light would be bound together as soulmates, but there would be no bonds of love and peace here. These soulmates were destined to bring the sides against each other in a final battle so catastrophic it would claim not only their lives, but the lives of numerous others, ending the war in a blaze of death and destruction.

Our story begins just over three thousand years later…

You felt your heart pounding in your chest as you approached The Divide, the neutral area between the lands of Light and Dark. It was customary for both Magisters to meet anytime a mantle was passed to someone new, in the hopes that one day two would meet and decide to settle for peace. As the new Magister of Light, this would be your first time meeting the Magister of Dark, and to say you were nervous would be an understatement.

A thought entered your head and you turned to your bestfriend San, your second-in-command and only companion on this important journey.

“What do you know about the Magister of Dark?” You asked, eyeing him curiously.

San frowned thoughtfully, his dark eyes squinting a little as he pondered the question. “Not much, I hear he’s just as new as you are.”

You were surprised by this, you hadn’t heard of anything happening to the old Magister. That meant that either both Magisters died simultaneously(an occurrence that was highly unlikely), or some of the Dark Mages had staged a coup and installed a new Magister by force(which was far more probable). Either way, if this Magister of Dark was put into power by others, then perhaps the Dark Mages were finally ready to talk of peace. It was a slim hope, to be sure, but you had always carried such hope in your heart, even before you were chosen as Magister.

You reached the middle of The Divide and stopped. Now all you could do was wait until the Magister of Dark arrived. You just hoped he wouldn’t be late.

Much to your relief it was barely five minutes before the sound of voices reached your ears. Shortly thereafter, two figures rounded a corner. One was a tall man with dark eyes, his hair coloured yellow and orange like the flames of a fire. The other man was shorter, with grey eyes and bright red hair. Both wore the black robes typical of the Dark Mages, but the robes of the tall man were edged in white, marking him as the new Magister of Dark.

The two stopped right in front of you and San, the other Magister towering over you.

“I am Mingi, the Magister of Dark.” He motioned to the red-haired man beside him. “This is Wooyoung, my second-in-command. I presume you are the new Magister of Light?” His voice was deep, like the roiling of thunder during a storm.

You nodded, swallowing your nerves in favour of polite diplomacy. “I am. My name is Y/N and this is my second-in-command, San.”

You looked up to meet his eyes for the first time, and suddenly it felt like the whole world had stopped. Everything else seemed to fade away, leaving only you and Mingi. You could feel it, the instant connection between the two of you. For a few moments, the two of you became one; hearts beating in sync, breaths taken in the same instant. This could only mean one thing: he was your soulmate.

The moment ended, and you could tell by the expression on his face that Mingi had just experienced the same thing. You felt lost, as if you had suddenly become achingly aware of the rift between Light and Dark. You assumed it was a side effect of the soulmate bond and did your best to move on.

As the new Magister of Light, there were three questions you were expected to ask and three you were expected to answer. Taking a deep breath and ignoring the look of confusion San was giving you, you asked the first question.

“Is there union in the space?” If Mingi answered yes, the stars of the Dark had aligned to suggest making peace.

“No.”

You sighed inwardly. You had expected as much.

“Are the fields bountiful?” If he answered yes, it meant his people were safe and healthy.

“Yes.”

Well that was good at least. Disease and lack of necessities was bad no matter what side you were on.

“Do you wish to create harmony?” If he answered yes, he wished to make peace.

“No.”

San grumbled quietly beside you. Of course he did not wish to make peace. The Dark Mages would fight till the end of time if they had their way.

You took another deep breath. Now it was your turn to answer the questions.

“Is there union in the space?”

“Yes.” The stars of the Light had aligned the day you became Magister, and they had not moved since.

“Are the fields bountiful?”

You sighed. “Barely.” The previous Magister had just cured a fairly devastating disease before he passed the mantle to you.

“Do you wish to create harmony?”

“Yes.” You answered without hesitation. The Light Mages were tired of the war and just wanted it to be over.

But, since Mingi did not want peace, there would be no accord today. That would have to wait for next year, when you met him here again.

Mingi and Wooyoung bowed politely. You and San mirrored the gesture, then turned to walk back to your own lands.

On the way back, San addressed the moment that had passed between you and Mingi.

“What happened between you and the other Magister? You guys stared at each other for several minutes.”

You sighed. After a moment’s hesitation, you shared everything that happened. “I…He…We’re soulmates, San.”

San gaped at you, eyes going wide. “What?!” He paused for a moment, then looked at you seriously. “Y/N, you know it’ll probably never work out, right? If he and the other Dark Mages do not want peace, there’s no way he’d accept or even acknowledge having a Light Mage as his soulmate.”

You nodded. “I know Sannie. It just hurts that I won't get to have that relationship with him, you know? It would be better if I didn't know, but unfortunately that is not the case.” You exhaled, feeling suddenly despondent.

Several minutes of silence passed as the two of you walked, the sun travelling steadily downwards towards the horizon. As you crossed back into the Lands of Light, something stirred in your memory and you froze.

San noticed and turned to you with concern. “Are you okay?”

You shook your head, pulling San aside where no one could eavesdrop. “You remember the prophecy both sides got way back? The one about a Light Magister and Dark Magister being soulmates?”

San nodded, confused. You could almost see the wheels turning in his head, and realisation suddenly dawned on him. “You think the prophecy is about you and Mingi?”

You nodded gravely. “I am almost certain of it.” You sighed deeply. “Think about it for a moment, San. If there had already been a Light Magister and a Dark Magister who were soulmates, we would not still be fighting. The prophecy says their clash will end the war, so if it is still waging then it would logically follow that he and I are the ones mentioned in the prophecy.”

San looked at you, his face a mixture of resignation and sadness. “You’re probably right, but I do not wish to lose my best friend.”

For a moment you thought you caught a flash of something deeper than just friendly affection in his eyes, but it was gone before you could really analyse it.

“We should go and speak with Hwa, see if he’s got any insight on this.” San said, leading you back out onto the busy street.

You agreed and the two of you made your way to the outskirts of the capital city, where a small hut draped in colourful cloths, carpets and strings of beads sat like a bright gem amongst plain grey rocks. This little hut was home to Seonghwa, the current Sage of Light and a close friend of both you and San. Sages read the stars and listened to their whispering voices, for each star was once a living Mage in decades long past. The stars gave prophecies and warnings, sometimes even offering glimpses into the future.

Leaning down, you stuck your head through the hut’s low doorway. “Hwa, you home?”

A faint voice came from behind a divider of bold blue cloth. “Yeah, be with you in a moment.”

Sounds of rustling reached your ears, and after a few minutes the cloth divider was pushed aside. Seonghwa was a taller man with white-blonde hair and sharp green eyes, who wore the customary patched grey robes of a Sage. He smiled brightly when he saw you and San.

“Greetings, my friends. What brings the Magister and her right hand to my humble abode?” His tone was teasing, but when he saw the gravity on your faces the mirth immediately left his eyes. “What is wrong? Has something happened?”

You nodded mutely, your heart burning in your chest as you once more felt the distance between you and the other half of your soul. You and San sat down at a table in the small, cosy kitchen and you explained to Seonghwa what had happened when you met Mingi.

Seonghwa looked troubled by this news, remaining silent for several seconds before saying anything.

“The stars have been rather veiled since you began your journey to The Divide. I wasn’t sure of the reason initially, but now I feel certain this is why.”

“Have you had any visions or messages lately?” You asked him.

Seonghwa frowned, shaking his head. “Now that you mention it, I haven’t. I was actually going to stop by the Temple today and see if you had returned, so why don’t we sit down and do a reading while you’re here? Perhaps the stars have some answers for you now that you’ve found your soulmate.”

You agreed, and soon you and San were seated with Seonghwa around a small, circular table with a crystal ball in the centre. Seonghwa closed his eyes, placed his hands on the ball and turned his face upwards towards the stars. He whispered something that neither you nor San could hear, though you could see his lips moving. After a few moments Seonghwa’s eyes flew open, and you could swear there was a pale blue glow in his eyes.

“You speak with Kirys of the stars.” Seonghwa’s voice was deeper than you’d ever heard, almost a growl, and you knew then he was channelling a Spirit of the stars. Taking a deep breath, you asked your first question.

“Are Mingi and I the soulmates in the prophecy about the end of the war?”

“I cannot answer that as plainly as you wish. All I can say is that it will become clear to you very soon.”

You nodded, you had expected as much. “Why are the stars veiled? Is something bad going to happen?”

“Yes. I cannot tell you what will happen or when, but something bad will happen.”

“Will there be peace when the war ends, or will the animosity remain even if no one is actively fighting?”

“I am afraid I cannot answer that.” There was a pause, then Kirys spoke again. “I must leave you now. My time is short, and I must share a vision with your Sage before I return to the stars.”

You bowed your head and bid Kirys farewell as the blue light faded from Seonghwa’s eyes. Everything was silent for a moment, the Seonghwa’s eyes rolled back until only the whites were showing and his body began to convulse. San leapt to his feet, ready to help his friend, but you stopped him. You’d seen this before, the day Seonghwa received the vision that named you as the next Magister.

“He’ll be alright.” You whispered. “He’s receiving a vision.”

After a few moments, Seonghwa’s convulsions ceased and his eyes slowly opened. “Did you speak with one of the star spirits?”

You nodded. ”Yes, he said his name was Kirys.”

Seonghwa looked surprised. “The history books name Kirys as the first Mage to become a star after death. He has never spoken to me before.”

“When he stopped talking with us he mentioned he had to give you a vision. Can you share what you saw or were you asked to keep it private?”

Seonghwa exhaled heavily. “I was actually told to share it with you.”

You blinked at him, somewhat surprised. “Okay…So what did you see?”

“At first I couldn’t really see anything except these high walls of fire that were surrounding me. Then, the fire seemed to dissipate somewhat. I could see I was at The Divide and there was this awful battle raging. All around me, everywhere I looked, there were Mages from both sides just falling and falling. There was just so much blood and death I could hardly stand to look at all of it. Then there was a break in my line of sight and I could see two figures fighting each other viciously. I moved closer and soon I was able to make out one of the figures. It was you, and you were fighting this other person like your life depended on it. Suddenly everything around me faded to black and I heard you let out a blood-curdling scream. Then the vision ended and I was back here.”

You gaped at Seonghwa with wide, shocked eyes. Clearly this was a vision of the final battle mentioned in the prophecy, the one that would end the war. You found yourself speechless, mind struggling to process what you had just been told. You sat motionless until San shook you gently and brought your wandering mind back to the present moment.

“Are you okay?” He asked, looking at you with concern in your eyes.

You hesitated, unsure exactly how to answer. Finally you responded. “I-I think so…”

Seonghwa took your cold hands in his warm ones and offered you a comforting smile. “Not all things are certain, perhaps there are other explanations for this.”

You shook your head in disagreement. “Some things are certain. Fate has her own plans for all of us, things that we are not privy to. I feel certain this is one of them.”

Silence hung in the air for a while after that, no one quite sure what to say. After a bit, you decided it was probably time for you and San to go. You stood to your feet and San followed suit, both of you bidding Seonghwa farewell before slipping out of his hut and heading back into the city.

You and San parted ways at the road that led to his home, and you walked on to your own small home. Once inside, you took off the Magister’s robe you wore over your clothes and set about making yourself some dinner. After that you had a much-needed meditation session and went to sleep.

~Several months later~

Things between Light and Dark rapidly deteriorated after you spoke with Kirys and Seonghwa was given the vision of the final battle. You had heard from guards posted at the edges of the Lands of Light that the Dark Mages seemed to almost be waiting for something, as if they had some great evil thing planned and were simply waiting for a word from Mingi to put it into action.

It sometimes felt as if the earth and even nature itself was holding its breath, waiting for the final string of tension to snap and plunge the world into a bitter war. And then, one fateful winter’s morning, it happened.

You were jerked from a deep sleep by the pounding of fists on your door. Slipping into some clothes, you opened the door and found a near-frantic San on your doorstep.

“The Dark Mages are attacking!” He exclaimed, agitation clear in his words. “Scouts spotted Mingi leading an army towards The Divide not fifteen minutes ago.” Your face set in determination as you thanked San for informing you. Closing the door back, you returned to your room and dressed in your battle gear with a heavy heart. Placing your Magister’s robes over your armour, you meditated quickly to ensure your mana was fully restored. You then joined San outside and headed to the city’s centre to gather the army of Light and launch a counterattack.

You had always hoped it would never come to this, yet here you were marching to war with your friends. Deep down you knew that neither you nor Mingi would survive this altercation, but if it would end the war then you would go through this a thousand times over. Too many good Mages had been lost to this decades-long conflict, at this point you just wanted it all to end.

With your army gathered, you began the march to The Divide. Some morbid part of you thought of it as your death march, but you brushed the thought aside in favour of trying to plan how you might take Mingi down. When you reached the centre of The Divide, however, you were met with utter chaos.

The forest was aflame, large blazes roaring to life wherever you looked. Magyk flew left and right, Mages falling everywhere you looked. Your heart wrenched, and you knew this had to end. Fury blossomed within you and you called on your magyk, your rage supplementing your abilities and allowing you to disintegrate every Dark Mage that crossed your path. You carved a path through the raging battle, blind to everything except the target your eyes had locked onto: Mingi.

When you reached the clearing where Mingi stood, he gave you a sadistic smile, clearly relishing in all the death and destruction.

“Shall we battle to the death, my dear?” He intoned, his deep voice sending shivers down your spine.

“You will pay for all the destruction you’ve caused!” You screamed, launching a volley of crimson magyk towards his face.

The Dark Magister merely waved his hand in the air, brushing your attack aside with a flash of fiery orange magyk. You threw your magyk at him again, this time in a wide arc. And again he blocked it, summoning a shield of magyk to deflect the blast.

Enraged, you decided to switch tactics. Abandoning your magyk casting for the time being, you drew your magyk-imbued greatsword and rushed at Mingi with a raucous war cry.

He drew his own sword and met you halfway, the clash of your blades ringing heavily through the clearing. You traded blow after blow for what felt like hours, your strength and stamina draining rapidly as the adrenaline began to fade from your body.

Weariness set in and your strikes began to falter, though you noted with dark satisfaction that Mingi was also beginning to tire. You decided it was time to put your final plan in action, before you completely ran out of strength and mana.

Taking a deep breath, you cast a rolling wave of darkness over the whole of The Divide, stopping all the fighting for just a moment. Then, summoning every last bit of mana within your being, you leapt into the air and launched yourself at Mingi. Your whole body was quite literally glowing with magic, burning right through the shield he threw up. You let out a blood-curdling scream as you collided with the Dark Magister, and then everything went black.

Seonghwa honestly thought he was about to be sick, a strong sense of deja vu mixing with the nausea in his belly to make a horrible churning that had him looking for nearby bushes he could take refuge behind. But then he heard an echoing war cry that had him freezing in place, grey eyes searching the body-ridden battlefield for you.

He soon found the clearing where you and Mingi were battling, moving through the crowd of battling Mages to get closer in case you needed his assistance. From the corner of his eye, Seonghwa spotted San coming up on the opposite side, no doubt for the same reason. He watched, riveted, as you and Mingi fought viciously. Neither of you seemed to have the upper hand, your skills equally matched with Mingi’s.

When you began to tire, Seonghwa started to worry. In the back of his mind throughout this battle had been the vision he received from Kirys months earlier. When he saw the determination settling on your features, a pit began to form in his stomach and he swore he could see tears forming in San’s eyes.

As you cast the wave of darkness, there was a sense of finality in the action that had Seonghwa’s heart flooding with dread. He knew what would happen, but he hated that it had to be such a close friend. He watched as your glowing form collided with Mingi, sending out a shockwave of magic that knocked every single person off their feet as well as extinguishing the raging inferno blazing through the forest.

When Seonghwa regained his footing, he was met with a heartbreaking sight that had tears spilling down his cheeks. The collision had formed a crater in the earth, and in the midst of that crater laid two motionless bodies. One of those bodies he recognized immediately as yours. He and San immediately rushed forward, untangling your limp form from Mingi's.

There was utter silence as the two of them slowly carried your body back to the Lands of Light, the rest of the Light Mages falling in behind them while the Dark Mages did the same with Mingi.

Everyone could feel it, the change in the very makeup of both Dark and Light magyk. It was as if all of the anger and mistrust that had formed the rift all those years ago had just…dissolved.

Things would certainly be better in the future, but it has come at great personal cost. You and Mingi were missed dearly by those close to the two of you and your sacrifices were remembered for decades to come. Seonghwa and San remained close friends, often reminiscing about memories both fond and funny that they had shared with you. Stories were passed down from generation to generation, making you and Mingi something of legends in the world of magyk.

Excerpt:

But right or wrong, Círdan still set sail with his men, to carry out their gruesome task. A strong wind billowed the sails of their ships, driving them out to sea swiftly, more swiftly, in fact, that Círdan would have wished for. Yet the moment of farewell came whether he willed it or no, and he himself helped lower the raft to the grey waves, waves that rocked it as if they were the cradle of a sleeping child.

“Thus passes the lord of Beleriand.” Círdan called above the waves, doing his utmost to keep his voice steady.

He failed.

He felt the consoling pats on his back even as he bend down over the railing, weeping once again, to brush his cousin’s cheek swiftly one last time.

“Sleep soundly now in Ulmo’s keeping.” was all he managed to mutter.
