    Summary

    “I - I don’t want to have to want,” you say, trying to find the words for the monstrous beast that has darkened your heart, bound your chest. You want something bad: the sweetening of a moment of fear and hopelessness, the embrace of knowing you truly have no choices left to make. “I don’t want you to feel that you have to ask. I want you to - to take everything from me and I want to just - “ A shaky breath rattles through you.

     

    “Surrender,” Astarion finishes. You nod gratefully, but then another word begins to appear within your mind like forming smoke, the tendril of the monster, and then there is the heart of it, the signaling fire. The finality you crave.

     

    “I want to fight. And then - to lose. I want to lose,” you breathe.
