   Summary

   He’d have to bide his time, to think, to plan. Wyll may think he could be free of him, but Astarion would soon prove how wrong the man was.

   Wyll had made quite the enemy in Astarion.

   ~

   After defeating Cazador in his lair, Astarion decides to ascend. In trading his friends, his love, and supposedly his soul for the freedom he was so long denied, Astarion finds that the consequences of his actions are too vast to handle. Naturally, he begins a mostly one-sided rivalry with Wyll, determined to outlive the damned hero and win at last. He resorts to sleeping through the remainder of Wyll's life - but the time after proves to be a harder battle than when Wyll still lived. How ever will he manage eternity?
