AAA!! That last SkekZok piece was just---- *chef's kiss* If I may ask, what about a scenario where reader finds a way to go to her Gelfling lover and try to spark more memories?? Maybe she ends up breaking them out of the castle and they escape together?? Whether or not she remembers him is up for debate, but she doesn't trust Zok!! And the Gelfling makes her feel safe!!!
*bows* Your wish is my command!~The hallways echoed in soft footsteps, one of the moons lighting up the barren hallways. Cautious and nervous looks met every shadow, every creak as she snuck her way into the lower part of the castle, into the jail cell holding the drenchen gelfling, Haryn. She didnât understand why, nor how, but the few moments she had with him...it felt beyond right....unlike the times spent with the Ritual Master, all weird and oh so wrong to her. Not only that but the vision...memory? She shared...She had to know...As she neared the cell holding the gelfling, her heart stopped, seeing the bloodied and broken drenchen before her. Her eyes widened, hands covering her mouth as a strangled whimper escaped her throat. Was she?? Was she too late?She took shaky steps forward, reaching out to feel along his face. âpleaseâ She whimpered, brushing bloodied hair from his face âPlease be alive...â She felt for his heartbeat, his breath, and relaxed when both were still present, though weak.Her mind was a whirl, wanting nothing more than to ask him how he knew her, what that vision was, who she was before she forgot...but now wasnât the time. She looked back to the cell, knowing that if he were to remain, he would surely die.She had to help him escape..Her hands gently ran under his thinned frame, pulling him to her chest as she made her way as quickly as possible from the castle, making sure to make as little noise as possible. Once free, she rushed off, walking practically all night until she could walk no more.She collapsed, hiding herself and Haryn under the cover of trees. Here, she looked him over, taking note of each and every wound. she quickly began to patch up what she could, having nabbed a few medical supplies before escaping. She had to make sure heâd be stable, that his wounds would not grow infected..She toiled for hours, so focused upon treating him that she didnât even notice when his eyes creaked open, not until her name fell past his lips.âIs....is that really you?â He croaked, a shaking and weak hand reaching out to her. Immediately she grasped his, nodding as her vision grew glassyâIâm hereâ She whispered, âDonât worry, Iâll patch you up-âA chuckle met her, as Haryn laid his head back upon the ground âI must be dreamingâ He whispered, not quite registering what she was saying. âWhy else would you be here?â A low sniffle met her as tears began to well up within his eyes.âAll I ever wanted was to make you happyâ he sobbed, closing his eyes in emotional agony âYour smile, your happiness. I knew you werenât comfortable with the lords....I wanted nothing more than to help you escape, take you far away where you could live safely..but then...they made you forget...and now I canât ever see to it that youâre safe. Iâm to die when I awaken, and you will be stuck with those damned creatures once more..âHis sobbing continued, before he found himself within the all too warm embrace of her, causing him to pause, looking up to see the teary eyes of his love..âYou wonâtâ She sobbed, running her fingers through his dreadlocks, âI wonât let them kill youâSilence befell the two, before Haryn spoke once more, voice faint in shock. âYou...are realâ He whispered, practically relaxing into her embrace as she nodded.âI amâ She assured, smiling shakily âI...iâm sorry- i wish i had know I-ââYou didnâtâ Haryn assured, smiling to her âYou couldnât control what happenedâ He closed his eyes, sighing softly âI am simply glad youâre out of their clutchesââWe areâ She corrected, smiling âAnd I wonât let them take you away from meâHer smile was met with one from the drenchen, one she had seen before, from a distant memory as he regaled her with a story of mischief he had committed.âNeither will Iâ He whispered, holding her hand tightly as they basked in the otherâs caring embrace. (I hope itâs okay!! I ran out of steam halfway through but Iâve been trying to finish it for a day now orz)
