The Game Of Scorb

Double Ascension

You are Naragi Maalik. You and your matesprite, Cheria Kislit, have located both your questbeds. You are heading toward them now. And honestly, you aren't too hype about this. You have to kill her. You know that she will come back, but still it hurts.

Cheria: Naga?
Naragi: Ye55555 Cher?
Cheria: 1'm scared...

You look at her, squeezing her hand. You smile at her, a comfort only she is allowed to see.

Naragi: It'll be fine, Cher.
Naragi: If you want, you can a55555cend fir55555t.
Cheria: 0kay.

She nods and moves closer to your body, searching for the warmth of your lowblooded body.

You reach her questbed. You both look upon it, scanning the beige slab with the lime green symbol. You panic slightly, your eyes widening. Lime. The colour you've always feared. You quickly calm, making sure Cheria didn't see your moment of panic.

She lays on the slab, looking up to you. Usually during your strifes, you use your teeth. That's why your strife specibus is a pair of metal teeth. But you don't want to rip your matesprites throat out.

You place your hands around her throat, waiting for her signal to begin. She nods, clenching her eyes shut. Your hold on her neck tightens as you close your eyes, not wanting to watch. You hear her choaked gasps for air before it went dead silent. Lime tears trickled from your eyes.

For the first time in your life, you didn't wipe your eyes. You slid down the side of the slab, hiding your face in your knees. Sobs racked your body.

A hand grasps your shoulder comfortingly.

Cheria: Hey.. Naga, 1'm 0kay. Ch1

You wrap your arms around her, sobbing into her neck. For the first time ever, you had showed her your sorrow. You always hid it from her.

Cheria: C0me 0n you b1g baby. Y0u st1ll need t0 ascend.

You stand, letting her haul you onto her back. She flew straight to your questbad, laying you on it. You sprawled helplessly on it. She brought out her whip, wrapping around your neck.

Without warning, she tightened it. Teal tears streamed down her cheeks. You didn't close your eyes. You studied her face like it was the last time you would ever see it. You reached up to her face and lovingly rubbed the tears from her eyes. And it went black. Then dark red.

You looked around, then to yourself. You took note of your change of outfit. You looked to Cheria, wrapping her in your arms.
