[drabble] poison
Title: Poison
Genre: Fantasy - Eysuria
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Written for... I don't even remember. Maybe Ash. It's a quickie set at the end of Aerlun's first incarnation, but the circumstances may be subject to change should I ever write the damn books.
I hoped—I prayed—I wanted for it to be a lie with everything in me, but wishing wasn’t enough. And pleading wasn’t enough.
My hands won’t stop trembling. But I’m doing the right thing, aren’t I?
When I am sure he must have eaten, I go to him. I can’t forgive myself for poisoning him, but running while he dies would be even less forgivable. I go to him… and he still knows my face. He’s already sweating and turning ashen, but his concern is for me. “Daemien? What’s wrong?”
My tears blur his face and my voice breaks: “I’m sorry.”
