"Calidain!" I scream.

There was only smoke everywhere. I saw the god die. I saw him stab him. I run forward. Tears grip my eyes. I can't hear Vex and I don't want to hear her. I see a massive hole. The God was obliterated. He did it. He really did it. But at what cost? What was the price he paid? I see the smoke clear. My eyes widen.

"Calidain!" I scream.

I jump down. My heart freezes like ice. I could barely think. I could barely breathe. I can't... I can't... I can't lose you. No... please don't do this to me. I grab him. He was battered. He looked fucking awful. I look around. The God's gone. I let my tears go. I turn and see the other's running forward.

"Vax!" Vex yells up to me.

"Calidain... get up, please." I sniff.

"Oh!" Keyleth yelps.

"Calidain... please, please, don't do this to me. Wake up. Wake up!" I yell.

"Vax..." Vex starts.

"Shut the fuck up!" I yell at her.

Tears grip my eyes. Keyleth falls and cries as well.

"I love you. You hear me? I love you." I press my lips into his head.

~~~<>~~~

I finally have broken free of my curse, so why do I feel like shit? I look around. There is only blackness all around me. A meaningless void like the one I have lived in for so long, but now that I am free this just feels so wrong. I can't explain it, but...

"Yes, you can." I hear.

I turn.

"Dirok." I say.

Tears grip my eyes. I throw myself at his feet. I kneel before him.

"My boy, what's gotten into you?" Dirok asks.

"I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry." I say.

He lifts my head up.

"Go back Calidain, it should not be your time." Dirok says.

"Why? Why burden myself again?" I ask. 

"Calidain! Please!" I hear.

I look up.

"For him." Dirok says.

"Vax..." I mutter.

"He clearly loves you." Dirok says.

I look down.

"So do you love him?" Dirok asks.

A smile forms on my face.

"Yes." I answer.
