Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
by Cheerysmores
Your sick urge snarls at his words and a vision floods your mind. You see the world stained red with death, crushed under your heel and made anew under a bright bloody sun– a future that’s yours and yours alone. You shake the thought away and Gortash's his deal with a practised smile. It’s a fool’s bargain. Soon Bane’s little errand boy will be the latest in your group’s growing collection of pretty corpses.Those shadowed eyes linger on you as you start to turn away. “You know, I tolerated Orin, but I liked you.”Of all he’s said, it’s those words that pierce the deepest. They’re almost familiar, an echo of something now rotted away inside you. Perhaps you could have wanted him once, long ago in the ghost of another life. You picture your knife skewering his heart, his blood flowing onto your hands like the sweetest summerwine.Now that is a gift you’re going to savour.You let your companions shower you with their metallic revulsion as you exit the room. You can hardly blame them. The revelation that you were… are … part of the Absolute's plot is a lot to think on.Strangely, it doesn’t revolt you as much as it probably should.***Part of the BG3 tarot project!
