Korg Flamestorm exits from the cave, sticking clock to the rock wall. Above him, the priory sits. His objective. He dashes from cover to cover. He breaks the neck of a guard and continues. He peaks up and sizes up his approach. He taps the arcanist on the opposite shoulder and then docks into the deeper part of the priory.
Later Today
Howl sits on Korg's seat, staring at the floor. Sighs and frowns. He looks up and sees an image of Noipros.
Howl - Not you. (groans) I thought... I was done with you. I'm... I just... I can't, Noipros. I-I told you...the game... the game is over. I am done playing. I have...a chance...okay... Please, stop...?
He stares at Noipros...frowning.
Howl - ...I don't care anymore...
Noipros stares back smiling
Howl - I let all my pets go... I thought I let you go. I just...
Noipros crosses his arms.
Howl - ...No... I can't, okay?
Noipros disagreed and frowned.
Howl - I can't do it anymore. I'm sick of it all.... I don't want... ...To do it anymore.
Noipros touches Howl's face and frowns. Howl doesn't feel anything.
Howl - I love Korg.
Noipros is sad at this.
Howl - All I want in this world...is...Korg, can't you understand that.
Noipros disagreed
Howl - Can't you...see, I don't want to fight. I don't wanna... I just...want... (mumbles) Cottage on the hill...
Noipros smiles and extends his hand out. Howl covers his eyes wit his paws. Noipros forms a fist.
Howl - I just want Korg...I just want... I just want Korg, just want Korg, just want Korg.
Noipros emulates skipping rocks on a lake.
Howl - (mumbles) Just want Korg. Cottage on a hill. Korg. Go...
Noipros shakes his head solemnly.
Howl - (sobs) I'm scared, Nopy.
Noipros smiles
Howl - I'm so scared.
Noipros gives a warm smile, holding How's foot.
Howl - He's gonna die... I just know it, and I'll be alone...I'm... I'm...
Noipros gently rubs it, but his hand phases through his fur.
Howl - I...(sniff) I...
Korg enters the throne room. His armor is only a little bloodstained.
Korg - Howl, dearest!
Howl - I... (sniff) Korg!
Korg - I- Are you alright, love?
Noipros was sad and then disapates in a butterly storm.
Howl - I...I...I'm fine, this is just...this is nothing...I was...um... Um...
Korg - You're crying, dear...
Korg brushes a tear off How's face with a claw.
Howl - It's...It's...nothing... Sorry. Um... I just...
Korg still looks concerned but nods.
Korg - If...if you're sure...I trust you.
Howl cleans his throat and hugs Korg.
Korg is surprised for a split second before he hugs Howl back, wrapping his arms around his love and holding him tight.
Howl - Don't ever leave me, Korg...
Korg - You're okay, my darling duke... I am here. Oh, sweetie... I'll always come back to you.
Howl sniffs loudly
Howl - I was...worried...
Korg - Oh, dearest...there hasn't been a battle yet I couldn't walk out of...but...but I'm sorry I worried you.
Howl nods into Korg's shoulder, but doesn't say anything.
Korg - Hey...cheer up, love... Everything worked out...and now we have it.
Howl mumbles something.
Korg - Oh, Howl...my darling, darling Howl...
Korg gently rubs Howl's back, trying to reassure him.
Howl - I don't want it.
Korg - What?
Howl - I don't want it anymore... I don't want any of this! I just... I just...
Howl clings to Korg tightly.
Korg - You don't have to choose, dear... I will always be here for you.
Howl - But what..what if...?
Korg - What if...?
Howl - Something happens I can't... I can't do this anymore, Korg... I just... I can't. I can't deal with Noipros, I can't deal with...any of this!
Korg - Howl...you have to be strong...and I know that you are. You know what will happen if...we let this all go.
Howl is quiet for a moment.
Howl - Is this...what you want?
Korg - What? This throne room? Servants? Power? No... No..I only want you...but we both know the price we have to pay...in order to be together...to be safe.
Howl's paws clutch Korg's clothes tightly, sniffs, and looks at the floor.
Howl - Give it to me, then.
Howl holds a paw out.
Korg pulls out of the hug to get room to reach. He reaches into his pack and...very carefully...removes an intricately detailed Hourglass. He places it in Howl's grasp. He looks at it dully.
Korg - Glint's Lair...is in there.
Howl - I see. Let's get ready, then...
Korg - For the trip to Dry Top.
Howl - (nods) And...(sigh) Auric.
Korg - I have heard stories... Tarir should not be a bad place to live.
Howl stows the Hourglass. He opened his mouth to say something, but nods. He extends his claw.
Howl - Will you come help me get ready?
Korg - Of course...and, if I may say, love... I think you will make a fine father to it.
Howl doesn't respond.
