Description

He’s too shocked to do anything. He can only stare as his life falls to pieces, and ironically, seeing his house on fire hurts more than the taint that is eating him alive. All these years of tears and blood, all these years working until he fell asleep over a bunch of deathroot, the pain, the travels, the investment… all those things, for what?

He can’t pay attention to the slaughter, to the screams, the shrieks that sound closer and closer as he just stands there, his right arm twisted in a grotesque gesture. He wonders where the cat might be. That old grumpy thing was always smart, he probably left days ago. Maybe he’s inside the house, as hopeless and scared as Nino is right now. He looks down, and he’s still holding one of his daggers, blade covered in blood and dirt - as he is - not facing the broken world around him, but his stomach, scratching the beautiful embroidery of the vest.

He’s not brave enough to do it, though, so he simply stays there, just wondering if the taint will claim him before the darkspawn do. It doesn’t matter, because he doesn’t feel alive anymore, and the whispers in his head are getting louder.

My entry for the Halloween contest at :iconthemerrymabari:

I feel like the most despicable human being :_D this is kind of an AU, but still could happen in the future. Actually, the thing with the house IS going to happen :_D
