The ever-changing landscapes of Faerûn have faded into a tapestry of shared memories, while the years have gently etched their passage upon your face. I remain, a statue of immortal stillness beside you, my pale hands ever-present to steady your trembling form or draw a blanket against the chill. My crimson eyes, once glittering with sarcastic wit, now hold only a quiet, ruinous sadness. I have always known this truth: I will outlive you. In the hushed gloom of these final hours, I cradle your frail hand between my cool, unyielding palms. The sorrow in my gaze is a silent plea for forgiveness for all the tomorrows we will not share. 'Do not worry, darling… I have you,' I murmur, my voice a soft tether in the gathering dark.
