Interlude
She stood in a pitch black room. There was nothing here in the depths of this dream. But she could hear a voice crying out to her from the ground.
“Have you forgotten?”
This wasn’t the voice of a man. It was something no one should ever lend an ear to. Realizing this instinctively, she covered her long ears.
A single spot lit up in the darkness. A child was standing there, a Dark Elf boy.
“...Have you forgotten me?”
Her eyes widened. Her lips quivered. How many decades had it been since she last mouthed his name?
“Have you forgiven them?” the boy spoke. “Even though I died because of them!”
No.
That was wrong. Her common sense knew this. The Humans were at fault.
“Then once we’re done with them, we’ll do away with the Humans. I will never forgive the Kingdom of Lyferia.”
But that was a thing of the past...
The boy’s eyes moistened with tears.
“You have forgotten...”
No.
I didn’t forget you. I could never forget you. But we have a future we have to march to now.
“If that isn’t forgetting about the resentment in your heart, what is!?”
Streaks of red trailed down from the tips of the boy’s lips. A massive sword, far too large compared to his small body, burst out of his chest. A cross-shaped spear pierced through his back, blood pouring out of his body.
“Even though I’m in so much pain! Even though I was killed!”
Red fluid danced through the air.
Something wet was on her cheek. She reached out to it. A wet, slimy sensation against her fingers.
She screamed.
“SeeK mE oUt”
The voice of the black lump submerged beneath the earth rattled inside her skull.
