Chapter 7

Gaspare has been stunned at the deafening silence that followed. No
longer does he sense his Muse, hear her voice, or feel the cold
chill of her otherworldly love. As much as it troubled him before,
he now misses it and feels strangely uninspired.

He discussed the matter with Daphedee, who also has lost a loved
one. He came to the realization that just as everyone dies alone,
everyone loves alone. That is, Gaspare believes his love is his
alone to give and wholly independent of Melianna's love for him.

Gaspare abhors the path of the wight, which he sees as hideous and
lacking in capacity for artistry. The mummy's path is tempting, as
it would allow him to continue drinking and indulging in the
pleasures of the flesh.

But as things now stand, he has set his mind to keeping Melianna's
soul for himself, and Becoming a lich so that he may harness it and
tend to it well.
