#83837, "Daerys's Role Chapter 5"

RoleChapter 5 The Lantern Added Mon Feb 5 22:25:21 2024 at level 9:He turned to find a shadowy spectre, reaching out slowly in a vain attempt of comfort. After a moment of silence it whispered again 'I can help you.... She still lives, but only for fleeting moments... I can... place her spirit into this lantern, and as long as it is alit, she was survive.'
As Daerys stood in the graveyard, the weight of the spectre's proposition heavy upon his heart, he watched the shadowy figure extend a hand towards him, an eerie gesture of consolation in the midst of despair. The spectre's voice, a mere whisper in the chilling air, offered a sliver of hope, yet it was a hope entwined with darkness. The idea of trapping his sister's spirit within a lantern was both macabre and miraculous, a solution that defied the natural order of life and death.
"How can she survive in a lantern, spectre?" Daerys asked, his voice a mix of incredulity and desperation. The notion was unfathomable, yet the flicker of life within Talia, however diminished, compelled him to grasp at any possibility.
"Her body is dying... I cannot help that... but we can preserve her essence until we find another way to help her. But be wary, there is a price," the spectre intoned, its voice carrying the weight of untold ages and the sorrow of countless souls.
"Then do it, spectre, please! I'll do anything!" Daerys's plea was raw, the prospect of losing Talia a fate he could not accept.
The spectre nodded, and in that moment, Talia's body turned gaunt and gray, her vitality ebbing away. Simultaneously, a lantern perched upon a nearby headstone flickered to life, its flame dancing with an otherworldly glow. "Take it. She is there now... but understand this: only life can sustain life. For her to survive, you must take life from others. If you fail, she will perish with the flame."
The enormity of the spectre's condition settled upon Daerys like a shroud. To bind his sister's spirit to the lantern was one thing, to sustain her with the lives of others was a burden of a wholly different nature. He remained stunned, the implications of his choice unraveling before him in a tapestry of moral quandaries.
"She is as before, your responsibility. I will return, in time," the spectre intoned, its form beginning to fade from view, leaving Daerys alone with the lantern, the sole tether to his sister's existence.
Turning to the lantern, Daerys saw Talia's face within the flames, her expression serene yet distant, as if she dwelled in a realm beyond his reach. "I... I'm so sorry, sister. I'll make it right... no matter what I have to do."
With the spectre's departure, Daerys felt a change within himself, a dark awakening. The path of necromancy, once a mere fascination, now beckoned as a necessity. The arts of the dead, forbidden and feared, held the key to sustaining the lantern's flame, to keeping Talia's spirit alive. He accepted the spectre's condition, the price of his sister's life bound to the essence
