What she was... offering...

What I had learned in my quest was surprsing, but this ending choice made it all the more heartbreaking. I had already found my love... I had already found out the lies of the priests and what they held within their corrupt hearts. I... had also known that this was another go around of the cycle and that no matter my answer. Another dragon would take her place and another sorry-sod would be in this same decision. Her voice though... sounded... so oddly... no...

Freia?!

My decsion has already been made...

I would not slay her, but I had no... virginity to offer... Not that I would give it up in the first place. Stuck between the life of my beloved or my... what I thought to be killed childhood friend... I could not choose... I could not!

So I could only offer a curse in reply.

"Choose!? How am I to choose!?"

"No matter my answer, a hollow choice it would be!"

"Between two lives I most cherish! To break or to lay still! If this be the will of the gods... The order of this world..."

"Than damn the lot of them! I'll tear the whole of it asunder!" My voice breaks, slumping to the ground on one knee... A scaled hand rests upon my shoulder and I look up into not a judgemental gaze of a immortal dragon. But a warm smiling face... one than I am very familiar with in my childhood.

"Thusly, I offer ye a third outcome, you wish to break this cycle? That you shall have and... more~" I have no strength to resist her or what comes next. But I guess the three of us are happier this way, I'll say. At the very least, the rampaging beasts have calmed down...

(Alternate Ending)

"Than damn the lot of them! I'll tear the whole of it asunder!" My voice breaks, slumping to the ground on one knee... when I hear her voice speak out.

"If that is your wish, than the price of... everything must be payed." A powerful spell suddenly takes me as I scream in agnoy... not even allowed to look upon her face one last time I am not killed, but banished... and something worse.

Upon a isle that which none dare enter, where Wonderland's denizens speak of in hushed tones and that of the Nether look with fearful eyes. Where Death herself roams and punishes those that walk it's desolate halls... I sit and wait in the Crucible of Souls. Where another that yet may fall victim to this cycle may best me in combat... none have gotten close however... But I will bide my time... until this world is lost forever, the cycle of the land cracked and broken. And my beloved in my arms...

Two wings stretch out from my back, red eyes gleam in distant glee... I cannot wait.
