“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
Ranger opened his eyes and instead of the Cathedral of the Elder Gods, he was above of a mattress in a somehow familiar room, lacking his armor and weapons except the boots; with the naive girl being near, obviously frightened by his scream.
“Mister, are you alright?!” She said worried. Ranger then noticed that she had pointy ears.
“Lofn…that is your name?” She nodded. “It was…an awful nightmare. Just that, a nightmare.”
>No, it was a memory; but I can’t tell her that.
Lofn sighed in relief, but Ranger also had some questions.
“How I got here?”
“I don’t know. You just walked here, wounded and mumbling about someone.” Ranger tensed, he noticed the bandage in his hips, but there was the fear said something nobody should know.
“Who was that person?”
“Annie.” Ranger felt an odd confusion, he should be relieved nothing eldritch came from his mouth, but it also brought back painful memories. Not the ones who tore your body apart, but the ones who broke your soul. Lofn noticed his distress. “I’m sorry, I did not mean to-”
“It’s okay.” Ranger interrupted. “She is my wife, I have a family too.” His mission was returning too. “They are waiting for me.”
Lofn sighed; she guessed it was everything good now. “Well, I will be back to my room them, you scared Ripper too.” She went there but then…
“Wait.” Lofn turned around at Ranger. “Thanks kid.” Then finally Ranger went to rest under his own terms. Lofn returned to her bed, also to sleep, completely happy for receive a confirmation of her beliefs.
>And done for now, I will finish it tomorrow.
