a memory overcomes him.
You are on a flat plateau, watching the ruins shake in the distance. Your heart is in your throat. The winds are nearly hurricane-force; would endanger you and your horse if you weren't in the lee of a rock formation.
When the dragon rises, when it immediately starts to be assaulted by the bright rush of lightning and fire and earth and ice below, you know. You have failed half of your objective. Luc will die as he wished, but his Rune will not die with him.
You watch him fight his final battle. You owe it to him to do that.
You are the closest to weeping you have ever been, when he finally falls. You never actually get there. It burns in your chest, your throat. It never manages to translate to actual tears.]
