One More Day NWN2 Casavir

Description

Casavir stood in the cold hall of the church by the altar. He had watched his lady, his love Kyrie fall into a troubled sleep at his side, but he himself was restless and could not find rest.

He lit the candles one by one, murmuring the proper words, and knelt to pray as he did each and every evening before retiring. But tonight, he felt different. He was not content to whisper the cold and static words memorized from a tome. Ritualistic words for ritualistic times, but those times were gone. Casavir stood and raised his eyes heavenward.

"Tyr, my life I have pledged to you, to see justice done for those who cannot do it themselves, to bring balance to the forces of evil. I have never asked you for anything for myself. I have never needed to, until now..."

Casavir took a deep breath and continued.

"I know as part of my vows as a paladin of your order I have agreed to die for you, for the greater good. I have always known that someday you would call this debt payable. I have trusted that you will do so when it will mean the most to those I have sworn to protect. Tyr..."

His voice broke and his hands trembled slightly.

"...father of justice, my words this night are on behalf of the woman I love, she is my heart, my soul, my light. I know my Kyrie will accept your will, but I ask you now to give her your holy protection. Protect her body from the blows of her enemies, protect her soul from the influences of evil, protect her precious heart from the pain I know is yet to come."

Tears flowed freely down Casavir's cheeks. He laid bare his soul for his god.

"Tyr, please hear my words. I love this woman with everything I have, everything I am. If I should fall in battle, take her into your arms, for she shall need you more at that time than she ever will. I ask you to forgive the rage I know she will have towards you."

Casavir ran a trembling hand across his eyes.

"But now...today...the prayer I ask on my own behalf...I beg you Tyr, give me one more day...one more day to walk by her side."

He knelt once more, then stood and bowed his head. Turning, he walked quickly down the hall and out of the darkened church into the night, back to the arms of his beloved.

Behind him, the candles on the altar flickered...and went out.

This made my heart skip a beat! It seems like something he would say too. I love him soo much, I fell for his paladin charm the second he joined my party. I was so pissed in MotB when I found he had died, I was playing a cleric so I vowed to return and bring him back from death. >.<
