"A Last Moment"
Just to say this blog is still alive, I'll make a post. Although I have to admit this isn't anything new (actually a bit old), it was one of those things I just thought of writing with a spark of inspiration and a thick fog of boredom.
===========================================
A Last Moment
Pain wracked his whole body, his teeth gritting while trying to shrug it off somehow. His bed shook due to his constant trembling. The town healer had told him he did not have long, but he did not actually expect it to end already.
Lyre came dashing in to his room with a worried look on her face. She immediately tried to hold him down; tears already welling up on her eyes. She had dreaded this moment, ever since that accident with a small dose of nightshade extract.
After a few more convulsions, Ramm finally started to settle down; all the while Lyre kept holding his hands. She immediately took a towel from a drawer and dipped it in a small basin of cold frostspring water, then placed it upon her husband窶冱 forehead.
Ramm slowly opened his mouth, finding great difficulty in doing so. 窶廚-call muh-my窶ｦ窶� he stammered between labored gasps, 窶廴mm br-bro-uther.窶�
Lyre opened her mouth to speak against it, but she could not. Slowly she stood, and tried as she might to dash out the room to call Naer, Ramm窶冱 brother. A few seconds and Naer came running onto his brother窶冱 bedside.
But he was all too late窶ｦ
Ramm wasn窶冲 even able to say his last words to his wife nor his brother. Lyre fell down to the floor on knees, crying all the tears that she had kept inside. Naer merely knelt in silent prayer for his brother窶冱 soul, tears silently rolling down his cheeks.
He knew what his brother would have made him promise to do. But he will not fulfill it. He will find someone who will love Lyre as his brother would have. All for the love that he bore for Lyre even before she and Ramm were married. All in atonement for his poisoning of his brother in a fit of jealousy.
Tonight, he will tell her. Tomorrow, he shall leave for his search.
