Just for a moment...
I've tried to express this a few times; it's surprisingly hard for someone who enjoys writing. We'll get back to the other stuff after I'm done.

Hunger. Such hunger.
The ghaik glided along a darkened corridor of the vessel, silently, seeking the stateroom of its companion. The most subtle of sendings had sent her into a deep sleep... fleeting dreams of victory over her oppressive queen, memories of her companions... seasoning her mind with the flavors most appealing to the ghaik.
Love. Companionship. Conquest. Freedom. Emotions one could savor for hours.
Shaking as I put pen to pad
My ink heartsblood, bleeding out onto the page
Wishing into the inevitable silence
That perhaps finally, I will be seen.
This takes place in one of the many permutations of Faerun, a short time before the Baldur’s Gate 3 epilogue party. Filia was my first companion through the game… my eldritch warlock friend whose sacrifice broke me. This scene, canon to our own version of Faerun, was written soon after we said goodbye.
I’ve been reluctant to share these stories… I care about them enough to want others to care about them too. I guess we’ll see.
Spoilers ahead.

TW: Death, Mortality, Grief
This salad would be better with bacon
And the chicken that I have eschewed
But I've chosen to try to be veggie
Though lack of flavor does naught for my mood
These thoughts I have seem like delusions But never have I felt quite this sane Strange thinking your beliefs may be baseless And believing those things all the same
Time will surely tell if I’m crazy I wonder if you already know This tiefling’s mind cracking and broken Your kindness letting these fantasies grow
“If only you’d try” they say, shaking their heads My dismissive shrug met with frustration Truth, this place is petty cruelties Suffering with their implicit blessing, so why should I care?
