It’s time. I’ve learned the the people who made the armor are called The Seven Sisters of Darkness, and they wish to enslave the world under their rule, bringing the world to a new age of darkness. I am now their vassal, all because I put on the armor. They have given me a choice, they’ve set their final plan in motion and have tasked me with killing the entire hero’s encampment controlling my body or they will control me, either way, it will happen. I don’t want to do it, but I feel it is better, for once, I’m at a loss for a decision.

I did it…I’ve killed them all. I walked away to be in Sparkswood one more time. Liari, Zara, and Rose followed me, asking what was wrong. Before they could leave, I summoned a sword, stabbing Zara and blasting Rose through the wall. Liari ran out, screaming for the others. As I left the building, an arrow whizzed by my shoulder, coming from AJ’s bow. Lahar and Jack, our fighter, charged me. I blasted Lahar back, taking Jack one on one. I quickly dispatched him, while dodging the occasional arrow from AJ. I teleported to AJ, needing the arrows to stop, but Liari, Ash, and Kit, another rogue, kept me busy while AJ slipped back. I sent Liari flying, not wanting to hurt my friend yet, killing Ash and Kit took a matter of seconds, a quick slash to Kit’s chest and a stab into Ash’s stomach. Lahar came at me again, a ball of rage and steel. A brutal dual ensued, one of the best I’ve had, but a strong blast to Lahar’s shield and telekinesis finished him off. A few others came at me, no bother, I needed to find AJ, he was the only person alive who could stop me yet. Suddenly, I felt an arrow in my shoulder, piercing almost to the other side. I turned and narrowly avoided another arrow. I rushed at him, dodging arrows and shooting off my own blasts. Once I got close, it was over. I delivered four slashes to his torso, and one final one to his head. I stood still, breathing hard, covered in blood and surrounded by corpses. Suddenly I heard a battle cry from behind me. Turning around, I saw Liari charging me. I didn’t have time to react and she stabbed me, piercing the armor and landing in my gut. In a fit of rage, I blasted her with magic, slamming her into a wall. I knew she was dead before she hit the ground. As I pulled the sword out, I heard her coughing, she was still alive. I walked up to her, taking off my helmet and looked at her. I told her I was sorry, and she just smiled and told me it was alright. At that moment every adventure I’d had over the last few years with her and everyone else. A couple tears fell from my face. I knelt down in front of her, once again telling her I was sorry. Letting out a fit of coughs, she said one thing that will stick with me forever. “Raevin, really, I understand. I guess it was never meant to be.” and with that line, she died. I closed her eyes, stood up, and put my helmet back on. The armor told me to go to Kingslanding, another large city. I walked out of the encampment one more time, leaving my friends for the last time.
