Marcellus,
The Darkness still haunted me. I had known for weeks that something was brewing, but I didn't think it would involve bringing me back from the dead. When I was twenty-five , the death scare came until it didn't. I had five extra years. Now, I don't know how long I had, but I knew it had everything to do with Claudia.
When darkness took over, it felt cold for a bit. Haunting. I regretted sending her away. I didn't want her to watch me burn myself into nothingness. That was a task I had given myself, to watch myself fade before my eyes, no regrets, just emptiness. Then, regret came. Just one.
Her.
"Tell me what happened?" I questioned Nate as he looked at me casually, still in awe that I was still standing.
"I already explained." He began." We arrived at the citadel, the monk only let her in. I was outside waiting for her the entire time. She apparently summoned the goddess. Well, I wouldn't know, the only proof that she was being truthful is that you are alive."
