Recommended Listening: [Geralt Of Rivia- by Sonya Belousova & Giona Ostinelli]
Orpheus had been filled with rage, shame, and the need to conquer death itself. The Pale Beast was right; his journey in Ethuaria was far from ended. There was still a great deal of conquests to complete, lands to pillage, and empires to crumble and make his own.
"What will it be, little king of fire and ash?" The Pale Beast muttered, circling him. "Are you prepared to sacrifice that which makes you human to watch the world burn? To watch your enemies bow before you in servitude?"
It was a tempting offer, and as reckless as it was at first glance, what choice did Orpheus have? He refused to accept such a pathetic death while leaving nothing behind to his name.
It would bring great shame upon his bloodlines and the Dirnaan tribes he was meant to rule over.
