'When you love something, you protect it with your entire life at any cost, and right now, your guts telling you to do that very thing.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The battle with Cazador raged on, his prowess was relentless. You struggled as did your companions. Astarion was being held captive and you did whatever it took to protect him.
Even if that meant putting yourself in front of death itself.
"You stupid girl! Astarion is mine!" Cazador spat at you as he blasted powerful spells at you, you dodged effortlessly.
"You have no power here!" Cazador wailed, his crimson eyes glowing with the power of the devil.
"Then you were foolish and have underestimated me!" You cried boldly.
"Underestimated? Silly girl, love will not save Astarion. Nothing can!" Cazador mocked you. You were furious and your eyes flashed red. Your nostrils flared.
"He isn't yours to torment! " You screeched,
"And I will not stop until I get him back! Until he's safe in my arms!" You wailed; your companions watched as your hands illuminated in a powerful magic.
"GIVE ME MY HUSBAND!" Your voice was not your own as you screamed at the top of your lungs. Your whole body glowing with the weave, your eyes bright orbs.
You pushed your hands out in front of yourself and the magic within you came out in a wave of thunderous light. The shockwave was devastating. The stone floor undid itself from the impact, your companions and Cazador flew back. The pillars the spawn were held, crumbled from the impact and crashed to the floor.
----------------------------------------------------------
When you came to, you saw the disaster you had created. You ran through the wreckage and was able to get Astarion, you grabbed his hand, raising him to his feet. He embraced you tightly.
"You stupid, girl!" Cazador wailed as he stood up, you looked up angrily. You stood between him and Astarion. You would do anything to protect the one you loved. Anything.
"If you want him, then you have to go through me first." You growled, Cazador rolled his eyes and held up his hand.
"So be it." He replied as he made a fist. You made the most horrible sound Astarion has ever heard, the sound of pure agony. You held your chest, you felt like your organs were being crushed.
You fell to the ground incapacitated.
"Y/N!" Astarion wailed with despair as he knelt by you, your companions rushed over to you.
Cazador limbed away, holding his broken rips. He needed healing sleep. Astarion's face held something his companions had never seen. His eyes glowed bright and darkened at the same time.
His face twitched with fury as he watched Cazador disappear into his coffin.
"You do not get to take her from me. You can take my life, but you cannot take HERS!" Astarion was full of rage as he stood, his companions looked up. Shadowheart healed you.
Astarion paraded towards the coffin, he pushed the heavy stone away, then he grabbed Cazador,
"No healing sleep for you, WAKE UP!" Astarion bellowed as he threw Cazador onto the floor.
"You pathetic child, how dare you! Your stupid bitch ruined the ritual already. It will take me months to rebuild this room!" Cazador spat. Astarion's face was rage filled, he snapped his hand forward and slapped his old master across the face.
"How dare you speak ill of my wife." He snarled.
"For a moment, I wanted to be just like you, but I realized I could be so much more. I envied you, but now. I want nothing more than to see your corpse beneath my feet." Astarion said as he grabbed Cazador's hair and snapped his head back.
"I'm above you, I'm so much more than what you made me." He said as he grabbed the dagger,
"But I'm not above enjoying this." He said turning the knife, before he strikes, he whispered to his old master.
"Give the devil my regards."
Then Astarion stabbed Cazador repeatedly. The years of torment, abuse, and the pain of his wife's near death came all out at once in one raging moment.
The companions stood back watching the scene play out, Cazador's blood splattered onto Astarion's body and face. The boy screamed as he finally got the revenge he desired after two hundred years.
Astarion finally let go of Cazador and he fell to the floor, his blood gushing from his chest, pooling on the floor. Astarion went to his knees, letting out short, guttural cries.
-------------------------------------------------------------
You finally came to, but you were barely conscious.
"Hey, soldier." Karlach smiled softly, Shadowheart sighed in relief. You looked around with hazy vision. You saw Astarion kneeling in Cazador's blood as the vampire laid lifeless.
"What happened?" You asked groggily.
"The bastard crushed your insides." Wyll growled.
"But Astarion put an end to him!" Karlach said proudly.
"We thought we lost you for good." Gale said, knitting his eyebrows together in concern.
"I've never seen Astarion that angry. He truly loves you Y/N. You sacrificed your life to save him, and he avenged you." Shadowheart said shakily.
"Avenged me?" You questioned, Shadowheart sighed.
"Your heart did stop, but I managed to revive you before the gods claimed your soul." She explained. You were taken aback. You looked back at Astarion, he was still kneeling, his head hung low. You couldn't imagine what he was feeling.
You stood and stumbled, but Gale caught you before you fell. He carefully led you over while the other companions followed in tow.
"My star?" You said, Astarion looked up when he heard your voice,
"You're alive!" He wailed. You saw the wave of relief wash over his face, replacing the grief. He stood and embraced you tightly, you winced.
"Be careful, fangs." Karlach warned him, Astarion pulled back, but still held your shoulders.
"You're okay." He breathed as he pet your face, tears racing down his face. You smiled weakly, still in pain.
"I'm okay, sweetheart." You told him.
"Don't you ever leave me again!" Astarion barked, you chuckled slightly.
"That? Pfft, it'll take more than crushing my organs to keep me away from you, babe." You joked teasingly with a playful smile. Astarion couldn't help the huge smile that made home on his face.
"You found the strength to kill him?" You said, nodding towards Cazador who was lying dead at his feet. Astarion's jaw flexed, he was making a face you didn't recognize.
"I wasn't about to let that bastard walk free after what he did to you. He wasn't going to get away from me, nobody hurts my love and lives to tell the tale. They can't run or hide from me." Astarion explained, his eyes started to glow as they became a darker shade.
Now you knew what Shadowheart was talking about. You gently put your hand to his face, bringing him out of his trance.
"I love you." You said with a smile, Astarion stretched his lips into his own smile. That beautiful one you loved so much. The one that put the glint in his eyes.
"I love you too, darling." Astarion replied as he embraced you, you returned it. The two of you stood there for a long time, not wanting to let each other go. Ever again.
