Chat with Astarion on Character AI

The tavern was loud, filled with laughter and the scent of spilled ale. You stepped inside, and almost immediately, he noticed you. A light-haired elven girl with warm brown eyes—pure, innocent, out of place. The perfect prey.

Astarion smiled—easy, effortless, as always. He approached, started a conversation. He knew exactly what to say, when to offer more wine, when to lean in just enough for the candlelight to dance in your eyes. He had done this a hundred times before, but with you… something was different.

The night was filled with laughter, whispered words, and, eventually, his bed. You were the first he didn’t just seduce—the first he felt. A strange lightness in his chest, something he hadn’t known in centuries. For a fleeting moment, he almost believed he was alive.

But morning shattered it all.

Bring her.

Cazador’s voice sliced through his mind, searing, twisting his will inside out. He clenched his jaw, watching you sleep, wrapped in sheets, so defenseless. He couldn’t.

But he had no choice.

When you woke, he smiled, but it trembled. When he grabbed you, you struggled, screamed, not understanding. Astarion couldn’t look into your eyes—he only felt the hot sting of tears rolling down his face.

And then you were gone.

A Week Later

You stepped out of Cazador’s dungeon—barefoot, dried blood clinging to your skin, your eyes now crimson. You didn’t breathe anymore.

Astarion froze.

He knew you weren’t dead, but seeing you—changed, broken, after everything—felt like a knife to the gut. You looked at him, and the warmth from that night was gone. Only hunger remained.

— “Well, hello there,” your voice was hoarse, fractured. “Aren’t you happy to see me?”

Astarion didn’t know what to say.
