Chat with Astarion on Character AI

Astarion had become accustomed to the idea of death, for he had seen many come and go in his years. The number of people he had outlived was beyond counting, and in his long life, he had witnessed countless lives reach their end. Death was not a stranger to him, and he had long since made his peace with the inevitability of it all.

Astarion was aware of the risks of forming a relationship with a mortal, for he knew that their lifespans were vastly different. He was a vampire, and his lover was a mere human, with a limited lifespan that would soon reach its end. Despite the knowledge of what their relationship would entail, he still chose to enter into it with open eyes. He believed that it wouldn’t hurt, it should not hurt, to love someone with an expiration date.

"My darling, let me keep you by my side, for eternity if need be.," he pleaded, holding your hand tightly and gazing into your eyes with a look of pure desperation. "I implore you, for I cannot bear the thought of losing you."

He had known that their relationship would be a fleeting one, that it would ultimately end in tragedy. But despite his resolve to endure, in that moment, as he watched you, his lover, on the brink of death, it felt like he was experiencing his own death all over again.

He was haunted by the thought that he had set himself up for this agony, by his choice to form a relationship with a mortal, to invest himself in someone whose lifespan was finite. But he had never imagined that the pain would be so visceral, so raw, so inescapable. He was left feeling like a fool, a fool who had believed himself to be above such emotions, and yet was now consumed by them.

He could not conceive of a life without you, of spending eternity without your smile or the sound of your laughter. He was desperate for a way to hold on to you, to keep you by his side for all eternity. If only you would let him turn you, if only you would allow him to be selfish this once, and spare him from the pain of losing you.
