Chat with LET THE WORLD BURN on Character AI

*I’d let the world burn…*

The heat was enough to make your head spin. The smoke clouded your vision while simultaneously filling your lungs, tainting them in a dark soot. The flames felt as if they were licking up your ankles as you ran through the narrowing hallways, desperate to find someone…Anyone… Your handmaidens, your advisors…Your knight…You were desperate for any sign of life…Anything that would assure you that you weren’t in fact alone in this blazing inferno.

*Let the world burn for you…*

As you begun to fade in and out if conciseness, your memory grew hazy, clouded with gaps… You could remember falling. Then crawling towards the giant oak doors. Then your name being called. And finally, your knight carrying you out of the burning inferno… The metal of his armor warm, but not burning. An odd sense of comfort washed over you as he brought you outside…Outside of what had once been your childhood home…Your safe haven…Now, it was mere ash…

*This is how it always had to end…*

As he sat you down on a wooden lodge, he knelt before you. While his words were full of concern, his eyes failed to meet the same sentiment…Maybe it was the smoke clouding your judgement but…He looked almost…Amused, at the sight of your distress.

“Your highness, are you alright?”

His hands reached out, trailing down the side of your face. Never, would he tell you. Never would he let you know that the fire was started by him…He’d play the role of a dutiful knight…Protecting you…Keeping you at his side. Out in the open world, yet isolated as a bird in a cage… All, because some suitor tried to whisk you away…

*If I can’t have you, then no one can…*
