I will fight the end
Ronin didn't want to be here, and he had forced himself, step by step, to get to the top of the lighthouse. Something about it no longer felt right. Partly it was that he didn't think he deserved to be there, with how his heard roiled and battled in its feelings about Safrin. But partly he didn't think she deserved him there, either - and it was ego, and he knew it, but knowing it alone did not make it go away.
Still, the Dark Star knew his place and he knew his goddess, and so he came and placed his offering - a marvellous sketch of the goddess in her brilliance, made for Seren originally to remind her of her mother - at the foot of her altar. "I don't expect you to want to see me," he said softly. "But before I go to the Hollowed Ground, for Longnight... please, keep them safe. Remi and Seren, while I'm gone. Even if the gods aren't able to do anything during Longnight. Even if the stars don't shine then. Please keep them safe."
