*is manically digging runes into the sand, attempting to perform a ritual from a spell book, a black book, with silver pages. old, archaic, ancient magic*

*running down the forest trying to find him. butt as fucking naked. not even caring about potential stares* (edited)

*Following close behind her*

*stumbles upon him. seeing the runes. studying them a moment*

You recognize this spell..... it's a banishment spell.... he's trying to send himself back to the void....you also know... it's a one way trip...

DAD, STOP!

It's the only way LIly... don't you see that?

*casts hold person. so he can no longer move and finish the runes* No it's not. Now please just....calm down....let us speak....

*Coming up beside Lily* G-gale?? Darling what are you doing?

It's a banishment spell.....

*closes his eyes, before opening them, them glowing with ancient arcane magic, the orb breaking her hold person for him* It must be done.... For you.... for both of you... *waves his hand and the rest of the runes manifest themselves and the book starts to float in front of him, turning to the page on it's own* I won't hurt you.... I won't risk turning back into... into that monster again.... This will hurt you, and i'm sorry for that, but it'll hurt far less than... than the alternative.... *the runes ignite and begin to glow* Forgive me.... (edited)

*uses her own traces of the orb to break his runes. the book falling to the ground. beginning to glow as well* **DAMN IT, GALE OF WATERDEEP, LISTEN OR I SWEAR TO THE GODS!**

*Instead of shouting. just walks closer to him* Gale... Honey this.. is not the way to do things... please... stay..

Nisha...... *his eyes still glowing, but you can see the sadness behind them* you... you were right.... it's not worth the risk... and... and that goes for you too... I can't risk either of you..... *resets the runes, taking a knife he stole from the kitchen and slitting his wrist a bit, letting it bleed into the center rune, giving the spell it's target* ᛁ ᚺᚨᛁᛚᚨᚦᚨ ᚦ ᚷᛁᚾᚾᚢᛜ (Ee Hail-ath-a Thuh Gin-noong] {I call upon the Abyss.....} *he begins the spell*

*she pushes him out of the circle by tackling him.*

*her eyes became wide and welled with tears and she covered her mouth in shock. frozen*

*takes his knife and throws it as far as she can with her magic*

*the arcane energy fading, the spell book at his side* Lily!! What.. what have you done.... I.. I told you.. I can't do risk you.. I can't risk her... let me do this... for you... let me save you... while I still can...

*just holding him there. crying*...please....don't let me lose you too....not again....

Gale.. *She approaches gradually.* What.. what will i do if you are gone?... what if... what if i am carrying our child... and i have to raise it alone?... i may be able to manage... but.. i would be so lost without you... you are the one thing on my mind when i awake in the mornings. the one who brings joy and meaning to my life. the one i love more than anything else in this world..... so please Gale... do not leave it.. do not leave me... us....

*rubbing Lily's back gently now*

It's.. better this way.... Better to lose me... than for me to hurt you, to lose you for the wrong reasons.... At least... at least i'll do one good thing before I go... so that.. so that you'll remember me for this act, rather than any other... let me make this sacrifice, so that nothing can ever happen to you....

*speaking between sobs* D...Don't you get it?....th....this very act proves that nothing will happen to us....b.... because you would r...rather sentence yourself to eternal darkness, than hurt us....Just....y...you're going about it....the...the wrong way.....

It's.. not the wrong way... it's... it's the only way... the only way I can be sure....

And what if it isn't the outcome you believe it to be? What if.. doing this now... is for nothing? And you throw away your chance of having a better life.. a life.. with us..

I... I can't live with myself knowing that... knowing that I can hurt you.... I won't hurt you... I won't allow it to happen.... I.... can't... let it happen.... *uses gust of wind to push them out of his circle.. the runes shifting and lighting up, the book rising and flipping to another page. the gust making him, and the runes, barely visible behind the dust storm* But I can't... lose you either.... ᛒᛚᛟᚦᚨ ᛒᚨᚾᛞᛟ ᛁᚠᛁ ᚨᛁᚢᛁ ᚺᚨᚱᛗᛟ ᛗᚨᚦᚨᛁ ᚦᚹᚨᚲᛟ ᛒᛁ ᛗᚨᚦᚨᛁ ᛞᚨᚢᚦ ᛒᛁ ᛗᚨᚦᚨᛁ ᛒᛚᛟᚦᚨ... ᛒᛁ ᛒᛚᛟᚦᚨ... [Blo-tha Ban-do I-fee Ai-vee Har-mo Ma-thai Thwa-ko Bee Ma-thai Dau-th Bee Ma-thai Blo-tha... Bee Blo-tha...] {By blood, bind me, if I ever, harm another, may their pain be my pain, may their death be my death, may their blood... be my blood...}

An explosion of arcane magic occurs before them, sending Gale plummeting back to the ground, the runes faded to blackened ash, new runic tattoos on his chest near his heart, his wrist showing a scar where he cut it, and the book now laying at his side as he lay unconscious on the ground

**GALE!!** *She falls to her knees beside him and holds him in her arms once the space cleared of the blast. tears streaming down her cheeks* G-gale?

*runs after him. already making plans to try and break that spell* WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

*Continues to hold him. but realizes that he's still breathing. feeling the faintest of energy indicating life. looking down at him* Gale... wake up... please... Oh gods please...

*slapping his cheeks lightly trying to wake him* Wakey Wakey you Dumbass....I'm sorry, I love you...but WAKE UP

Lily! Not helping!! we need to get him home... *She picks him up to the best of her ability. giving herself a little boost of strength to at least keep his top half up and lays one arm over her shoulders* Take his other arm... Please.

*casts levitate and floats him* He needs a damn hospital. Who knows what's going on with him? *looks at the runes. studying them still and picking up the book*

The runes are a binding spell instead of a banishment spell. He bound himself to his actions, quite literally, If he even so much as bumps into someone and they stub their toe, he'll feel that pain.... he literally can't hurt anyone, without hurting, or potentially killing, himself....

....fuck....

What in faerun is a Hospital??.... nevermind.. we need to help him.. i healed him once.. i can do it again.. *She said. leading the way back to her home* (edited)

*still floating him and walking alongside her*
