sixth rune; death; audio; dated to saturday morning.

[Koltira's voice is even more guttural than usual, thick with gravel and pain. The strange reverberation is more pronounced, too; it's as though some other spirit hisses in echo of each word he says.]

I ask you--for my sake--for yours--do not come near my lake right now. [he pauses, exhaling raggedly.] Best ... best, in fact, to avoid the area around it in a several mile radius. For several days, at least.

Please.

[another short, gasping breath, and he's done.]

[OOC edit: koltira is now in his blood frenzy. you are free to approach him, action-style, but please keep in mind that the content of such threads may be triggering. death knights are sadists, and their view of violence is inevitably sexualized. OK? OK <3]

There is nothing you can do. You, nor anyone else! I would not have issued the warning otherwise.

[He keeps stepping back as he speaks, even as his mind wills him forward, wills him to attack. The pain is overwhelming.]

[Thrall continues forward.]

This is not about being a martyr or victimizing you, Koltira.

I cannot allow you to run mad and wild. If I do not stop this here and now, someone will be hurt or even killed. For that reason... [He unhooks Doomhammer from his belt and assumes a ready position.] I am staying.

[deadelfwalking]

I am doing neither of those things! I am staying here, and I warned the others away. What more would you have me--

[ARGH. He pauses, clutching his head. Such pain. When the wave ebbs, he inhales sharply.]

What would you have me do.

[shamanism]

[He stops. As much as he hates to see Koltira in pain, he's acting like a damned idiot.]

I would have you get better, rather than hiding in the forest until it overcomes you completely. What were you planning?

[deadelfwalking]

To remain here, until ... until it passes.

[Not that he actually believes it will pass. But he has to try, right?]

[shamanism]

[Thrall remains unconvinced.]

You are being foolish, Koltira! You cannot master this without help. No one could.
