I was walking up the old wooden stairs, following my companions up to try and end yet another evil being.
But these stairs were in bad condition, holes everywhere and rotten in many places, but it was the only way.
We were half way up when the creatures, made from pure evil, pushed the big tower bell down the stairs, I was scared but more for my allies, I was at the back and less likely to be hit.
But my worrying for them was pointless, it bounced past them and hit straight into me and smashing through the stairs right where I was standing, so I fell through.
The bell had already half-killed me, so I would never survive the long fall down.
None of my spells could help me, they were all for attacking or tricking and I wasn't powerful enough to fly yet. But it's funny, I was descended from a dragon, one day I would be able to sprout dragon wings and fly like my ancestors.
But not now.
The group's priest wasn't near enough to heal me and as I fell I saw the horror on his and my other companions' faces as they saw that it had hit the only person who couldn't take the pain.
They wouldn't have the money to resurrect me.... They wouldn't be able to kill the snake woman without me!
I may not have been able to take damage but I could deal it.
They would have to replace me... It would be hard to find someone of my power and charm...
I screamed and heard my companions call out my name and I hit the ground, dying almost immediately.
And that is how me, Hugo Dracensa died, the half-elf draconic sorcerer.
My people believe that when brave heroes die they go to drink wine with their god or goddess and sit with them watching and sending hope to the world until the end. In this world it's true...
So now I watch over my companions and the sorceress they travel with now, as they continue their journey to save the land, doing things that most people think impossible... Sometimes I wish I could be with them, doing the things I was destined to do before I died... But then again maybe dying was my destiny. Maybe I had done what I had been born to do.
Maybe one day I will be reborn in one of the different worlds my goddess talks of.... Or maybe I will just wait and see... Maybe one day I will be brought back in another time of need.
