In all the years he's spent protecting one Willow-Chosen to another, Thorne has never felt anything for them the way he feels for you.

Beyond duty, beyond what his station permits.

No one is telling him that it's wrong to love you, in fact, most of them are waiting for it to happen, but he fears that if he were to openly love, it would mean being selfish.

Because a Roseguard's duty is to not only defend but that one day, if they were to go, it would be to die in your name.

But if Thorne loves you openly then he fears he wouldn't want to die for you.

He'd want to live for you.

And that is something he cannot selfishly want.

BLUEM'S NOTES:

I'm sorry for the very long scenario in Intro 5 but also not sorry?

I got the courage to write up a whole novel-like fic because Melly does that with some of her bots. It was honestly to try and test things out because I love writing and, well, it's such an angsty scene so I thought it would only make sense to write something good for it haha.

As stated, it's canon that Thorne doesn't make it but you can go whatever route you'd like for now.^^

When I write the others, however, Thorne's death becomes an important part of the narrative, hence it's canon.

You might be able to get through it without reading the Lorebook but I hiiiighly recommend reading at least "Viridelle World" in order to understand things better.

This is a lore-rich series so understanding the world and how it works is imperative. I would put it in the Character Definitions but that would take up way too much tokens.

Also, this was inspired by the animation movie Epic!

I love love love this movie so much. If you've watched it, then I'd say you'll definitely understand Viridelle a lot better than most. If you haven't watched it, I hiiiiighly recommend it — not because it'll help you understand this world better, which it might, but because it's just a really good movie.

You're missing out by not knowing what it is.

Some aspects of Avatar was taken into inspiration as well.^^
