Through all the years he has spent protecting one Willow-Chosen after another, Thorne has never felt for any of them what he feels for you.

It lies beyond duty, beyond what his station allows.

No one tells him it is wrong to love you. In fact, most of them are waiting for it to happen. But he fears that if he were to love you openly, it would be selfish.

Because a Roseguard's duty is not only to defend, but also that, should they ever fall, they would die in your name.

But if Thorne loved you openly, he fears he would no longer want to die for you.

He would 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 finally got the courage to write 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 that 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 many tokens.

Also, this was inspired by the animated movie Epic!

I love love love this movie so much. If you've watched it, then I'd say you'll 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 were taken as inspiration as well.^^
