Chapter 1

Words: 1062

Summary: Prior being trapped under the spell of the Absolute, Kar'niss was just a normal drow, trying to survive the daily threats that the city of Menzoberranzan held. He thought himself lost until you found him, showing him that there is a beauty to life he thought impossible.

"Come on, Niss!", you exclaimed as you squeezed through a narrow crevice in the rock, "you're getting old and slow!"

Kar'niss rolled his eyes, visibly annoyed, as he handed you a bag and attempted to maneuver through the tight space.

"I'm only four years older than you, besides you're a tiny excuse of a drow", he playfully teased, a mischievous smirk forming on his lips as he tousled your long, flowing white hair.

In response, you stuck out your tongue and let out a joyful giggle. Placing a blanket on the ground after lighting up the small lantern, it's glowing white light illuminating the small space like it was dunked in a pale moonlight, you sat down and patted the spot next to you, inviting Kar'niss to join you.

He settled into the blanket beside you, taking a deep breath. These moments spent with you were a source of tranquility, a stark contrast to the daily, often dangerous, chaos of Menzoberranzan that he endured. Trustworthy individuals, those who didn't seek to betray for personal gain, were a rarity in his district of the city. That's why, after meeting you for the first time five years ago, he made it his mission to cherish you like the rare gem you were to him— a shining diamond amidst the toxic darkness that surrounded him.

You had shown him this very spot on the day you first met, noticing the sorrow in his eyes as he wandered the streets of your district, his lip bloodied from a deep cut, his body littered with bruises. Without asking any questions, you simply took his hand and guided him here. He willingly followed, regardless of whether it led to his demise or not. He never mentioned what occurred on that particular day and you refrained from asking. Instead, both of you embraced the fact that you had entered each other's lives and remained together, relishing the tranquil privacy of that small, unknown cave as often as possible. Kar'niss vividly recalled the day it all changed again, two years after your initial meeting, as if it were yesterday. You were both sitting in the same spot on the same blanket when he timidly confessed his deepening feelings for you. His love for you had blossomed long before, but the fear of jeopardising your special friendship had held him back for far too long. To his surprise, you simply smiled at him, your eyes, a radiant shade of light purple, filled with joy as you leaned in and gently pressed your soft lips against his in a tender kiss. No words were necessary to express your answer; instead, you conveyed your affection through this simple act. From that moment on, the two of you became even more inseparable and it felt like nothing could ever tear you apart again.

The pain he had experienced in his past had led him to find solace in your presence - of that, he was certain. He believed that Lolth had somehow tested him before and he must have proven himself worthy, hence why she had bestowed upon him the gift of having you in his life now. And today, one day before officially proving himself worthy in the eyes of his goddess, was the day Kar'niss had chosen to declare his commitment to you. His hands fumbled nervously with the small ring tucked away in his pocket as he gazed at you. You softly hummed a tune, resting your head on his shoulder, blissfully unaware of what he intended to ask you. His fingers traced the intricate patterns of the diamond-adorned ring, seven delicate star-shaped stones set amidst a web of slender silver strings. It had once belonged to his mother, the last memento he possessed from his family before she fell victim to an assassin sent by another matron, right after he had been sent away to the Tower. However, all of that was insignificant now as he prepared to give you the ring and ask you to be his.

Your humming ceased as you rose slowly and positioned yourself between Kar'niss' thighs. Your gentle fingers caressed his cheeks while you showered his face with tender kisses.

"What troubles your mind, my beloved?", you asked, your nose gently nudging his as a smile graced your lips, although your eyes revealed the concerns that consumed your thoughts.

Kar'niss immediately ceased fidgeting with the ring and reached up to hold your hand, gently squeezing them as his sorrowful gaze met yours.

"Don't worry love", you whispered, pecking his lips, "I know no one more devoted to our great goddess than you. If anyone is capable of passing her test, it is undoubtedly you. I have unwavering faith in your abilities."

He felt his heart crack, anguish coursing through his thoughts as he dwelled on the impending test of faith. It was undeniable that his devotion to the goddess was unwavering, yet he couldn't shake the fear that accompanied the test. The fear of what might be demanded of him, the fear that he might not possess the strength to vanquish his opponent, inevitably leading to the devastating loss of his one true love. Little did he know, you also harboured the same fear, dreading a life without him, terrified that the agony of his absence would shatter your very essence into countless fragments, impossible to piece back together. Your hearts were entwined, your destinies entangled like a delicate spiderweb, but despite the depth of your faith and love, everything felt so fragile in the face of potential failure as Lolth was many things but not forgiving.

Kar'niss tenderly pressed his lips against yours, initially with a hint of hesitation. However, as he heard your gentle moan, his kiss intensified, filled with a growing passion. He leaned back, enticing you to join him, pulling your body closer to his own. The upcoming test and its outcome seemed insignificant compared to the present moment. Even if he were to fail tomorrow, he was determined to fully surrender himself to you, exposing his soul and body in this final act of intimacy as he cherished every touch exchanged between your bodies and he eagerly accepted each moan of praise that you would grant him. And if fate allowed it, tomorrow he, a devoted champion of Lolth, would finally summon the courage to ask you to be his.

Notes: I already apologise for the tragedy and the heartbreak 😅

Flowers in the wind

Halsin x Drow Reader

Summary - sitting in a field filled with flowers and how you meet the poeple that you have made friends within months especially a druid

Masterlist

Words - 1091

A/n - no more writers block and its grate is all I have to say :) don't know if I should make more parts to this but I'll see.

⚠️Blood warning

─────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹─────────

You walk in an open field, the grass and flowers dancing in the wind, swaying back and forth as you pluck flowers near you of all colours, putting them into a woven basket that you hold in your hand.

Being a drow and living in the under dark did have its fall at times but it was your home, but one you will never go back to after being free of the darkness that it had held.

Oh, how lovely it was to feel the sun hitting your cold skin and the fresh air, looking down at your basket to see that you had enough flowers to make what you needed you look around looking for somewhere to sit as your eyes land on a big rock laying on the ground.

Walking over to it you take a sea, setting the basket next to you as you watch the clouds move in the blue sky as they fly by.

'You had been taken by the mind fayers unknown why or how you do not remember as much as you think you should but had escaped with a githyanki called Lae'zel and a half-elf called Shadowheart after getting to the control part of the ship, not remembering what had happened after that as well.

Expected falling and being caught by some sort of magic?, after that, the rest is a blur finding Shadowheart then Lae'zel, Astarion, Gale, wyll and Karlach as you became a party. When meeting Wyll you meet people in a druid's grove, a tiefling called Zevlor had asked you to find a druid called Halsin who had been captured by the goblins.

After finding him as a bear trapped and then working with him to kill the ones leading the goblins, after that, there was a tiefling party, and being you, you decide to take a chance at talking to the wood elf to know him better.

Over time you too got closer and closer but only as friends, you wish for more but you don't want to crush the friendship that you already have.'

Looking back down from the sky to look at the basket filled with a bunch of colourful and bright flowers as you pick one up and sniff it a little It gives off a fresh smell.

Deciding to make what you were planning to as you bring the flower down to where you can see it as you take some more from the basket and then start to weave the flowers together slowly making sure not to make any mistakes along the way as you carry on.

After a while, you finish making the flower crown, looking at its thick with different colours of flowers mixed with green as you lift it to your head realizing that it's a tad too big for your head, putting it into the basket now which only holds now a few flowers left.

Moving off the rock onto the soft grass and sitting down you think about what happened when 'you had decided to go and someone caused you to be stabbed in the leg, coming back to the camp it was late, but didn't want to wake anyone up at the time.

But Halsin was already there waiting for you as he was at the campfire, he had turned his head hearing your food steps as well as your limp that you had.

“Y/n you hurt, what did you do this time?” he asked you as he took a look at your leg seeing that your trousers had blood all over them. You look down at your leg and see it.

“I've had an encounter with someone and helped them some a man who was going to harm them in return I may have been stabbed,” you say to the elf.

“Come here and let me have a look at your wound,” he says as he pats the log next to him where he is sitting, walking over to where he is and taking a seat next to him.

“May I?” he asks as you nod your head as his hand covers your wound, feeling warmth as he does his work as the wound fixes itself.

“be careful with that wound as it can still tear open if you do too much moving,” he says to you as look back up at him.

“thank you Halsin,” you say with a smile looking at the hole in your trousers that you probably fix later on, feeling the elf looking at you.'

Your ears twitch as you hear footsteps coming towards you as you look up you see the druid as he comes over to you.

“I thought I would find you here Y/n” he says as he takes a seat next to you his warm eyes watching you as you fiddle with your hands.

“Halsin, how are you on this sunny day?” you ask him.

“am doing well Y/n, and what about you?” he asks in return.

“am doing good, I have a surprise for you though, close your eyes” you say to him as you grab the flower crown from your basket and lean over to him you where tall but not as tall as he was, moving on to your knees next to him as you place the flower crown onto his head his eyes still closed.

“you can open them now” you say as you move back sitting back where you were before he opens his eyes his eyes moving you to see what you had put on his head as he looks back at you.

“May I ask what it is?” he asks curiously as he watches your smile making him smile a little.

“It's a simple flower crown, you can take it off if you don't like it,” you say as he takes the crown off and takes a look at it his smile grows and he puts it back onto his head.

“no, no I think I shall keep it on for a while, it's Beautifully made,” he says with his warm eyes meeting yours.

“Thank you, am about to head back to the camp would you like to come back with me?” you ask as Halsin stands up and holds his hand out for you.

“Yes I came here to make sure you did not get into any trouble while you were by yourself again” he says as you take his hand and he helps you up.

As the both of you start walking off to camp talking along the way.

Words: 2664

Notes: this story has have two different endings, depending on which Kar'niss you prefer, this is the one for the drider lovers ;)

In any case I think you all for tagging along on Kar'niss' journey during this series and I apologies already if it gets a bit hectic in this last chapter, I was too impatient and wanted to get that ending ready xD

Chapter 7 - Drider ending

The moon hung low in the sky, being visible for the first time in years as the shadowcurse slowly released its hold on the lands, as Halsin carefully explained the procedure of an ancient ritual he came across during his travels to Kar'niss. The drider listened intently, his heart pounding with a mixture of fear, hope and doubt. The proposal Halsin presented was both promising and daunting - a chance to finally break free from the curse placed upon him by Lolth.

The ritual would not be easy but demand pain, time and sacrifice. Kar'niss would be bound to the surface for the rest of his life, forsaking his freedom for the possibility of regaining his drow form. And the path to transformation required even more than that. He would need to pledge his allegiance to yet another god, more precisely the daughter of Lolth, Eilistraee. The drider flinched at the mention of her name, he knew she was the opposite of her mother and yet, the painful memories of his transformation still lingered dangerously in his broken mind. Different thoughts swirled chaotically in Kar'niss' mind as he weighed the risks and rewards. Would he be condemned to a life of servitude once more, his worship leading him down another treacherous path? Or could he finally find redemption, love and a place where he truly belonged, together with his beloved?

His eyes flickered with determination as he gazed at Halsin. The druid understood the turmoil within the drider, for he too had faced similar choices in his past that lead down a dangerously destructive path. He gave the drider a reassuring nod, tapping his shoulder as he walked away, giving Kar'niss all the time he needed to make his choice.

Your heart weighed heavy as you left Moonrise Towers, heading towards Baldur's Gate without Kar'niss. You weren't sure why he decided to stay behind and travel with Halsin but you trusted the druid enough to keep your beloved safe until you had rid Faerûn of the Absolute's hold. You were to meet both again at the grove and so, with your mind reaching out one last time to Kar'niss', vowing to return safely and proclaiming your undying love, you ventured forth, leaving the shadow-cursed lands and your beloved behind.

Kar'niss entered the forest alone, Halsin setting up camp at the outskirts as only the ones in need of help may enter this place. As he hesitantly ventured further into the forest, Kar'niss couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. His eyes frantically darted from one shadow to the other, his senses heightened with every step. The dense foliage closed in around him, making it difficult to navigate through the twisted maze of trees. Thorned hedges blocked his path, forcing him to squeeze through narrow gaps, while branches covered in leaves blocked out the sunlight, casting an eerie gloom over the forest. The air grew heavy and Kar'niss could feel a sense of ancient power lingering in the air. It was both exhilarating and terrifying. Doubts and fears flooded his mind but he pushed them aside, focusing on his goal to break the curse that had befallen him, he had to, for you, so he pressed on, his determination unwavering. He heard strange noises and whispers in the wind, as if something was guiding him deeper into the heart of the forest. And then, in the midst of the darkness, Kar'niss saw a flicker of light. It was unlike anything he had ever seen before. Intrigued, he quickened his pace, following the faint glow through the winding maze of trees.

As he emerged into a clearing, his eyes widened in awe. Before him stood a majestic drow in the middle of the pond, gracefully floating above the water surface. She was not just a myth or a lesser spirit, he instantly knew that she was the goddess with the power to grant him the healing he sought so desperately.

"Eilistraee", Kar'niss whispered as he bowed before her.

A soft breeze whispered through the clearing and as he glanced upward, she stood before him, her finger gently pressing against his lips to hush him. In that moment, he felt the warmth of her divine presence reaching out to him, touching the depths of his being. With a trembling hand, Kar'niss reached deep into his heart, pulling out the memories of you, the one and only person he truly cared for and for whom he had defied already two gods. He poured his love and hope into those memories, offering them up as proof of his commitment. And as the memories dissipated into the air, the goddess' eyes were filled with a glowing soft beauty and a gentle smile played upon her lips, her finger leaving his mouth and pointing towards the small pond. His legs moved on their own accord, carrying him to the water, stopping only when just his head remained above the surface. Despite feeling cold, the water radiated a warm energy that seeped into his very being, chasing away the darkness in his mind. In that moment, Kar'niss felt the weight of the curse lift from his soul, replaced by a renewed sense of clarity. His mind still felt fractured but the incessant ramblings of the voice in his head ceased and the overwhelming sea of shame that threatened to engulf him gradually subsided. His drider body felt different, it felt...normal...like it was just another body, now devoid of the sharp, agonizing pain caused by the curse.

Kar'niss took a deep breath, closing his eyes for a second, enjoying the calm and quiet, despite his body still being the one of a drider, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing at Halsin's little makeshift camp.

"Welcome back", the druid smiled at him, "let's rest the night and head back to the grove at sunrise."

You didn't care about your triumph over the Absolute and you cared even less for the celebrations after as you swiftly packed your stuff and almost ran towards the city gates. Your steps halted when a hand gently rested on your shoulder and and the sound of a familiar chuckle, one that had warmed your heart throughout your journey, reached your ears.

"Eager to reunite with your beloved?", Gale asked, "You know, there's an exceptionally talented and, if I do say so myself, remarkably attractive wizard who could assist you in returning even faster. It's not wise to wander alone all the way."

You pulled Gale in a tight hug, tears welling up in the corners of your eyes as you chuckled. Amidst all the misery you had to endure, you felt truly blessed that fate had brought this wizard into your chaotic life. The kind friendship that formed between the two of you was more than precious and you truly hoped that this wouldn't be the last time you saw him.

"Promise me you'll come visit", you pleaded.

Gale nodded, mumbling an incantation and watched with teary eyes as you stepped through the portal.

Kar'niss let out a anxious sigh, his hands automatically reaching for the small vial that now dangled on a delicate silver chain around his neck. It was Eilistraee's parting gift to him before she sent him back to Halsin. As he touched the smooth glass, a sense of familiarity washed over him, accompanied by a faint sparkle of sky blue liquid under the warm glow of the setting sun. The words spoken by the goddess echoed in his mind, creating a comforting haze that eased him away from the lingering effects of Lolth's curse. As he stood at the small cliff next to the grove, he couldn't help but wonder how you would react upon your return, finding not a drider but the drow whom you had once loved. The smile forming on his lips quickly faded as apprehension replaced it, fearing the possibility that you might not come back at all. You were bound to fight the Absolute and her vile cult. What if you wouldn't survive this? What if you had survived and determined that, now that you were the saviour of Faerûn, you no longer needed a broken creature like him? It caused him pain, but could he really hold it against you for choosing someone else over him? Perhaps the wizard, judging by the way he looked at you, Kar'niss was almost certain he would attempt to steal you away from him. Maybe this could change if he'd finally become his old self again?

"Kar'niss", he heard your voice call out.

Fear engulfed his body as he dreaded the return of madness and voices. He hastily tore open the vial, his chest rising and falling rapidly as his trembling hands brought the small bottle to his lips. He couldn't allow this to happen again, he had to complete the ritual. He wouldn't be able to endure descending into pain and madness once more.

"Kar'niss, there you are!", you beamed as you sprinted towards the drider.

NOTE:

below is my drider ending for the story, if you prefer drows, you should click here and not read below ;)

He turned around in surprise, causing the vial to slip from his grasp and shatter into countless fragments on the ground. His seven eyes widened in shock as his body sank to the earth, desperately attempting to salvage the remaining liquid by frantically licking his fingers, hoping to obtain at least a few drops of the supposed healing potion.

"You came back?", he sobbed, "I'm sorry I messed up, I'm still a monster, I can never...I can never..."

"Silly Niss", you sighed, hugging him tightly, "of course I came back and I told you I don't care how you look now."

Stepping back slightly, you raised your hand, making sure he noticed the ring adorning your finger. His eyes welled up with emotion as his hand reached for yours, gently rotating the ring with his fingertips.

"I told you my answer is yes", you said softly, pressing a tender kiss to his lips, "and now that the Absolute is gone, I will remain by your side so that we can finally build a life together."

"But I'm a monster", he averted his gaze, his voice filled with doubt, "we can never venture elsewhere and I fear I cannot provide you with what you desire."

"Kar'niss, all I desire is you", your words were filled with a deep love and unwavering devotion as you cradled his head gently in your hands, "I never stopped loving you and I never will."

The touch of your skin against his was a sensation he had longed for, as your arms wrapped around him, pulling him close in a warm and tight embrace. Your face nestled against the side of his neck, leaving a trail of soft kisses in its wake. Kar'niss let out a contented sigh, savouring the newfound sensations that had awakened within him since he bathed in that enchanted pond. Even the slightest touch to his chitinous parts now sent waves of pure bliss coursing through his entire being.

A deep rumble emanated from his chest as your trail of kisses descended. Your hands found his pedipalps, gently caressing them and although it felt pleasant, the sensation was markedly different from before, less intense. However, something new stirred within him this time, something that hadn't been present during since he was turned into a drider. Awkwardly, he lifted himself up, feeling a long-forgotten tingling heat spreading through his lower regions. When he glanced down, he noticed a long hard skin coloured member nestled between two plates, just above the point where his drow and spider forms merged. Your eyes were already fixed on his newfound body part and before he could utter a word, your lips enveloped his firm length, sucking on it eagerly. Kar'niss let out an almost primal growl, his legs nearly giving way as waves of lust washed over him. This sensation surpassed anything he had ever experienced before, surpassing even the pleasures he enjoyed with you, whether as a drow or as a drider. Your gaze shifted up to his face, observing how your beloved unravelled under your touch. Your tongue swirled around the tip and you hummed in satisfaction as you witnessed his mouth hanging open, eyes closed, hips instinctively thrusting to feel more of you. It didn't take much time for him to be overwhelmed by pleasure, pushing him to the brink and soon your mouth was filled with his warm seed, a sickly sweet flavour tingling your taste buds.

Kar'niss', now clawless, fingers curled around your neck, his other hand supporting your lower back as he gently laid you down on the ground and swiftly removed your clothes.

"Niss please", you moaned, a gentle breeze brushing against your skin, causing shivers to run down your spine. A blush spread across your cheeks as you drew him closer, your lips colliding in a passionate kiss. He pulled away, slightly panting, his tongue gliding over his lips, his eyes greedily fixed on your delicate naked figure. It almost felt like your first time together after your reunion at Moonrise Towers, nervousness cursing through you, just as much as the anticipation of having him without all that broken madness. Your eyes closed in delight as soon as you felt two fingers teasingly graze your entrance, while his tender lips pressed against your sensitive nub.

"I remember your taste, my tiny goddess of flesh", he mumbled against your wetness before delicately sucking and licking your clit.

Your hips instinctively bucked, the sinful sounds of your moans blending with the rhythmic crashing of the waves below as Kar'niss' tongue skilfully danced between your wet folds, his fingers pumping into you at a lazy pace. The sensation was softer, his slender digits caressing you with tender care, curling slightly to find the right spot while his tongue pleasured you in the most intoxicating ways. Kar'niss' heart overflowed with warmth; he would never be a drow again, yet here you both were, completely vulnerable and consumed by each other. You fell apart for him, still loving him unconditionally. It was never about his appearance for you; what truly mattered was that every trace of Lolth's curse had vanished from his mind. This allowed him to once again experience the warmth of your touch with his own body and soul, an unbreakable connection. Your climax approached rapidly, however you didn't want to cum just yet, not like this, you needed all of him inside you, so you grasped his head and guided him to move up.

Kar'niss immediately understood your desire and lifted you effortlessly, drawing you closer as he stood tall. His hands secured your position as his hard cock glided into you and you both moaned in pleasure. He thrust into you at a merciless, chasing both of you towards the edge as neither of you had the patience to go slow. In that moment, time seemed to rewind, transporting you back to that small sanctuary in the Underdark, bodies and souls dancing in perfect harmony through the planes of your desires as the pleasure of your sweet release embraced both of you simultaneously. Kar'niss almost melodically uttered your name before gently lowering you to the ground, his breath heavy and erratic. Your hand instinctively sought out his head, tenderly running your fingers through his white hair, silently inviting him to recline beside you. The drider curled up, enfolding his arms around your waist, pulling you tightly against his body. It almost looked strange as his towering spider-like form laid on its side, eight legs encasing yours, while his upper drow body clung affectionately to you, his head serenely resting upon yours.

"What's on your mind, my beloved?", you whispered softly.

"We are finally here together. I'm...I'm worthy and we'll have our future."

The grin that tugged at the edges of your mouth was irresistible and Kar'niss couldn't contain their own joy either. Your arduous journey, though it began with sorrow, had reached its end....a rather happy end....

With a trembling hand, Kar'niss reached deep into his heart, pulling out the memories of you, the one and only person he truly cared for and for whom he had defied already two gods. He poured his love and hope into those memories, offering them up as proof of his commitment. And as the memories dissipated into the air, the goddess' eyes were filled with a glowing soft beauty and a gentle smile played upon her lips, her finger leaving his mouth and pointing towards the small pond. His legs moved on their own accord, carrying him to the water, stopping only when just his head remained above the surface. Despite feeling cold, the water radiated a warm energy that seeped into his very being, chasing away the darkness in his mind. In that moment, Kar'niss felt the weight of the curse lift from his soul, replaced by a renewed sense of clarity. His mind still felt fractured but the incessant ramblings of the voice in his head ceased and the overwhelming sea of shame that threatened to engulf him gradually subsided. His drider body felt different, it felt...normal...like it was just another body, now devoid of the sharp, agonizing pain caused by the curse.

Kar'niss took a deep breath, closing his eyes for a second, enjoying the calm and quiet, despite his body still being the one of a drider, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing at Halsin's little makeshift camp.

"Welcome back", the druid smiled at him, "let's rest the night and head back to the grove at sunrise."

You didn't care about your triumph over the Absolute and you cared even less for the celebrations after as you swiftly packed your stuff and almost ran towards the city gates. Your steps halted when a hand gently rested on your shoulder and and the sound of a familiar chuckle, one that had warmed your heart throughout your journey, reached your ears.

"Eager to reunite with your beloved?", Gale asked, "You know, there's an exceptionally talented and, if I do say so myself, remarkably attractive wizard who could assist you in returning even faster. It's not wise to wander alone all the way."

You pulled Gale in a tight hug, tears welling up in the corners of your eyes as you chuckled. Amidst all the misery you had to endure, you felt truly blessed that fate had brought this wizard into your chaotic life. The kind friendship that formed between the two of you was more than precious and you truly hoped that this wouldn't be the last time you saw him.

"Promise me you'll come visit", you pleaded.

Gale nodded, mumbling an incantation and watched with teary eyes as you stepped through the portal.

Kar'niss let out a anxious sigh, his hands automatically reaching for the small vial that now dangled on a delicate silver chain around his neck. It was Eilistraee's parting gift to him before she sent him back to Halsin. As he touched the smooth glass, a sense of familiarity washed over him, accompanied by a faint sparkle of sky blue liquid under the warm glow of the setting sun. The words spoken by the goddess echoed in his mind, creating a comforting haze that eased him away from the lingering effects of Lolth's curse. As he stood at the small cliff next to the grove, he couldn't help but wonder how you would react upon your return, finding not a drider but the drow whom you had once loved. The smile forming on his lips quickly faded as apprehension replaced it, fearing the possibility that you might not come back at all. You were bound to fight the Absolute and her vile cult. What if you wouldn't survive this? What if you had survived and determined that, now that you were the saviour of Faerûn, you no longer needed a broken creature like him? It caused him pain, but could he really hold it against you for choosing someone else over him? Perhaps the wizard, judging by the way he looked at you, Kar'niss was almost certain he would attempt to steal you away from him. Maybe this could change if he'd finally become his old self again?

"Kar'niss", he heard your voice call out.

Fear engulfed his body as he dreaded the return of madness and voices. He hastily tore open the vial, his chest rising and falling rapidly as his trembling hands brought the small bottle to his lips. He couldn't allow this to happen again, he had to complete the ritual. He wouldn't be able to endure descending into pain and madness once more.

"Kar'niss, there you are!", you beamed as you sprinted towards the drider.

NOTE:

below is my canon ending for the story, if you prefer driders, you should click here and not read below ;)

He turned around, swallowing the last drops of the liquid and focused his seven eyes on your delicate form. If his mind wasn't deceiving him once again, you were truly rushing towards him. He felt the softness of your skin as your arms encircled his lower body, pulling him into a tight embrace.

"You came back?", he sobbed.

"Silly Niss", you chuckled, giving him a playful slap, "of course I came back."

He longed to bend down, hold you tightly, and never let go, whispering all the sweet words his mind could conjure, but something felt wrong as his body refused to obey his commands. His lips parted but no sound escaped. Instead, black goo oozed from his mouth and chitinous parts and his vision through his spider eyes darkened. His eight legs trembled, causing him to stumble backwards, tripping over the edge of the cliff and plummeting towards the water. Frantic bubbling noises erupted from his throat as he witnessed your terrified visage emerge from above, lips moving as if uttering a scream, yet no sound reached his ears as he hit the surface. The icy dampness of the water stung against his sudden hypersensitive skin, his consciousness waning as his form vanished into the depths, leaving behind only an inky cloud.

It felt like an eternity had passed before your body reacted, leaping into the water, plunging deep in a desperate endeavour to save Kar'niss. You delved further until the darkness surrounding you dissipated, but instead of finding your drider, your eyes beheld the figure of a pallid drow. Without hesitation, you seized him and struggled back to the surface, your lungs burning from the absence of air. As soon as you emerged from the water's embrace, you gasped for breath and swam toward the shore. Dragging the drow onto the sand, you readied yourself to once again submerge into the sea in search of Kar'niss when you finally noticed his face. He bore an uncanny resemblance to the person you held dear, but the once five spider-like eyes, were now only pale marks. Your gaze wandered over his exposed form as you knelt beside him. His shoulders and arms were adorned with the same tissue of scars, the familiar scar on his lips painting a faint smile on your lips. Another scar encircled his midsection but instead of merging into a spider body, it blending seamlessly into the normal lower body of a drow. A flush coloured your cheeks as your eyes lingered a little too long on his length, recalling the last time you shared such intimacy before your beloved fell under a curse. The drow before you was Kar'niss, his body marred by scars and his once dark grey skin now an alabaster white, yet there was no doubt that it was him. You gently brushed aside a strand of hair from his face, your hand retreating as he stirred awake, slowly opening his eyes to meet yours - those beautiful drider eyes with black orbs and brown irises remaining unchanged. He winced, softly uttering your name as his hand extended to brush against your face. His eyes widened in astonishment upon feeling the tenderness of your skin, his fingertips gently tracing along your cheek, caressing you with a newfound confidence, liberated from the torment of an eternal curse.

"Niss", you cried, tears streaming down your face, your hands clasping his to keep them in place as you leaned into his touch.

Kar'niss pulled you closer, his lips lightly brushing against yours in a timid kiss. The sensation threatened to consume him, not accustomed anymore to such sensitivity in his skin. He let out a soft moan, embracing you tightly, drawing your body flat onto his own, oblivious to his surroundings. The blissful contact of skin against skin engulfed his senses, overwhelming yet still not enough. In that moment, Kar'niss cared little for who might witness your reunion or where you were. His mind was his own again, his body restored to its rightful state and he didn't care for any new scars. All that mattered was that every trace of Lolth's curse had vanished, allowing him to once again feel the warmth of your touch with his very own body and soul.

"Niss", you moaned, "we shouldn't do this here."

A gasp escaped your lips as Kar'niss' hands squeezed your butt, pressing your hips further down on his hard member.

"I-I-I don't care, I need this now, I need you", he breathed.

He held you tight, rolling to the side before shuffling between your legs. His hands fumbled eagerly at your pants, desperate to get rid of the last layers of fabric that kept him from worshipping every inch of your naked beauty.

You couldn't help but smile as you observed his brows knit together, his eager expression transforming into bewilderment as he struggled to comprehend why it suddenly seemed so challenging to rip those garments from your form. Your hands gently pushed his away, sliding your pants down and lifting the tunic over your head, leaving you completely exposed before your beloved. It almost felt like your first time together, nervousness cursing through you, just as much as the anticipation of having buried deep inside you again. Your eyes closed in delight as soon as you felt two fingers teasingly graze your entrance, while his tender lips pressed against your sensitive nub.

"I remember your taste, my tiny goddess of flesh", he mumbled against your wetness before delicately sucking and licking your clit.

Your hips instinctively bucked, the sinful sounds of your moans blending with the rhythmic crashing of the waves as Kar'niss' tongue skillfully danced between your wet folds, his fingers pumping into you at a lazy pace. This time, no protective spell dimished the sensation of his slender fingers curling up inside you, rubbing the right spot and his tongue pleasured you in ways you had never experienced with him before, not even back then at Moonrise Towers. However you didn't want to cum just yet, not like this, you needed all of him inside you, so you grasped his head and guided him to move up. Kar'niss immediately understood your desire and almost jumped on top of you, his hard cock gliding into you and you both moan in pleasure. He thrusted into you at a merciless, chasing both of you towards the edge as neither of you had the patience to go slow. In that moment, time seemed to rewind, transporting you back to that small sanctuary in the Underdark, bodies and souls dancing in perfect harmony through the planes of your desires as the pleasure of your sweet release embraced both of you simultaneously. Kar'niss almost ang your name before he collapsed on you, his breath ragged. Your hand found its way to his head, your fingers brushing softly through his hair, gently pushing him off you with a chuckle.

"What's on your mind, my love?", he whispered softly.

"We are finally here together. Our future begins now."

You couldn't hold back the smile that itched at the corners of your lips and neither could Kar'niss. Your journey, as heartbreaking as it may have started, was finally at an end....a rather happy end....

The Worng Deal

Halsin x warlock drow reader

Summary - it's been a while the last time you had seen the druid and happens when you cross paths again?

Masterlist

Words - 1880

Warrings - a lotta Angst??

A/n - well uhh it's been awhile I was but its done I guess I haven't read over it so there's mistakes here and there, but I enjoyed making this one

─────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹─────────

Your eyes scan the shadowlands looking for anything useful while you're here on a quest that you stupidly got into, you follow a path your ears twitching hearing whispers in the misty air, it's been a long time since you were last somewhere that was green and living, unlike the underground there were living stuff there but now where you are you only feel so much as even more lost then you were before you made that pack with that devil.

But the more you keep walking the louder the voices get, surprisingly deciding to go towards them, they were not the whispers of the fog that is very much everywhere you go draining you. Hearing the sound of cries and weapons being used.

Your eyes find a pair of golden ones once the fog has cleared a little bit. Oh, you have not seen those eyes for decades, still the same maybe a little duller but yet still able to hold that light in them. Freezing as you remember the first time you had met the druid.

As you travel the upper lands, feeling the sun on your senses and skin after being underground for your whole life, eyes land on a patch of flowers all sorts of colours spread out ranging from reds to blues. But your eyes land on something that seems like you should not go near.

Flashback

Watching the bear sleep, staying a safe distance away before Turing to the river that was very close to where you were, seeing a fish as an idea pops into your head, you grab your long spear from your back as you walk into the water, getting ready to catch one of the fish.

After a lot of tries, you have finely caught one brings a great smile to your face as you watch as the fish stops moving, Turning around quietly and hearing a voice speak from behind you.

“You know that hunting, when a bear is around is dangerous” an elf says with amusement as he watches your eyes widen as you sheepishly smile towards him the spear still in hand with a fish on it.

“I.. it for was for the bear,” you say with a little stammer, looking to see if the bear is still there, not seeing where it is as the elf watches you.

“Do you by any chance know where the bear has gone?” you asked confused as you had not heard it leave while you had been trying to catch the fish. Hearing him let out a chuckle your eyes falling back onto him confused.

“I am Halsin a druid, I was the bear, very thoughtful about the fish I much say, but you should keep it for yourself you look like you need it more than I do,” he says to you the smile still on his face as he gets closer to you holding out his hand for a handshake as you take his warm hand with your cold ones.

“Ah thank you, Am Y/n it's nice to meet you Halsin the bear,” you say with a little smirk pulling up at the corner of your lips. As you get a better look at him, a young elf is probably around the same age as you. His eyes were a golden yellow and very bright.

“Never see drows up here, must have been a long journey?” he asks you with a tilt of his head.

“Yes quite the journey, it has been,” you say back to him.

“You must be tired, are you not?” he asks you as you nod your head at him.

“Yes I am, but I have far to travel,” you say to him as he looks at you.

“How about you stay at Emerald Grove to rest before you carry on?” he says to you as you reply to him

Back to the present

Knowing that you had stayed there longer than you had meant to by more than a couple days more by years and years until you had to leave. Seeing as the people he was with needed help.

Casting a fire spell towards a shadow as it's about to swipe towards the young half-elf with black hair, she turns to look at you in surprise. As you carry on casting spells at it until it's gone after a while the last lot of shadows have been defeated, you turn to walk off but before you get the chance to you feel a hand land on your shoulder.

Turing your head to look at who it is, as it seems it is the leader of the group, Turing around as they start to speak to you.

“Thank you for your help, how would you like to join our group, I would say it's not safe to be alone in the shadowlands” they say with a smile as open up their party to invite you, your eyes widen as their kindness.

“I couldn't possibly accept that, dear. You seem to look like you already have plenty on your plate” You stay to them as your eyes dot across each member of the group.

“nonsense, am sure that having another pair of hands would be most helpful” you hear Halsin say from behind the leader as he walks up to stand next to them, looking towards him.

“Well, I can't refuse that then can I” you say with a nervous laugh as you swallow some air. He knows who you are he remembers you.

Flashback

“Halsin, I've got to tell you something..” you say you did not want to ruin the mood but you had to tell him one way or another, letting out a sigh. As he turns to look at you his smile Turns into a frown.

“what is wrong, my love?” you feel the tears threatening to pore down your face as you take a deep breath in.

“Oh Halsin, you know that I love you very much,” you say trying to smile at him as you hug him as he gives you a quick squeeze back.

“is that what you wanted to say?” he asks as you nod your head, that's not what you wanted to say you coward as you look at him closely.

“Shall we head to bed then?” you ask as the sky has turned dark.

“yes, we should, love,” he says with a warm smile which you do not deserve, you should tell him why won't you? You much, but it hurts. But it's already too late as you both get to the shared bed as he puts his hand over you.

Still wind awake as you watch him rest, you know that you have a short time before he gets up, gently as you would you move his arm getting out of the bed and turning to look at him again as you lean in giving his forehead a small kiss moving back to look at his features close up for maybe the last time.

Moving back as you take a seat at his desk see some paper spread out with his written as you put it back in order and take a piece with nothing on it, grabbing a feather and dip it into the brownish ink as you write a letter.

Dear Halsin

I will not be here when you wake, I will be long gone so do not find me.

I'll miss you as I know you will miss me too, but I want you to move on with your life, don't stop because of me.

Goodbye, Halsin the bear.

Love Y/n

Your tears had stained the paper as you tried to rub it off you ended up smudging the ink a little on your name, deciding just to leave it as it is putting it back onto the table. Putting a hand up to a necklace that you've had when you were in the underground as you take it off and on top of the paper

Back to the present

As you lag staying at the back of the group as you follow them, the young half-elf slows down to walk with you.

“Thank you, for saving me. I would like a name” she says her voice kind.

“It's Y/n, and yours?” you ask as you move your eyes to the side to look at her, she's shorter than you but you're shorter than Halsin is.

“I am Shadowheart, it's nice to meet you, people we come across are not as willing to help as you were,” she says to you, noticing as she takes a good look at you. Knowing that she must not see drow a lot.

“It's no problem,” you say to her as the group comes to a stop at a camp filled with more people, seeing Tav head towards you learning that their name was Tav when they said to you that they wanted you in their party.

“Y/n we will take a break here and then carry on what we are doing in the morning” They say to you as you reply to them with a nod.

Your eyes fall to a fire with a log calling your name to take a seat to rest on, moving towards it, and taking the seat as you warm up. Sitting there for around 30 minutes as you feel your eyes about to close, when was the last time you took a rest? You couldn't remember.

“I didn't know you could cast spells,” you hear from behind you, now wide awake again guess you'll need to wait another time.

“Well, I can now” you say staying where you are looking forward you didn't want to look at him yet. As you hear him shuffle behind you.

“I see that you also no longer carry your spear with you,” he says as you flinch a little, it had been stolen when you fell into a trap, and the man that made the trap did not like drows very much and taken most of your stuff, and being stuck there for a bit...

“I... I missed placing it somewhere, and didn't have the time to find it,” you say to him, hearing as he takes a seat next to you as you carry on looking at the flames that dance in the fire.

“Y/n, am not angry at you, not any more, you left without a word but you did so on a piece of paper, i read that over and over, again and again I tried to understand, I looked for you, I did but then I stopped. You left for a reason, and I always had a part of you with me.” you hear him say as you finely look over at him as he holds out the necklace that you have given him. His face has a scar now on it but still the halsin you know.

“Halsin, I may not be the same drow that you met long ago, making a deal with the devil can change you for the worse or the better, it seems that I change for the worst,” you say as you move your hand over to his as you close his fingers back around the necklace, he wanted to give back.

Should there be a Part 2?
