Summary

“I’m alright, see? Forget that ever happened. What matters now is that I’m here, I’m alright, and I’m not going to leave you again like I did before.” Albedo’s gaze bore into hers, and she jumped with another giggle.
“Promise?” Klee held out her pinkie finger.
“I promise” He agreed truthfully, holding her finger in his.

The claws of Durin’s corruption are finally taking ahold of Albedo, and he is left with no other choice but to resort to desperate measures in order to slow it’s progression over his mind and body. His experiment’s results don’t go as he planned, causing him to wind up missing for over half a year, and when he is found he is almost unrecognisable.

Summary
——————
Albedo heard a sound; just as faint as the ache in his body. He felt a weight on him too, but it didn’t bother him; the weight itself wasn’t hurting him. Perhaps a curious bird had just landed on his chest.
He focused his ears to hear the bird’s song. It was strange; there was no rhythm to it, and it sounded like it was trying to speak. Or, no, it wasn’t a bird’s song.
The more Albedo focused, the more he realised it was a human voice, talking; saying his name. As he began to recognise the voice more and more, so too did the pain increase tenfold and then again. What he first mistook as a dull ache was in reality a paralysing pain, making Albedo’s body stiffen. The voice he thought was a soft birdsong was actually a panicked yell.
——————
Albedo is forced to accept the fate laid out for him centuries ago — to break ties with everyone he loves for the sake of his festering corruption.
