“No, this is something a little more personal.” He held out his hand, and a large magic circle appeared over his palm, more intricate and using more runes than any spell Shannon had ever seen. “This is the spell formula for my reincarnation ability. When I was in Sylphtoria, the spirits of nature gave me the ability to manifest it. My goal is to break the spell and end the cycle of rebirth, so that I may finally rest peacefully. I’ve been struggling to make any headway with it, but this technology is giving me a lot of help.”

“So you’d stop being reborn? Isn’t that the same as dying?”

“I’ve died countless times already, some of them under circumstances so strange and horrific that you’d have to be drunk to believe me. I want my next death to be my final one, to be free of the monotony of time and the highs and lows of living.”

Shannon clutched the poetry book to her chest. “That’s… that’s so sad. How can you talk like that?”

“Everything that has a beginning has an end. Haven’t you ever wanted to go to sleep just so that you wouldn’t have to think or feel anything? To fall into a long, dreamless slumber and just let the world move on without you instead of dragging you along like you’re on a leash? Believe me, I haven’t missed out on anything. I’ve experienced every pain and pleasure you can imagine, every accomplishment and tribulation. I have loved and been loved, I have mourned and been mourned. There is nothing left. We all write our own stories, but every story has an end. I’m ready to write the final chapter.”

Shannon reached out and gently clutched his hand, leaning her head against him. “I hope that chapter doesn’t come for a long, long time.”
