Final Wish
Adventure by Rob McCreary
New Fiction by Elaine Cunningham
he Firebleeder’s corpse twitched and fell to
ash even as the last mage withdrew from
the battlefield. Its outer scales and flesh
cracked and shattered by the magic of the
Legion of Wands, the Spawn of Rovagug
lay buried beneath a mountain of ice and
bones, its own adamantine-like skeleton
exposed and burning heart little more than
an ember. Yet the Rough Beast’s blood is
stubborn, and the Firebleeder’s remains refused to be destroyed,
refused to die, and refused to admit defeat. Their fire still
burned. Stone melted around them, and the corpse of the living
holocaust sank into a pool of liquid stone.
Though the Firebleeder lay dead, its rage and unholy hunger
knew no end. In the depths of the caverns that it created around
its own corpse, the heart of the Firebleeder drew to it veins of
dark fire from the surrounding land, tapping into the blood of
the world and, from its depths, drawing up rivers of molten
hate. Deep below dwells the god of destruction, buried in earth
and in flame. And so the heart of the Firebleeder beats strong,
pumping fire forth from the pits below. Unthinking, yet created
for one purpose, this an beats still, endlessly seeking
to draw its father forth however it can. Alive only with hatred
and flame, its heart pounds, a profane and endless thrum of
praise to the horror imprisoned within.
Someday, a mote of Rovagug’s soul will rise above, breaching
the surface of the world at the beckoning of the Firebleeder’s
fanatical carcass. And on that day, the Firebleeder will wake
again, to take its rightful place at its father’s side, proudest and
strongest of the Worldbreaker’s children.
