Summary
We all know Astarion died about two hundred years ago.
But what if he didn’t?
What if he was saved before the final fatal blows?
Alas, while Astarion’s life was saved, nothing will ever be the same again.
Healing magic can only do so much, especially if there was no trained healer on the scene for his poor battered & broken body. The former magistrate is now disabled, with both temporary and permanent conditions. Amongst the latter is the inability to properly speak. He can understand what is being said, for the most part, but responding? A fair bit more difficult. Almost impossible, really. The wonderful world of brain damage…
When the story begins, he has been recovering for roughly a month, coming to terms with his new limitations and who it was that saved him. His mother of all people! Retired adventures never forget some tricks, even if they have spent the past few decades playing at being a proper noble wife.
Everything gets more complicated as he realizes certain things about his family, things he was willfully blind to, but now sees all too clearly, out of the one eye that still works, anyway.
