She slowed with it. “I- I want to help you.”

Tinker caught up behind Marewill. He shot a nervous glance at the Redspine and reached into his pack for a Verdant grenade.

Mark manages to get to his feet, staring at the monster as Jaksyn leeches it.

"Wait... I think Astra knows this thing. We should listen to it, at least for a moment." Mark says.

His little Cultivationspren nods approvingly. Not yet. You know the words, but the words don't know you.

"Are you sure your not a Cryptic? Because you're being very cryptic." Mark murmurs, fairly certain that the spren can hear.

I'm not! The spren says into his mind in mock outrage. You may know the words, but you must experience the words for the words to know you!

You forget your reason for being. You forget…you lose your hunger…

No... No... I haven't forgotten... I can't... But... but I must.... It roared at her, then came back to their senses briefly and collapsed to the ground. "I... I don't think you can..."

She grabbed his other arm with a bit of a “wait” gesture, then looked back at the Redspune. 

@BlueWildRye

The Redspine eyed both of them, panting heavily, hunger stronger than ever, simultaneously filled with primal wrath and human-like pity.

“You can stop this…” She glanced at Tinker, then back at the Redspine, and exhaled. “You don’t have to be their puppet.”

Wait but . . . didn't you talk to sharp a minute a go and say you weren't going in the casino??

Jaksyn started to drain, his life sapped by the cold. “Rusts, Astra. I didn’t even get to do my whole speech. Corin was right, you deserve to win. You and Mark are a cute couple, I hope for your sake you don’t have to kill him.” Then, as he ran out of luck and charges, Jaksyn Rogue, the worst F-Chromium user ever, died.

Thanks y’all, it’s been a blast.

"I'll become their puppet no matter what, so long as I live." So long as I live...

"Jaksyn!! NO!" A guttural roar emerges from Mark's throat. he runs over to Jaksyn.

"Please, no..." The Cultivationspren nods encouragingly.

"I will remember you, Jaksyn Rogue. You will never be forgotten."

“You don’t, you don’t have to be.”

The Redspine jumped up suddenly, baring its teeth. It stalked towards Marewill until it was right in front of her.

It lifted its head and puffed out its chest. "Kill me. It's... It's the only way."

Nononono… I can’t… I can’t kill anyone else…

It’s asking me to, though… is that any different? Mercy killing? Ending its misery?

She unsheathed her knife. It’s starving… that will take it eventually. It would be a slow and painful way to go. This would be the merciful thing. 

She set the point on his chest. “I’m sorry.”

Did someone else besides Jaksyn (and soon to be the Redspine) die?

No, but there's been very few deaths. Mark or Astra may end up getting killed by this wind thing, but I'm not really sure.

As Jaksyn died, the wind died with him. The temperature returned to normal, and the cloak turned to dust.

"Don't worry Jaksyn. Your final words have been heard. And I will remember you."

"I will remember those who have been forgotten."

A warm feeling washed through Mark, and he sighed in relief.

"Astra... You should get some sleep. It's been too long since we had a rest."

Who wants a thing? I was gonna choose randomly, but I don’t know who’s still alive, so whoever’s paying attention and responds gets it. 
To whomever responds first: 

Spoiler

Hey! You! Yeah, you! You wanna win, right? Look on the ground, to your left! You’re thinking this, but they aren’t your thoughts. Something else is speaking in your head. To your left, lying on the ground, is a piece of metal. It’s around the length of a pencil, but thicker, and it narrows to a point. It is bright white, and sparkles in several colors. Whoever you are, you’ve never seen this metal before.

Mark glances suspiciously towards the metal.

He looks to his spren, a question in his gaze.

"Never seen it." The spren responds.

He steps over to the piece of metal. Who are you? What have you done to my head? He focuses in on the thoughts, hoping that whomever was able to place thoughts in his mind was able to hear his thoughts as well.

He pokes the metal with one finger, making sure its not a trap of some kind.

@Edema Rue you agreed to let Dragonheir do this right? (Just making sure)
