Summary
(noun —
1. The elevation of a mortal to divine status.
2. The climax of obsession; the point at which devotion becomes indistinguishable from desire.
3. The transformation of one man — once slave, once vampire, once broken — into the chosen blade, lover, and ruinous worshipper of a goddess who never intended to save him, only to keep him.)In this story, Apotheosis was not a reward.
It was not salvation.It was the slow, relentless undoing of Astarion as he gave himself — body, blood, soul, wit, will — to something greater.
To you.
A goddess of fire and cruelty, seduction and sacred violence.
You did not demand faith. You created need.And Astarion, in all his vanity and venom and hunger, did not kneel because he was weak.
He kneeled because he chose to.
Again.
And again.
And again.Because in your hands, he was no longer merely a vampire.
He was not even a man.He was devotion made flesh.
He was your Apotheosis.
