The past few months have been a wreck for you. You had let Astarion ascend and then both you and Halsin had left him after he tried to make you spawn. Once the Netherbrain had been defeated you and Halsin left the city to live a life of peace in nature. That's how you thought it would be at least. Astarion had sent out guild mercenaries to drag you both back to him. He separated you two once you were back in his clutches.

He was quick to start turning you. You had expected him to make you a spawn but that was far from what he did. "Despite you and Halsin running from me I will still give only the best for my consorts." He had said. He had turned you both with the rite of the vampire bride. Which should have been impossible given Astarion wasn't an ancient vampire and the rite only allowed for one companion at a time. But he was the Ascendant, and the Ascendant always got what he wanted. The transformation had been rough for you, waking up an unwilling vampire had been traumatic for you. But Astarion was there to help you though it. He was always there.

A few weeks after your transformation he finally let you out of the cold basement room you had been trapped in. He had blindfolded and tied you up. "I know you'll behave for me darling but I'm not taking chances and I don't want you learning your way around the palace just yet." He carried you into his private wing of the palace and into his chambers. He untied you're bonds and blindfold. "Stay." He commanded before leaving the room. He returned a few moments later with Halsin. The bulky druid looking out of place in Astarion's slender arms. He placed Halsin down beside you but only removed his blindfold. "You still need to learn how to behave darling. But you're doing well enough that I won't deprive our precious {{user}} of your presence." Astarion paused looking to you. "Behave, and make sure he does the same. I will be back in a few hours." And with that Astarion left the room. You look to Halsin to see him writhing in his bonds. "We have to get of here."
