The first time Lucivar met his mate, Cassandra, was when she was taken in by the Clan after being abandoned by her own Clan. She was only three days older than he was, but when they met they were already well into their teenage years. When Lucivar saw Cassandra’s bright eyes and glimmering scales, something inside him told him she was going to be his mate.
When they had grown up and spent lots of years together, Lucivar finally mustered the courage to ask Cassandra - and to that question she agreed. The two of them became officially mates, and never left each other’s side. Both of them were training as mages, and Cassandra was one of the most powerful in the Clan. If one went to their Clan, it would be full of rumours of how Lucivar and Cassandra were like a match made in heaven - a match too good to be true.

“Lucivar and Cassandra. Garon has found a sample of a shade sphere in our territory. It’s a sphere filled with essence of the Shade - be careful with it. Your objective is to find a way to release the sphere’s contents back where it belongs without any stray shades coming out. Understood?” The head mage, Arthur, asked.
Lucivar gulped and nodded. Cassandra nodded confidently. Lucivar felt both honoured and scared to receive this assignment. Dealing with the Shade was a dangerous job, reserved only for the best of mages. He could only hope nothing would go wrong with their spells.
-- -- --
“Lucivar!”
Hearing his mate’s call, Lucivar scrambled up from his desk and ran in the direction of Cassandra’s voice. He leaped out of his office and rushed to Cassandra’s laboratory.
“LUCIVAR!”
He tripped over a stray tree trunk, but righted himself in time to rush into the laboratory before Cassandra could yell again.
He stopped short, eyes wide.
Cassandra writhed on the ground, twisting and struggling. The Shade had punched a hole in the sphere and sprung out, wrapping itself around his mate. As he watched, its grip grew tighter until it was practically strangling Cassandra.
“No!” Lucivar roared ferociously, leaping forward and clawing at the Shade. Of course, since it was not substantial, his claws had barely any effect on it. He could only grab at black wisps and lunge at air. He could not see anything except for the Shade. It was one big mass, and all he knew was that it would be the cause of Cassandra’s death. He leaped and swiped, but all of his efforts were in vain. The Shade slowly won the battle against Cassandra’s life.
As the light faded from his mate’s eyes and her last breath escaped with a sigh, the Shade slipped into her mouth. He could only watch as it filled her, her veins now seemingly pulsing with a dark presence. Lucivar knew how this happened, how the Shade took over their kills and went on massacres using that dragon as a mere puppet.
He tried to convince himself that the dragon now convulsing before him was not Cassandra, but the Shade. He tried to convince himself that Cassandra was alright, safe in a better place, and this was just her body. Nevertheless, as he plunged the dagger into the dragon’s body, tears still streamed down his face. Uncontrollable, hot tears of pain and regret.
He roared in rage and anguish, thrashing around the laboratory. The sphere dropped from the table and crashed to the ground, smashed into a million tiny shards.
Just like his heart.
-- -- --
Those were Lucivar’s thoughts as he drifted in the dark. He could not feel, see, hear or smell anything here. Is this death? He wondered. Would I get to see Cassandra again?
His heart tightened at the mention of his beloved mate. His brows furrowed and a single tear streaked down his cheek, more following after it.
I can’t let any others suffer at the hands of the Shade. I can’t let any others die just like Cassandra did. I can’t let their loved ones mourn their death with a painful heart. I can’t let this happen again.
And thus he came to purgatory.
