Scar-Rings

Scar never really understood love. He’s cared for others sure and he’s loved, but he never understood it really, never really thought about or even cared to learn about the idea of marriage or having a partner

but who could blame him, he was a elf mage, which meant he was also immortal. He didn’t mind though...or at least he thought he didn’t mind, that was until he became close friends with someone; now he didn’t know their name they just called themselves “hero” and that was it

the two were close, usually getting into different messes but at least staying by each other side

scar even remembered one day, him and hero ended up getting into some kind of disagreement scar couldn’t even remember about, causing his friend to be slightly angry at him

and to try and apologize; scar bought a pair of matching rings from a stall in the town they were at

one ring having a green stone with the engravings of poppies and lilacs, with the other having a red stone with the same engraving

scar bought them and got down on one knee to give to his companion, not really getting why his friend looked so red in the process of accepting it

unfortunately though the next year, the two got into a intense battle with a witch, causing scar to be weaken to the point where, when he saw his hero on the ground slowly dying. He couldn’t do anything but hold him as he gave his last breath

____

thousands of years have passed since that day, with scar putting his own ring into hiding in his belongings basically forgetting about it once the 5th thousand year hit

through out the time many people tried to get scar to join their parties hearing how powerful scar could be if he wasn’t doing party tricks

but scar refused them every single time

than one day, a man name grian appeared

scar tried to stay away but the pesky man kept fallowing scar and asking if scar would join his party

one day scar was digging through his ok belongings when he founded his old ring hesitating before putting it back on, but that was also the same day scar ended up getting sick of grian constant asking as he than gave grian a quest he thought grian would never be able to complete

he showed grian the golden ring on his finger as he stated his quest

find me a ring like this. there is only two in the world, and i am missing its pair.

when scar said it, he truly thought outsmarted the man; but how shock would scar be when he saw the human stick up his own hand showing off a ring with the same engraved ring and red stone

“You mean a ring like this”

the human says with a slight smirk towards the mage obviously knowing he won the bet immediately without knowing the shock scar was currently going through
