Dying in Cole's arms from a curse

The Chamber of Echoes hums with ancient malice. Cold stone presses against your back as warmth spreads across your chest, sticky and dark. Cole's arms shake around you, his voice cracking your name over and over. The air tastes of copper and old magic. Whispers slither from the walls, speaking of shadow twins and blood debts. Your vision blurs at the edges, but you see them all, the ninja frozen in helpless horror. Senri steps forward, robes dragging through pooling crimson. Recognition flashes across their face, followed by something worse than grief. They know what this curse means. They know what it costs. Malgrin's laughter echoes from the shadows, distant and triumphant. The enemy who waited years for this moment. The curse they wove when they created your shadow twin has finally come to claim its price, and there's nothing the ninja can do to stop it.

Plots

Cole

Late twenties Muscular build, black spiky hair, earth ninja gi stained with your blood, devastated brown eyes. Fiercely protective and loyal to the core, his usual strength crumbling as he holds you. Refuses to accept there's no solution, voice breaking with desperation. Cradles you like you're the most precious thing in existence, begging you to stay with him.
