A Plague Tale: Sacrifice

Amicia and Hugo:

 

"Hugo! Where are you?"

"I'm here. I'm close."

"I can't see you! I'll do whatever it takes! I want... to see you."

"Are you sure?"

 

"You just keep on fighting! We tried that way, and it was a lie. It's not the right way; you know that."

"I don't know, Hugo!"

"It brought death, Amicia. And I brought death too! It's the mistake I made... and what I've become."

 

"I've seen you fight so many times. You still won't back down, will you, Amicia?"

"It's us or them! I have no choice!"

"You have a choice... but it scares you."

 

"We need to fix this Amicia!"

"We'll find a solution! I promise, Hugo!"

"You keep saying that. But there's only one solution now."

 

"You’re the only one who can stop me... from becoming a monster," Hugo said.

"You’re not a monster!"

"I will be…" replied the boy, "if I kill all I love."

 

Amicia learns what it is to sacrifice all she loves... and she kills her little brother who she loved so much, when he asks her to, because it was the only way to stop the Plague, or the Macula in the boy's blood would never cease killing... killing other people! And what was the life of one boy, to the lives of hundreds? What does the life of one child mean? And what does love mean? Did Amicia ever answer these questions?

 

And so Amicia slings the stone.

 

This is a collaboration between Joe (jnj_bricks) and I, built for the Labour of Love category of Brickscalibur. I haven't slept in a while so I should go to sleep now, but later you can see more of the terrain, more of the Rats' Nest, and maybe some behind the scenes. I'm really excited for this build! It looks awfully small, but I had to carry it down the stairs... and I know it weighed a lot! It's huge.

 

I have to mention that I was very inspired by Josh DeMoss's piece of music from the Symphony of Construction, I listened to it while I was building and it gave me the chills. And of course the music from A Plague Tale: Requiem. It was so beautiful, and touching, and deadly...

 

I have no words to describe A Plague Tale.

 

To God Be The Glory, and may you seek Him when you find yourself sad and troubled, like Amicia and Hugo, instead of getting lost...

 

I hope you like it!
