You want to make a family

You look next to you and see the man you just made love to. You crawl close to him and place your hand on his chest.
“You’re not really my conscience, are you?” You tell him.
He smiles and asks “What gave it away?”
You grin naughtily, but choose not to answer his question.

“So what are you really?” You ask next.
“I am whoever I choose to be. All I got to do is see him or her, and I am.” He explains.
All it takes is for you to blink and he has adapted to your female shape.
“So, you’re a doppelganger.” You giggle.

After this follows a moment of comfortable silence. One which is broken when you say “You were right, you know. About me wanting to feel secure, and wanting to have a family.”
“Come with me.” The doppelganger suggests. “We’ll run away, you and me, as far as you like. We can live a happy life and have many children.”
You give her a loving kiss and say “Let’s do it.”

The both of you get up and travel down the river. According to the doppelganger, you can find a settlement if you follow it far enough.
In the midst of eloping with your new lover, you completely forget about the sword of saint Magdalena. The holy relic of the order of the Burning Rose lies next to the river … unattended.

A few hours later, a grey skinned creature with black armor plates comes across the place where you lost your virginity. He picks up the sword of saint Magdalena and grins.
“Lord Thoros will grant me at least five virgins when I bring this to him.” He muses to himself.
He then turns around and heads back to White Rock Abbey.
