You know, I kind of wish there had been another option for Ragefast and Abela.
That my character could have chosen "Ragefast, you say you love Abela the Nymph. Abela will die if she lives in the city - but you will not die if you live in the forest! If you love her, and hope for her to love you back, why don't you move to her forest and live there, and court her like a respectable man?"
Because I'm a total romantic and I kind of want Ragefast's unrequited - and terribly mishandled by himself (wizards, no experience with how to go about romance, eh?) - love to have a possible happy ending, and not one that ends with him dead or sat in crushing anguish over never seeing her again.
After all, nothing says Abela *couldn't* fall in love with him, if Ragefast actually went about courting her properly, instead of absconding with her to put in a cage.
