How ‘Immortal Desires’ could have ended to give at least a bit of closure (Part 1)
Seriously, Choices team could have given at least one more chapter to answer several things at the end, which were left unanswered and just seriously annoyed me. Here I will give my version of how it could have ended, splitting it in several parts, as it got longer than I expected.
Playing as female MC named Stella, male Cas and male Gabriel:
‘…In that case, I’m ready to face whatever is next. With both of you.’
Although, both boys stay serious, no smile in their faces. They exchange glances and Cas starts speaking again, thoughtful expression on his face.
‘Stella, before you get too excited about your immortal life to come, there is one more thing we need to finish. You aren’t going to like it, but it is important.’
You stop smiling, thinking for a second, and it clicks in your mind. Of course… What to say to mom? So you make your guess about it. ‘You mean a matter of what I should tell mom.’
Gabriel looks at you worriedly.
‘When we went to the Nexus we made an agreement with Lewyn and Astoria, that there won’t be any punishment because of your turning that’s done against rules, and they won’t touch you and your mom, but… there was a condition, which, as much as I hate to admit it, makes sense.’
He examines your face for a moment in silence.
‘Please, just tell me already, I can handle it.’ You look impatient and a bit annoyed that suddenly even Cas, who usually isn’t afraid to say things straight in your face seems unusually hesitant.
‘We have to erase you from your mom’s life, and send her out of Crimson Beech, back to where you two came from.’ Cas blurted out.
‘What?... Is that necessary?’ you just couldn’t believe what you just heard. ‘There should be other way.’ You felt desperation and anger rising inside of you, blood boiling in your veins. ‘This is not fair!’ You feel great strength in your arms and that you want to break something to let out that rage. Without thinking, before Cas and Gabriel can stop you, at light’s speed you jump to nearest tree and pull it out with whole roots, throwing it down the forest.
After a blink of the eye, both guys are at your sides, gripping your arms in their strong hands, and you stand between them, confused.
‘What did just happen?‘ you looked around, seeing a tree you just ripped out from the ground.
Cas sighed. ‘New girl, you will have to learn many things for your own, and other‘s safety, but now you have to calm down and hear us out. ‘
You nodded, and they released your arms. ‘Okay, I am listening.‘
The three of you continued walking, Gabriel speaks up again.
‘Let‘s say, you didn‘t tell your mom anything about your new self, you lived day by day as nothing changed. Though think about it... How it all would go, if mom wanted to move, which might happen eventually, and you know well that you can‘t leave this town? Also, it would be really hard, especially first several months, to live with human and sense the smell of blood all the time, you might not be able to control yourself and kill her with your own hands.‘
You walk down forest‘s path in a silent moment, realization sinks to you, that there is no way back from what you are now, and that you have to pay the price for it – you came to the world of vampires, but that also means you have to say goodbye to your human‘s life and what was linked to it.
Even if you feel tears well in your eyes, you nod determined.
‘Okay, I get it now. You are right.‘ You look at both of guys at sides, their faces full of guilt. ‘Please guys, I see you feel guilty that you turned me, but I know you did it to save me, and I thank you. I am glad that I am still with you both.‘ You try to assure them, squeezing both of their hands.
‘We are both really sorry for this.‘ Gabriel says and both guys nods sadly.
‚There is a plan we made how we could do it.‘ Cas looked at you seriously. ‚Are you ready to hear it?‘
‚Yes‘ you answered shortly and turned your attention to Cas.
‚First thing what we have to do, is to collect all of your stuff from your home, anything, what could remind your mom about your existence, photos especially. So you need your mom to show you where all of your childhood pictures are stored and take them. Next, Astoria and Lewyn will prepare for memory cleansing ritual, they will need all those pictures of you and your items for it. They will have to be burned. Sorry, but that is necessary for ritual to work. I am not sure how this work, but from what we were told, ashes of memories mixed with ley line magic energy poured on person‘s head does a trick. And then, finally, when ritual is done, and your mom is brought home, next day Lewyn will talk to her to tell that research is done, and will send her out of Crimson Beech.‘
You sigh, drinking in all the information and trying to comprehend it.
‘So basically, I will lose her forever.‘
‘Unfortunately, but yes.‘ Gabriel squeezes your hand while looking at you with melancholy in the eyes. ‘But, at least this way, she will be alive and save.‘
You look down at three of your hands linked together, thinking. ‘You are right. I guess, that means you two are going to be my family for eternity.‘
After a long while for first time you see small smirk on Cas face. ‘Not only us. I am sure all Venandis will welcome you to our big family.‘
‘And Clements too. ‘ Gabriel added.
‘When you put it that way, it does sound less scary. I have to do my part and take all my things and photos.‘ You feel determined, this is the only way to save your mom. You know this is the best for her, and eventually, for you too.
Cas and Gabe. In my mind I can perfectly picture these two dating some time ago before they met Parker (MC).
I still keep thinking about the idea of Cas and Gabe being together in the past, before they met Parker (MC).
'We were young, and reckless. Mutual attraction was way too strong that we could resist it, no matter of all warnings of what may happen. We used to meet in secret a lot, we risked it all. What could be more stupid than to sink in need and emotion while being in vampire form? Though neither me, nor Cas cared about it. All body senses, all emotions become way stronger than in human form and we wanted to feel everything, as much as we could. Never in my life I needed anyone else as much as I needed Cas, he was my everything. We thought we were under control, we could keep doing this for years, for decades... Until one day, one incautious move caused a near tragedy, and we had to end it. Though I never stopped longing for him... I wonder, does he?'
Immortal Desires trio: Cas, Luca and Gabe. This is a gift for lovely @aria-ashryver , who always supports my arts, especially Immortal Desires related ones. Thank you very much, Aria! ❤❤❤
I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed drawing your beautiful boys. ❤
This one is going to be the most complex piece I ever made, but I really want to picture that moment I had for quite a while in my head, that because of unpredictable Gabe's actions Cas turning went wrong.
....
Then all of sudden the wave of pain in your body again, when Gabriel’s fangs pierced your wrist. The bite was deep and you could feel a new wave of burning venom flowing into your veins. Though the sensation this time was way sharper, it felt like your whole arm was burning with open flame. You must have gotten way too big dose of vampire’s venom. Veins and tissues around where venom was flowing started to melt, becoming blueish grey colour and instantly turning into rough scar tissue. The pain was agonizing, you were tossing from side to side screaming in pain.
‘AAAAAAH PLEASE! MAKE IT STOP!!!’ you screamed at the top of your lungs. Pain became worse and worse with each moment, Gabriel was still holding your wrist, keeping his fangs sank in your flesh for way too long.
‘NO! Lewyn! Do something!’ you could hear panicked Astoria’s voice.
‘Gabriel! STOP IT! Or I will have to stop you!’ Lewyn was furious, he got next to the altar in the blink of the eye, jumping on Gabriel’s shoulders, trying to knock Gabriel down and rip him off of you. More vampires joined him, trying to help to stop totally uncontrollable young member of the clan. Finally with group effort vampires managed to push Gabriel away, leaving you lay there on the altar barely able to breath or move as every nerve ending was burning. Your vision got blurry and blacked out, but you still could hear voices and sense the panic around in distance.
Far from finished, but I really like how the progress is going 🖤
'Cas turning ritual'
aaaaa finally finished it! :)) From composition's point of view it is really the most complex piece I did so far and I am very happy how it turned out.
In this scene should have been some blood, but I decided that i want to keep this piece 'clean' without blood, while I guess there should be plenty. :D
Well, anyway, I hope you enjoy to see it as much as I enjoyed creating it. There was some experimentation while drawing this piece as there were things I never drew before, and I am very pleased that while 'I have no idea what am I doing' I managed to create this mysterious, a bit dusty, heavy mood just the way I wanted it. :)
I miss Cas and I wanted to sketch him again. This time picturing him with guy mc, when mc is already a vampire and they just enjoy time together. I imagine them as two lovers who like to match their style :D
Not sure anymore, if it looks more Immortal Desires or Twilight :D
Why does Adalhard look at me like that sometimes? Why him touching me annoys me so much? What's that really.. it feels somehow... familiar? Do I really want, or need to know? I am almost sure that some of my memories were wiped out, same as it was done to many Crimson Beech's mortals. It is not usually done for vampires, I am not even sure it is possible. If it was, there must have been a serious reason.
Wait… the characters in immortal desires are 18 right? And the book is not 17+? Look I understand… but I still want a steamy scene from Gabe or Cas, they better give it or I’m throwing hands.
So people, I restarted immortal desires for different choices because I have the time. But when I created my character again I noticed something off.
Tell me does the male MC body mainly the head, neck and shoulders look a little off or is it just me.
Okay so I just had an idea for Immortal Desires
I don’t believe the concept of half vampire and half human (dhampir) has appeared in choices yet. One of the theories on the choices theories page is that mc turns into a vampire. Maybe they’ll turn into a half vampire/dhampir.
I think it would be really cool. Especially since a half vampire is not that far off for this book, any other supernatural creature stretches the book a bit too far.
some gabes i drew while procrastinating!! there's a severe lack of gabe fanart rn,, that should be amended fr
this one is under the cut so wide release friends won't be spoiled lmao:
THEY DIDN’T GIVE ME SPICY TIME WITH GABE OR CAS!!!
AND THEY ENDED THE BOOK RIGHT THERE!!!
NO I’M DONE WITH THIS APP! I’M ONLY COMING BACK FOR BLADES.
CHOICES? YOU CAN F*CK OFF
Hot Take!!!
Black Cas is hotter.

You know, I should probably draw this but with the male mc
