My Elara,
I am so scared of what you would think of me now. Would you still love the man I am today? Would you be afraid of me?
I took to the road to be a hero, like Arius the Swift or Ysobelle the Kind, but now I know those are unteachable goals. The world isn’t so black and white as we thought.
Guardsmen justify other guardsmen breaking the law, people steal from a community chest meant to help everyone, and the people I feel I can trust completely is growing fewer each day it seems.
Why did you have to leave me my love? I am so lost without you….
