For my Grandfather,
So strong of will and cause

Remember the days of peace?
Those days of ratting in the fields
I remember your voice
your clarity in life
Your loyalty
Your love of the moon
and your respect of the Dark
I remember your hand
your guidance
You showed me the way
Lighting my path before me

I remember your leadership
My need to live up to your ideals
to follow your lead
To make the Lady proud
To lead by your example
to follow where I could not
I remember your stregnth
your love of Family,
To you Family and Guild were the same
to you Guild and City were one

You left footsteps i can only stretch to reach in vain
You left footsteps i can only stretch to reach in vain
you left a empty place in my heart
an empty place at the table
an empty place in the world.
you left a legacy,
It is now gone.
but your memory remains
inside me
inside us.
with Her.


Zekk Danial.


Penned by my hand on the 20th of Scarlatan, in the year 413 AF.
