Well, today i had some bad news, i find i have a terminal illness and have about 4 months to live. I will be leaving my one and only love, Laergon, and my two children, Dorofeil and Cara'rille, believe me, if i had a choice in the matter i would stay, but death gives no choice.
If my soul ever finds a place to rest i will remain true to Laergon, as i pledged myself to him for eternity this morning in a private meeting to renew our wedding vows. I love him as no other.
So, soon now i will be dead, but i do not leave this land without making my mark. I am proud to have been the first to have a family here, and hopefully before i depart i will become the first woman to acheive a black belt in Tekura.
For all of you i leave that which came from my imagination, search to the east of the Raphalean Highway and you will find it. I bid all my friends and enemies alike, farewell, wherever you go or even if you stay.

Laergon's Love, Mother of Dorofeil and Cara'rille, Shastaan's mother,
