I am saddened.
I have returned to find my brothers have abandoned me. My lover married, with not even a personal message to notify me, I must read about it in a public post. Very nice.
My most promising protege dead. Of my son, I do not know... I can only assume he has left this land being berift of family.
I should however, like to welcome back Lady Eris, who I am sure is deligted that chaos managed to reign in her absence.
Upon my departure, I shed myself of all material fetters planning for my eventual return at which time I would be forced to start from scratch.
I did not realize that I would return to find the very last of the fetters of my heart severed as well.
Cooper and Mhorlan, you are traitors to our family and never deserved to wear our father's name. The only excuse that I can think of for you is that perhaps you were too young when our father died to truely remember him and take pride in his name.
As for family loyalty, you have turned away and therefore have lost the privelage of my good favour. Do not bother me for rides, loans or asistance, for I don't know you. My brothers are dead.
Now I begin my new life. Those who knew me before can forget everything they knew.
It will be awhile before I adjust to these unexpected changes and find my new path. Rest assured it will be my own.
I shall live for others no more.
As for Rufus and Katrine, you have my congratulations. You have both always been close to my heart and I do not intend to hold a grudge in this matter. I intend to enjoy companionship with you both in the future.
However, I hope you will both understand if it takes a little time.
My Lady Gaia- I have come to terms with the fact that you will not forgive me and allow me to return to the path I so longed for. No worries, I shall find a new one.
I am sorry to all who have nothing to do with this post. I am too lazy to send out individual messages to everyone. I have more important things to do.
