A Crow's Return.

[TheIchorDruid 1986]

 

 

[!] A flurry of parchments would be delivered to the Province of Rubern, the heart of Helena, Curonia and Haense. The announcement posted upon the public boards and copies sent to their relevant heads.

 

 

In the late months, I have been named a criminal simply sourcing from my conflictions within this war. Both sides, hold faces that I cherish. Faces that as a girl, I strived to preserve. Yet in the eye of the viper, that is war; I have allowed my bleeding heart to blind me. Recklessness and passion thrived into waves of carnage and such resulted in making foolish choices. Peace is a child’s game; for the heart of man is vengeful and leal. We are the lions of a pride, claws ready to shred when our populace is threatened. But my own remained withheld, I remained idle and allowed the carnage to worsen.

 

I was raised Ruberni, my father and mother nestling me beneath their wing upon finding their cousin’s bastard orphaned and left to wither. Such memories remedied my aching for peace, it made me wish to keep from the violence. Yet, those whom I’d lay my life for have caused the losses; have resulted in such ache I feel now. Left, to mourn my uncle, left to mourn my mindless antics. What I’d give for them, may never have been returned in the equal devotion and with such, I must make a choice.

 

A choice that stings, but is necessary. A choice that will eventually, bring the peace I have longed so desperately to see. A choice to stand with my brethren of the empire, to finally lift my blade from its sheath and defend my Cousin’s crown. These months, I have been a coward - hiding within the shadow of my father; praying to GOD he’d reclaim his throne within the province and end these childish games. But I was left with naught. 

 

My biggest regret of such blinded passion is standing idle whilst my father bore my own steel against my mother. A woman whom merely made a choice to take a crown that cried for her saviour, for her to protect a family that was desperate in the crisis we face. That sinking feeling that choked my pits is one I will fail to shake off. With such, all I can do is extend an apology to you mother. That evening I was paralyzed with fear, afraid of what my father might have done if I had refused his request. 

 

Though no longer, will I stand and allow people to make the choices for me. For the future of my child, husband and family. My choice has been made.

 

To stand with the crowns and flock with my family. 

 

To you, Marius, lay down the war effort - come home and be with your family. Too many have already been claimed by a war with little meaning - most are still healing from the battles prior and our spirits are growing weary. 

 

Ave man, Ave Haense.

“You’re of clear mind, Dame Winnie” an aging Dame murmurs pridefully.

“Isn’t the Prince of Rubern like.. 9 or 10 years old?”

[Bisscy 64]

Roderick smiles as he places the parchment down before making his way through the city to look for the Dame “She is finding the light,” the Knight would mutter to himself
