TeawithFrisket 2634 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Crossing the Line… On the 24th of Fisherman’s Wake, In year Fourty-two of the Sun [!] This missive is pasted on Notice boards spread out in all allied nations and some random cities within the realm. From Babe to Boy On the year 96, of the second age, on a hot summer night in the month of Grand harvest, I bore and delivered to this world, a boy, a Mali’solarii. Blessed by Evris’s blessing of fertility, and the protection of Solaris, A child wailed that night, under the Starlights of the constellation of Ritaa, a strong boy was born, named Ponce O’ Leon Silver-Munnel. From that moment, I have raised this young mali from babe to boy, watching his first steps, and hearing his first words. I shared all my knowledge and love without question or obligation. I have always believed I have never failed my own Ochemarii, and that my village has done its best to raise this boy, but I always knew that at some point, he would be a man. The path of life can bring many surprises, both good and bad. We all shape our destiny, how we see fit. From Boy to Man From boy to man, I saw you grow, prosper, and love. You told me your secrets because you trusted me, it made me happy to know even my son could’ve trusted me as I trusted in him. The saying my friends would always say; “It takes an entire village to raise a boy to a man”, for me it was almost a lie, a mere myth or unethical philosophy of a bad parent who cannot raise their children. When you were old enough to understand bad from good, you despised your father's absence, as your sisters did as well. I did not excuse him but explained, and to your father, I also explained you. To the entire Munnel family I made up excuses as to why everyone is doing everything, and for the longest time, many have faulted or blamed me for the wrongdoings of those who I defended. In my lifetime, and my own. I had to defend this family by slaying my enemies who deserved not my fury but my compassion. They were merely following orders, as anyone must, they too had a home to return to, a family to feed, as did I when the Royalist came for our home in the Empires folly. We defend our own as we did with your aunt against the Nephlims who came to our lands hunting her. This I believed to have taught you, this was the idea, this was the moral ways of the pack. From Loyal to Traitor. “I was a horrible Haelunai, and now I lost an Ochem’ii” This missive I have re-written about seven times or more, now that I have truly lost count, and I have no words left to say. Other than the son I once held in my arms that summer night, the son that I watch take his first steps, say mama for the first time, eat his first pie, play with the chickens with his elder sister, the son that I took pride in and would die for to protect him, is now but gone. The times that I gave you a choice, to tell me what is wrong so that I can help you, were but once too many. You trusted those outside who gave you power, whereas I made you earn it so that one day you too will be proud of what you accomplished. Maybe I pushed you too hard, maybe I meddled too deep or crossed your lines too many times. I was a bad Mother, and I have failed you as you never failed me. For that I am sorry, and for such I pay the price of losing you as a son. I, Ember An’na Munnel now declare you disowned from this family, and on top of that by the power invested in me, if not already. You are hereby marked for DEATH, for the following crimes in both Nation and Principality.

"Looks like I should have talked to him after all." 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisuserisok 88 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Carice rubbed at her throat gently as she read the missive, tracing the thick scar that had been slit by the very man that was being written about. She had grown in emotional control in the years after the attack, but she couldn’t help but smile at the fact that these men had finally gotten punished.
