I am twisted and torn every time I speak to you. I thought I had left it all behind, that I would allow pain to become empty space, for love to turn to hate at how I was treated.

Now this.

I am lost again, at the worst time to be lost, uncertain.

I cannot think about this now, I have to much work to do.

But I will never like him.

I have many thoughts, but most of them do not make it to the whites. I have found that when I write things down for public consumption, the context is lost and people assume far differently than what I meant.

I am told that Limerance has a path for us all, that in the end what is right will be right.

I just wonder why that path must be so rocky. Why there must be so many pitfalls. So much pain.

Every time I begin to feel love for another, they are taken from me.

In a way I am glad we finally march on Stormwall, for soon I will not have time to think of much anything but killing, or being killed.

Trust.

It is more than a word. I take you into my confidence and you repay me by breaking that confidence without so much as a by your leave.

Trust is now broken.

Once broken...

Lesson. Learned.

I now hate every damned messenger in Arx.

Every.

Single.

One.

I knew happiness. True happiness.

I had to hide it else it be broken.

Now, on the eve of War, when we March to our fates and the fate of Arx itself, possibly even the compact I am crushed.

Why am I not good enough? I am a Lord. I am Noble Born. I am a Minister of War. I am a Knight. I am the Voice of my House. I am a Disciple of Gloria.

It is not enough.

It is for her but not, apparently, for her House.

I have no more words.

I march to the Hell of War. With Hell already inside me.

I still do not know what to do. This city is a trial I think, Gloria tests me, but Limerance is true. It makes it difficult.

How do I reconcile this and make /this/ work?

Relationship Note on Derovai

Arrogant. Rude. Overcharges. The /set/ on this man, just begging to be reminded of why he is what he is, and we are what we are.

A night on the top of the wall, with no armor, and only a light blanket.

Why does he think the no armor is a hindrance or something? The last thing I want is my breastplate freezing and metal sucking in the cold and giving me frostbite.

Most expensive cold night ever.

Why did I /pay/ for this again?

To add more madness to the mix, I find myself torn between duty, faith, and the pangs of the heart. I must focus this into a desire to succeed, so that I may see it through to the end instead of allow it to scatter my thoughts to the wind, distract me from what I must do. If only I could put her out of my mind...

I find myself burdened more than I have ever been, but I must rise to the challenge, I must be the support that my Family and my People need during this trying time. I must be up to the task. There are no other options... None. At all.

Why is it that when everything seems to be moving forwards, suddenly it all falls off the rails? There is a law I am told, that the worst thing that can happen, most likely will happen. A good thing to plan for when it comes to War, better to be overprepared than underprepared. Not so useful when it comes to family...

Relationship Note on Elsbetta

My Cousin. As much a Knight as I or any other, though her field be the political, and her weapon her words, her shield her wits. Woe to any whom would harm her.

I have met with several Archlectors in as many days. Perhaps it is a sign I am on the right path. I know not what to make of the past, but I can only at this time focus on the future. Which path should I follow? The path I have always followed, or another far less certain one? All I know is that I cannot abandon those who count on me. I will not abandon who I am.
