Relationship Note on Damik
I have waited, to gather my thoughts, in the hopes that the words will come, and take away the pain. Or at least lessen the sting.
Prince Damik was an impressive man, and to see him and Lady Monique together, as they came out of the chambers where they'd had their private discussion was a sight - and when I saw their expressions, I felt hope blossom in my chest. I witnessed firsthand the might he and his soldiers brought to bear at Sungreet. And I thanked the gods they were on our side.
I never did spend much time with him, beyond that. Though I was happy for my friend, and eager to see how the two of them would change each other, as I witnessed the first spark of Lagoma's touch between them.
I mourn our loss, Prince Damik'uhl'daja. But I celebrate that you were with us. I still carry hope that the fires sparked on your ship that day will still rise into a mighty conflagration.
And while I am no soldier, I will strive to forever remind people why we fight. And that we have more in common than not.

Relationship Note on Damik
I sometimes write letters addressed to the fire. Letters never meant to be read by anyone but the lick of flame. Something stayed my hand, and I kept this one.
'Damik,
When I boarded your boat, you claimed I stole your heart. But when you fought at our side, you claimed something even greater than my heart in return. My answer is yes, and I look forward to a life of breaking chains at your side.
Monique'
In the end, I settled for simply ‘Yes’, to avoid an abundance of soft sentiment. But now I wish I had sent my original reply, so he would know I thought the world of him in truth. It is not easy to turn your back on everything you have ever known and fight for a cause greater. I know I won’t see him again in this life, but the ripples of his presence will be with me for the rest of mine.
There will be no mercy for the merciless.
