Relationship Note on Eirlys
It would seem we have about two more months to go, and then we can met the baby. We have names picked out, so we are prepared there. There are times it is hard, I miss Eirlys. I admit she would be my first choice for the baby's Witness. I know she would love them just as much as we would, and they would be family, no if, ands, or buts about it. I admit I would love to name the baby Eirlys, if we have a girl. But I think perhaps something with Eirlys in the name would be better, to honor her, but also to give the baby their own name. I pray that she or he will be as brave, compassionate, loyal, and kind as Eirlys was.

Upon my return I heard you passed in Battle. I am sad to hear it but I knew you wouldn't have had it any other way.

Relationship Note on Eirlys
Even though it has been some time since Eirlys' death, I still find moments of missing her. The sound of her laughter, the comfort of her hug, the brightness of her smile. And now as it gets closer to the time of my marriage, there is a touch of sorrow knowing she will not be there. And yet, I know that she will be, for all those that come into our lives and touch us, stay with us. Just wish I could find the necklace she gave me.

Relationship Note on Eirlys
"She was the daughter of the Forest. She was beloved of the Old Gods. She spoke with our voice."
There is no way I could renounce the spirits after witnessing what I did at the Battle of Stormwall. So it's with a heavy heart that I step down as an Armswoman of Gloria.

Relationship Note on Eirlys
We gathered at the Gauntlet last night, House Telmar and House Greenmarch, to honor the life of the departed Sword of the Greenwood, Lady Eirlys Greenmarch.
Between the sparring bouts in the dueling ring and the heats running the Gauntlet (I logged a personal best), I think Lady Eirlys would have been pleased. I hope her soul smiled on our efforts.

Relationship Note on Eirlys
I have written a full account of the Battle of Stormwall in my black reflections, but the main point I wish to leave for history and Vellichor is this.
Eirlys Greenmarch is a hero and the only reason the demon who set upon me and so many others was slain. Her sacrifice saved my life and, to my view, the lives of every other warrior who faced that thing. Whatever our skills or whatever was within us, it was her death that saved us. There has been much talk of that fight, but this is the part I shall not forget and no one else should forget it, either.

Hearing the circumstances of your death, dear girl, I am reminded of your life and the bright, bold spirit that drew my daughter's friendship and made you her sister of the spirit, and one of my beloved acorns.
When next I return to Oakhaven, I will plant new life for you and hope to watch it grow into a mighty oak.

I can't claim to have know Lady Eirlys as well as I knew the Lady Niamh or Lady Neve. But we had met. And I respected her. And from what I've been told, she was responsible for grave losses among the enemy, even as, in her death, the enemy was responsible for a grave loss of our own.
Sounds like the Greenmarch way, to grasp victory even in death and defeat.
May the Queen of Endings accept her like the hero she was, and the Mother send her off to a new beginning.

Relationship Note on Eirlys
Eirlys... this one is a hard one to write. So much time was lost, with so many, and you among them. I am fortunate that we were recently able to speak after so many years. It was awkward at first, for certain, but throughout the course of that conversation... steps were made, hands extended, and a bridge created, the beginning of steps forward.
What you said to me, mere moments before your passing, will always be carried in my heart, Eirlys. Thank you for the trust, and the sentiment. I will keep my promise to keep them safe, do all I can to ensure it for as long as I draw breath.
May your journey to the Wheel be a peaceful one, my friend. I feel confident in calling you that, because in the end, I do believe it is what we had once more. And when you are ready, when the time is right, may your return to the living lands bring you to a life where you are able to inspire anew with all that you are.

[ Added to the entry, the following has been carefully penned on parchment in flowing, almost delicate script: ]
All the world breathes as one with life,
In the endless skies and countles stars,
and wildflowers of infinite hue,
She is, I know, still alive here --everywhere --
In every wonderful thing surrounding us.
In every wonderful thing inside of you.
In every wonderful thing.

Relationship Note on Eirlys
I have lost yet another Greenmarch child. I know, in truth, that none of them are my children or family by blood, yet they felt it. They embraced me as one of their own, in a very strong way, when they first came to the city. Adopted me. Each one remarkably warm, kind, and willing to trust a woman who they likely were unsure would trust them back. Oh, but how I did, and cared for them like my own blood. I learned so much about each of them through the first weapons they commissioned, later replaced with better ones as their positions and prowess grew, but when someone puts their life in your hands by requesting a weapon - a thing that may decide between life or death - I don't know how to describe how special such an honor feels.
Time has passed, duties taken up and, indeed, we all became busy with our expanding lives. Yet even with that, much like my children living their own full lives in Sanctum, my heart never lost its fierce fondness for any of them. Lady Niamh's loss was difficult, but I feel I see her every day in the runted war elk she so graciously gifted me what feels a lifetime ago. Lady Eirlys - this hurts. Her enthusiasm for life seemed boundless, her adoration of her friends without question, and the gods and spirits know she was as fierce as any mother bear when it came to protecting anyone she cared for.
Too young, too soon, yet doing exactly what I know she would do - saving. The world will be a bit darker without you, my lady.

I met the Lady Eirlys exactly once, when she was discussing plans to marry Prince Jericho. She impressed me then, with the grandness of her heart.
I heard about her passing. That she died protecting another is unsurprising to me.
I regret I did not have the chance to know her better. She seemed like a woman of rare quality.

May your hands be cleansed of the lives you took to save your people.
May your feet be lifted of any burdens in this lifetime that weighed heavy.
May your heart be comforted of any worries of who you left behind.
May your deeds be recorded so they are remembered for your sacrifice.
May your soul rejoin the Wheel and be reborn into our fold once again.
You were born of my blood, spent your youth learning in my shadow, but when the time came and you were needed, you shined for your own deeds. I will speak your name with pride. I will shed no tears. For you lived your life with honor and glory.

My Love, My Fiance, and My heart, Lady Eirlys Greenmarch has died.
She fought valiantly in the Battle of Stormwall, and against such a terrible foe that crawled from darkness, she gave her life to save another. As I write this, my hand is heavy...tears stain my eyes...and I find myself coping horribly with the loss of my heart.
I remember the day we met...she soundly defeated me in sparring, and from that moment on, I knew I would marry this woman someday. But now...the curse that invades this land has taken her away. May all remember: Lady Eirlys Greenmarch is a hero. One we wish had not departed us so soon in her life.
I hear tales that the departed watch over us...that even though they have died, they are still with us in their own way. If, by chance, this is true, know then that I will see you again, Eirlys, in paradise.
By my hand,
Prince Jericho Valardin.

On the subject of family, you, my dear Lady Eirlys Greenmarch, are certainly that to me. Your description of Lady Shae is spot on. She is very much a ray of Sunshine, I have described her that way myself, many a time. Some might think I mean only that she is warm, comforting and can be as sweet as the first rays of sunlight on your face in the Spring. But she is also as fierce as the unrelenting rays, can be as punishing to her foes as a desert heat. She is also as reliable as that great star that rises without fail each dawn to banish the dark.
Lady Shae is a wonder, and a gift. And for more than her presence in our lives, but also in the friends she has brought to Keaton. You, Lady Eirlys, Princess Alis and Prince Fiachra. Marquis Gaston. All of you have become known to us because of Shae and each and every one of you is a blessing.
As to witnessing Squall's birth, well. I shall have to discuss this with Kael and think on it. I am nervous, this I will admit. As the time grows ever nearer, I find that my knowledge of medicines and how things can go so very wrong is a hindrance of sorts. Perhaps having those I feel close to will help ward off those frightening thoughts. I still must see who I can find to be the midwife, there is less time than I think and so very much left to do.

But Lady Eirlys, you *are* family. You are close as a sister to Lady Shae, and therefore you are welcome into the greater Keaton Family. Our home is as yours. You are more than welcome to come by any time you wish, for food, or drink, conversation or simple meditation. And healing, though in truth I hope not to see you for that reason with any frequency. Perhaps after Squall is born you can teach me how to be a better warrior and I can show you how to stitch wounds? Something to think about!
