Ok, ok. You can stop sending me messages.
I amend:
Before I die I’ll make sure to cut Azazel into tiny chunks since he doesn’t have a head for me to take.

I have been told my entire life by a Goddess, directly, that when her dark reflection comes back into the world I need to stop him. I will not let anyone get between me and my Goddess-Given Duty. Azazel wants to devour the world? I can't stop Tyranny if he does.
So Azazel can fuck right off.
I'll be waiting.
Sword in Hand.
I've died for Gloria before.
I'll do it again if I must, but like Tolamar Brand. I'm going to cut Azazel's fucking head off first.

There is nothing more I would like than to ride out and raise my sword against the legion, but I know I have made the right choice to stay and protect the city and the king.

Never been impaled before, that hurt, but was kind of fun. 2/10, do not recommend.

Relationship Note on Titus
As the Paladin of Gloria who cut off Brand’s head, I’m all about honorable combat and seeing the humanity in our enemies…
But before you speak on an enemy you might want to actually know something about that enemy.

I'm back from Bastion after a long 'vacation'. Though in reality I just spent the entire time training and hitting soft things with sharp things. It was nice to get back to what I'm good at, and a nice reminder that I can't let myself go soft or lose my edge... I can't let Gloria or the Grayson name down. Not that I don't enjoy the life I've created -- I just can't let myself get too distracted by pleasantries.

I came home tonight to a message from Prince Niklas about my Asharion playing 'Alarice and A'kioh' with one of his cousins, and some hurt feelings happening. I quite remember that game myself. Meanwhile, my oldest son, Tiber was in the library reading books with my ward Aniyah.

I never imagined being called terrible could sound so loving. I'm fairly confident I've tricked her into thinking I'm charming.
Pretty sure, anyway.

Are you -sure- we can't foster one of the children? I think Tiber and Hudson are kindred souls.

I am slowly getting the children all fostered out to good homes. It is a somewhat painful process for me... But I know that I can't keep them all with me forever. They deserve actual homes.
Even when Carter bites me or when Xavier drops something onto my head from the top of the stairs... Or when Hudson shouts the roof down because he has no inside voice now that ... now that he is allowed to be loud again.
I worry for older children, many have asked me to foster the young ones and to be sure there are many who need loving homes.. But I worry for poor Livia who is afraid of strangers still, and must be coaxed into speaking, and Larin who is quietly intense and insists he'll be a member of the Inquisition when he grows up. And Levi, our little prankster.

My son turned one years old today... Tomorrow is his mother's birthday. My duties are keeping me too busy to lavish them both with gifts, but I'll do it soon. Hopefully they'll both forgive me.

I'm going to take a trip up to Bastian soon to look into some old family history. I can't wait to fall down an old trapdoor and discover some ancient lost sword!
...Tikva tells me that that is not likely to happen. OHWELL.

Relationship Note on Tikva
Our boy will be a year old in less than a month's time. I held him this evening while he slept peacefully. He looked so sweet. He can be a terror when he is awake, for he is louder than even our beloved Tiber. I broke up an "argument" between the two of them the other night while you were out taking care of one duty or another-- It went something like this:
Tiber: Ash!
Asharion: Ty'errr! (He tries but he can't quite say Tiber's name yet.)
Tiber: ASH!
Asharion: AAUUURRR!!
Tiber: ROOARR!
Asharion: AAAAHHH!!!!
TIber: ROOARRR!
I was worried they'd do that for the rest of the night... So I distracted Asharion with that smiling potato (who gave that to you?) and Tiber with dinner.
It's hard to believe it has been a year. This amazing, loud boy we made was born almost a year ago. It seems to have passed in the blink of an eye. Will it be like this for his entire life? Will I look back one day and he will be a full grown man? No longer tucked up against my chest, sucking on his thumb (I know I'm supposed to stop him from doing that but it's too precious), sleeping quietly after screaming his head off for an hour?
I am torn-- I don't want him to change from this precious child he is, but at the same time ... I cannot wait to see the man that was raise together.
Will he take to the sword? To archery? To neither? Will he sing like his mother? Will he have my *terrible* sense of humor? What will he take from us and what will he forge new?
Here's to our first here with him, and to many more to come.

The children are ready for homes, they would even like to have homes... families. It would be cruel of me to keep them still-- I can't devote, forever, the amount of time they need. And my own children are not restful companions for children who need a lot of human attention, but gentle... oh so gentle and quietly calm attention.
But gods as my witnesses, these children will break me. Giving them over into the care of others...
I must do it, for their well being.
But I don't like it one bit.

Relationship Note on Thorley
*An excerpt from a letter to Sir Thorley Sandreef, from Prince Ainsley Grayson.*
However, there was line in your journal I would like to address (and I'll do this publicly as well). I am loathed to be labeled 'the chosen Champion of Gloria'. This suggests an exclusivity that I do not claim. While it is true that Gloria has touched my life, I am not the only one she has touched. Whether you believe that it was a figurative or a literal hand in my life and the lives of others. I am not the only one beloved by Gloria.
She is like a stern mother with many children and she loves them all equally. There are a lot of us and many who know her better than I. Blessed Cassandra, I would wager, has a closer relationship with Chivalry than I. Brother Preston as well.
We- not I -are Gloria's Champions and her Beloved.
