My newest cousin, I see such great things in your future. I cannot tell you how happy I am to have you here in my house.

Wise and honorable.
And the exact opposite of everyone I spent most of my life with until I came to this city.

Relationship Note on Donella
It seems the same ghosts continue to haunt both of us.
Every time I feel as if they've been laid to rest, every time I feel as if they should be at peace they rise up again to remind me they are not and justice still needs to be done for them.

The new question is, what will I now do with criminals?
Murderers, violent criminals, major thieves.
I suppose I shall have to hire an executioner.

If one sits around waiting for a solution to fall into their lap they will die of old age, starvation or war.
Presented with a platter of unpleasant choices one should choose the one they can stomach most or go into the kitchen and make a new option for themselves.

There is no pain like the loss of family and perhaps, short of loosing a child, a sibling cuts deepest.
Even all these years having past, them having been dead more of my life than they were alive, I wonder about my brothers and my sister. Every now and then it sneaks up on me what it would have been like for Victoria and Alexander to grow up with a gaggle of cousins in their nursery around them as I did in my early years... and then I remember they would never be had the others lived.
Like sculptures of wood and stone, we are defined by what is carved from us; each whittling cut both bringing us closer to our final form, and removing us further from our natural state.

Bunnies?
We fight glass sharks, squid horse monsters and walking/crawling/swimming dead and come home to rabid bunnies?
I miss my boat already.

I have been on a boat so long even when I lay in my bed at the Tower now I still feel the waves moving, rocking my body.
At first it was unnerving, but now I realize it is the salt in my blood, having been woken up for being where it was meant to be.

If I die:
Lady Catalana is to stay on at the Tyde Tower as long as she wishes to tutor Lady Victoria as she grows into adulthood. My Aeterna outfit shall also be given to her.
Prince Gideon and his family may also remain in Tyde Tower as long as they wish, may he support my son in learning to be the Thrax man I know he will be.
Princess Reese may have my iridescite ring, it's not pink but I hope she will wear it any how and remember me
Prince Galen may have my Serpent Knot cuff
Prince Luca may have my flask, and in the event it goes with me into the next life he may also have my alcohol. All of it.
Princess Alarissa may have my iridecite circlet
Lady Lethe may have all of my clothes not other wise spoken for
Princess Donella is to have my polar bear fur cloak
To High Lord Victus - there is a letter that has been left in my chest of drawers for you
My mother's moonstone ring, and my diamond plate dagger are to be held in keeping for my daughter, Victoria
My rubicund axe is to be held for my son - His name is on a slip of paper in my chest of drawers, please give it to him when he's ready
Everything else may be dispersed by my husband as he sees fit. May he serve as a wise regent until Victoria, the future Duchess of Tyde, comes of age to over see the holdings herself.

This is perhaps the most unlady like thing I have ever committed to ink but I do believe I would be a happier and more care free person if I had the leeway to punch/stab/choke anyone who annoys me.
I envy the Thrax men sometimes.

I find myself oddly grateful for this impending doom lingering off the coast as I see those who are usually distracted by their differences, putting them aside to work together.
When we come back from this mission, and we will come back from it, I hope they can remember that these people who they distrusted because they believe different things, or live differently or were born in a different place, had their backs, and their sides, and spilt blood along side of them and that they are forever tied to each other for that.
If that can be carried over from the fray, we will have one two victories.

A son.
As old fashioned as it seems, I finally feel the future is more solid.
For Tyde. For the Mourning Isles. A son.

I am glad we met, and look forwards to getting to know you better.
