Ivan, who was the Helianthus.
I'd hoped to face the fucker in battle with all his strength. Not many Serpents remain alive with so many battles survived as he had. It would have been quite the fucking fight.
But the Wind cares not for the hopes of men.

Was there an axe involved in the death of Ivan Helianthus? If so, perhaps it was us, though we are rarely so subtle about the demise of those who threaten the Compact.

I shall shed no tears for the passing of the apostate known as Ivan Helianthus. He denied the gods and the Church and raised his banners in rebellion against his rightful liege. The history of the Compact and especially of the Lyceum is rife with what happens to such men.
I pray that his soul returned to the Wheel to be better situated for right choices in his next life.
As for the misguided wailing of the men who burned the Great Cathedral, killed Beloved Orazio and named himself a false dominus...
It is not too late for repentance.
To those who followed these heretics in the misguided belief that their traditions were more important than the guidance of the holy church:
Come back to the faithful. Forgiveness is possible. You need not be trapped by false choices. The Church is here for you. The Star of the Faith is here. The heart of the Faith is here. The priests of your mothers and fathers are here. The shrines you went to when you were a child are here.
One wrong choice does not define all future paths. Choose again. You can. I believe in you.

Relationship Note on Mihaly
I got a pillow thrown at me for having Mihaly inducted into the League of Stoic Husbands. Harrumph, I say.

So as part of my desire to see my new units in House Riven better prepared for coming conflict, Thea and I decided to host war games. Then we decided, why the fuck not open it up?
So now we're hosting a mock battle for anyone who wants to come with their soldiers, as long as they have padded blades and safe blunted padded arrows. Buzz is huge apparently because a generous Grayson sponsor has donated amazing prizes to reward our best tacticians and commanders. Soldiers are ALSO invited to come fight if they feel like bashing someone with a boffer sword under command of a general.
I'm excited. Not only is this fun, it will allow us to prepare our soldiers for ground engagements which we know will be coming.

Something is going on. All these people are saying all these things about me! They are good things.. but.. Where did all this come from? I don't know whether to bask in the glow or to go hide under a rock and hiss like a cat.

I was taking my daily normal run about the woods the other day. Yeah I know, you're not shocked. But this wasn't like the normal walks! Because I swear the sky EXPLODED! It grew dark and and it was like the spirits or gods just cried! Mangata must be angry, or sad, or something! I loved the rain, I did! There were loud claps of thunder, like the sound of drums. But scholar, here is the strange part. There was NO LIGHTNING! There is usually lightning! But there wasn't, just loud thunder and cold pouring rain.
But suddenly, it stopped. Just like that. Like it sucked into the ground. It formed some weird funnel thing and disappeared! I ran back out from the woods and headed home. I doubt anyone noticed my muddy footprints.

I am looking forward to a romp in the woods, which we will hopefully get to do in the near future. Perhaps we should consider another cow racing party.

I have two moods, and two moods only
One is joyful, one is lonely
Loving life or crushed so small
Between these points I freely fall
I never know just where I'll land
And I'm not a thing I understand
When I'm told I should embrace this
All I can think is "Thanks, I hate it."

Disciples of Skald, A Litany
Destiny is dead
My fate is not written
My choices are my own
I give no counsel on decisions
I reveal the paths but do not mark them
Accept no bonds which cannot be broken
No Fetters. No Masters. No Writs.
Choice is our blessing
Where it is absent, deliver it
Where there are chains, break them
To Slavery, bring justice
To his Victims, give succor
My fate is not written
My choices are my own

I have learned that dancing in the mud during a storm may be the norm for us, though can be frowned upon by others. I don't know how to explain the thrill of finding a large puddle and finding a sudden need to jump in and kick the water around for a moment. The droplets flying back towards the sky as the rain falls heavily, or the traces and globs of mud that come along with it all.

That was a strange storm the other night. I walked into Princess Sabella's looking like I just stepped from the baths. Thankfully, she was swift in handing me a towel. Come to find out, the storm passed like a drain just as fast as it started. The brunch was nice so I supposed the torrential and strange weather was worth it.

Apparently people are saying nice things about me? This has me totally confused. I must be slipping in my old age to be respected more than feared. I'm joking, of course. It's always good to get recognition for the shit I do but I don't need it. I just need to know my efforts pay off in the saving of lives. Seeing a patient - soldier or civilian, return to their families is enough for me. Knowing people have food and shelter and Gild knows what-other aspects of civilization is enough. Every little thing is a candle in the darkness. I prefer lighting fires, metaphorically speaking, but I'm glad just to know there's people out there who are sleeping easier tonight because of the things I did for them.
