But you will think me facetious. Pray then allow me to speak plain.


My dearest friend, in whom I trust without hesitation, without doubt─

Come what may, I know you will strive on.

You will strive, and in the end you will triumph, on this journey and the next, and the next, and the next.

And when you have fought the good fight, only to find, yet again, that it is not enough─

I will be there.

This I promise. This I swear.


Beyond darkest night waits a new dawn. I pray you greet her with a smile.


Your friend,

Haurchefant Greystone
