“Sirani, Godess of love and joy, protector of hearts, harbinger of peace... my Lady!
I can’t belief, this is how it has to be! Can’t they see this path will lead to our utmost doom?
I won’t give up! I shall fulfil my sacred vow to you and your sister! I’ll do everything, not to fail you!
Things have been set in motion and I hope, I did and do the right thing with this.
Please, open their hearts, let them see the truth!
Help me stop this insanity in your name, before it is too late!
I’m just your humble servant, seeking your guidance…
Please, Oh Goddess, give me strength and serenity…
I can’t let this happen!”
She stays silent, kneeling humbly for a few minutes, before getting up again and sitting at her desk. She takes a deep breath, before starting to write one last parchment.
She sends out a dove to trusted halflings, to deliver it to the right places to be seen. Then she cuddles up with Lil on her bed, burying her face in the dog’s fur, whispering rather desperately.
A Plea to Reason
To everyone involved,
things have badly gotten out of hand. Things were said and done, that can’t be taken back, I am aware of this. But please, everyone, step back for a moment and think about what I have to say.
The actions and events of the past days might bring more harm, than any demonic attack on Mas could do! Can’t you see it?! We are used to waves of demons, running havoc! There is no such thing yet, which I’m grateful for! But instead, something even worse happens! We all are tense to the limits. Mistakes lead to heavy argue and separation. Aggression and mistrust get the better of us! Can’t you see what is going on? It is like our worst feeling turn up on us! We are about to destroy ourselves and make way for darkness!
We can be so much more, so much better than this! Don’t fall for the darkness! Don’t fall for anger, bride or fear! Don’t seek ones at fault! This is not the time! This is the point to step back and reflect.
It is not too late, yet! I still believe in the people of Illarion! Don’t let the darkness get the better of you! We all make mistakes and yes, some wounds might never heal. We all have dark spots within our hearts, nothing to be ashamed of. But don’t let it get the better of you! It does not excuse anything said or done. But it is on us, to stop this!
Please, hear my plea! Step back and think, everyone! Don’t let us be separated like this! Else, the real enemy will win!
I beg you!
