A Knights Letter Home
Dearest Love,
I am putting this to paper now as I have the time, to let thee know How it is with me. I have only just arrived at the point of battle. It Looks to be not an enjoyable thing.
My commander has given me leave to write to thee, and I find that it is hard to express to thee the
thoughts an emotions that this place, this time, is instilling in me, my Lady, and I am filled with a sense of dread in this hour.
I have returned to this point of this, as I could not see thee before I left. I was filled with hopelessnes
As I found that while I was away last, even though I wore thy promise, that thou wed another…and left me to my devices….and I walked away knowing that one who was mine, is and would never be. And now thee knows as well that My King has ordered me to wed as well, and I have obeyed His command.
I do not love her, but will be a husband to her. As long as I have breath in my body.
Thy marriage has shaken me My Lady and I do not truly care if I live until I return…I have no true life in me….thou has removed my hope, and my life from me…and I will never know why thou had done such a thing…truly I will never know as you gave me your promise to await my return to thee.
By the time that thou receives this, I will no longer be in this place. I have been ordered to take my command, and attack the enemy, and break the defenses or die in the attempt. I have ordered my men, not to stop anyone from coming tome for battle, as I feel the need to engage in the fighting…and I hope to clear myself of the feelings of anger, loss, and of my love for thee….and maybe gain back my soul. Thou has had it long enough methinks…and I will no longer allow it to rule me… as it so oft has.
Goodbye Dear Lady, I wish thee much joy, and happiness in thy new Life..
Ever thine no longer….. Michael, Dragon Knight First Order
Two months later word came to His lady of his Death in Battle. This is written as it came to me, and hides some of the feelings I have for women I have loved, lost and mourned. And makes me glad to be alive and capable of loving again…when it is time to love.
