So to the west I must go.
And soon after that challenge is done with, I can finally go home.
Epilogue
Atlas
Dearest brother,
I hope this letter finds you well and in good spirits.
For what I am about to confide requires a patient heart and a cool, collected mind to fully understand its meaning. I pray to the gods that this letter finds you in such a mood, for I fear the alternative.
I have never been one to measure my words, therefore I won’t insult you by doing it now.
The rumors are true.
I have failed you, dear brother.
In our quest for vengeance and mayhem, I lost sight of my purpose and discarded it in favor of a new one—a better one. One that just might be the answer to our deepest desires—to undo years of tyranny without shedding one drop of innocent blood.
I don’t need to be standing by your side to know that your interest has been piqued, as has your pessimistic nature, finding such a promise all but false.
But hear me now, and hear me true, sweet brother.
I am no liar.
Nor have I ever been.
So if I tell you I have found another way to bring us the peace that we so crave, then it’s because I have.
Katrina is our way.
Our only way to ensure union and everlasting peace to our people and our kingdoms.
Katrina is still ours, Atlas.
In every way that counts, she is still the girl we were devoted to in all ways.
I vow that it is true.
Do not continue on this path of revenge, for the target in question is not at fault.
A daughter should not be held accountable for the father’s sins.
Neither should a son.
Welcome our love and protect her in the west so she may return home to me.
This I beg of you, Atlas.
Please.
Let no harm come to her, for she is my heart.
The same heart that loves you like my own flesh and blood.
Swear it to me true, and I will believe you.
