I was so filled with certainty about our mission, our duty to the world as one of it’s keepers but now everything is different now. It all began with Claire’s death. When that bolt of lightning hit the church she was in, prying god, begging him to protect me in battle. When I first heard of her death, I felt my heart breaking into pieces.
I remember my first thought; I remember it as clear as the sky is blue. I begged death to take me as well but then, when I heard it was not an accident, when I heard that bolt of lightning was magically engendered by one of these witches, sadness and pain were wiped swiftly! Anger and hate took me, and my thirst for revenge awakened.
Like a fire inside, driving me mad, I started seeking for the murderer of my beloved, my queen. Yet as if this tragedy was not enough, I had to face something of proportional magnitude. Vann, my best, my only friend, my brother in arms had turned against me, fooled by the evil witch. He kept yelling her innocence at me but I did not believe him.
I remember her eyes when I burned her, when the flames of revenge burned her flesh to ashes. Yes maybe she was innocent ! Maybe I made a mistake but I felt better after she died or at least for a little while.
Killing her 100 times would not bring me back my beloved one. But I would have killed her a thousand times knowing that a part of my pain was released into those flames. I am not asking you for forgiveness my friend as I had to take your life as well. I just hope next time we meet, we won’t have to face each other again. You will probably never read these lines but I will keep this as a personal record in the archives of the Order.
Let’s hope time will not erase these words my friend so when you come back in your next life, you will understand why I did what I did to you...
I will move on, many witches still roam the world and I swear all of them will share the same fate as her's! All of them will die as it’s the only comfort my heart finds from loosing you and Claire, the only thing that makes me forget how miserable I feel. Hopefully one of these battles will reunite us in heaven ...
