A note left for Aelin Erevos the night of Månenøye
litla systir,
I'm leaving.
This is no proper good-bye and I know that. You are owed more than this from me. So much more. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for a great many things and the nature of our parting is only the latest on that list.
I'm sorry for Hljóðleva. That I could not protect you
I'm sorry I did not bring you to find Durin or if you feel there is some debt owed for the small part I played in finding your sisters.
I'm sorry I could not see this through to the end with you but you are better served by the others. Brynjar, Gerwald, Gustaf, they will not let you down, I know this. Trust them. Care for them and please let them care for you. Your burden is not one you should carry alone.
I could spend a thousand lifetimes and never come close to doing for you what you did for me. litla systir you lifted me from the depths of shadow and despair. You saw me at my lowest and yet you did not turn from me. You let me be a Wolf again. You brought me home. A place I never thought to see again. I held my mother in my arms again thanks to you and that is what makes this so hard.
I am sorry you wasted your time on me litla systir. I'm sorry that the creature you met on Hutta in those pits turned out to be the truth of who I am.
