Oh, my dear Aetolians...
My time here has been the happiest that I could ever want it to be... I
have grown so much in my life here, and I have all of you to thank for
that... good _and_ bad
There are things... things I cannot say here, that will prevent me from
ever, ever returning, and to all who will miss me, I am truly sorry...
On a second thought... in many, many years from now, I might be able to
return...but that time will be far from now, if at all
-sighs and begins to cry- Oh, everyone... each and every one of you has
made an impression on me, mostly for the better, and I cannot thank you
enough for it. Please do leave me messages, it will be a few months
before my final departure, and I hope to see each of you who wants to
bid me farewell...
and if there was a way I could stay, believe me, I would, but it is out
of my grasp, out of my control.
Aryen, love... I am yours forever, there is not a soul alive who I love
more.
My children... oh Gods, I love you all so much, my eyes haven't enough
tears to cry over the loss of you...each and every one of you is in my
heart, and that will be preserved here, by Varian's will, until the end
of the world as we know it.
All my friends, I hold you close to me now as I always do, one final
time that I can hear your voices, one final time I can shake your hands,
hug you, be near you...
My dear guild, Sentinels, those who I would do anything for, walk in the
eyes of Lord Haern always, and whenever you hunt, score one for me,
won't you?

to my Ordermates, and Khepri, you are the gem of Aetolia, You are its
life, its mirth, and the spirit that binds us all together. We need not
be Your followers to have a bit of Your spirit within us.
There isn't much more I can say, my voice trembles with sorrow at the
mere thought of leaving, but quivers and quakes at the reality of it...
this is true, and I wish I could say "Wait, never mind, I'm back!"...but
that won't be happening...
Please, do try to remember me, as I will always remember you

With much love... I leave you all...
