The torpor of my husband Nom

Greetings to you, citizens of Sapience
I might not be known to many of you for most of the time I tend
to stay for myself, especially lately after all what happened,
but this month I decided to speak up and most of all for my
husband Nom who is no longer here and will never be back.
Let me tell you about him, he was the most wonderful person
I have ever met and the love we felt for each other was able
to spreach across entire worlds and reach even other ones. He
was a very proud man too, a man with a very strong sense of
personal honour and integrity, he always lived after this, he
always taught this to his proteges and childes.
But he was vulnerable too and so it was finally this strong
sense of honour which battered and finally caused him to leave,
when his very own integrity was questioned, when he was blamed,
was questioned, even when his innocence was investigated later,
the destruction was done, he could no longer live with this, it
finally broke him and he stepped into his eternal grave.
Of course was I insane in my sorrow and grief, he took my mortal
and unmortal heart with me, I will never marry nor even love again
and when it is now said, I am even going to divorce him soon, now
after he is gone and let me tell you, this is not going to happen,
I was his closest friend, I was his mate, I was his fiance, bride
and wife and I am not going to change this, for I will stay married
to him forever. There will be no other man or woman for me after him.
And no, that I am the Head of his House now is for certain not because
I lusted after this and drove him into his torpor once I had it, for
would I had planned such and it would had happened a long time earlier.
He already offered me to be the Keeper of the old House Nachzeher, but
whenever he gave it to me and I returned it immediately to him and
those who were around then will surely remember that I speak the truth.
No, that I lead the House now is merely because I respected his very
last
wish not to let his dream die with him, the dream of a House in which
people of the most different believings and opinions are still able to
have respect for each other, to feel even friendship and that is why
our House had first the name Sunephileo which means nothing else then
'among friends'. And this is exactly what my sister Hisui and I will
put all our strength into now, to build such a House, as hommage to
him.
Those among you who know me and you might hopefully know me as a person
who might not be always easygoing, but for certain as a person you
always
can rely on, as a person who stands for her word. and those of you who
see in me nothing but a liar, let me tell you of my faith, my faith in
justice which will sooner or later reveal the entire truth.
And yes, I miss him terribly still, there is not a single moment in
which
he is out of my mind, out of my memories, and be assured, citizens of
all
Sapience, I would give up all power, all wealth, I would give up even my
place to become a Rogue to be hunted as such, would this bring him back
to
me, and into my life.
