I just had to open my big fat mouth didn't I!? Just as I thought things were picking up, things were going smoothly, everything was falling into place, some over bloated, pompous, self important ass of a lion jumps in and ruins everything! What was Arthur thinking!? What was Baaga thinking!? How can these idiots not see what is right in front of them!? The Other King is coming and the end of our world is nigh if we don not band together and fight as one to stop it. Arthur, seemingly power drunk, actually scheming to assassinate Martin and turn the Raja to his side is just so utterly baffling after our discussion back in Stormont. Martin was even trying to save Arthur and the Queen's lives, he's not in this for power and glory but clearly Arthur is, he sees himself as the next ruler of the realm. I hope Martin truly puts that barbaric bastard in his place one day or I certainly will. Arthurs stupidity shows his lack of leadership, all the while Martin continues to grow.
This does throw a major spanner in the waterwheel for us though. Raman is now an enemy instead of an ally and Martin now talks of trying to gain the swamp dwellers support, as if they'd follow us. They're a mindless rabble of reptiles, they're murders and traitors, Martin would call upon them to fight? They believe in nothing and answer to no one. Though maybe they would answer to the King of Leondric's line. It's a long shot but if anyone can make it, it's Martin.
First however we must remain focused on attaining the ring from the Tomb of the Leonglings. Slowly but surely, one artefact at a time, we're getting there. I am a little concerned about me heading into the tomb however. It will be the first time that I'd have been anywhere near Edward for more than eight years and it is the final hurdle I must overcome, one last spectre of my past to face. I don't know if I'm ready, if I can overcome this. I believe I have accepted Edward's death but to actually see his resting place, to stand before it, I just don't know how I'll react. I pray I will remain strong, as Edward would want me too, and put aside my personal feelings and focus on the task at hand. Edward, now there is a lion that would not have suffered Arthur and the Raja's treachery. A true lion.
