Just in case

by Hasim Yilan

I am writing this in the event I do not return from our next battle. We are going directly into the maw of the beast to save my son so it’s a reasonable assumption. If I should die here know that I am at peace with it since this will not be the last time this world has to deal with me. I go now with my wish to save my wife. She is truly the greatest thing to ever happen to me and without her I am not fit to be a man let alone a father. Grimaldus, you have pledged my son to your order and I trust that it is now a matter of honor that you will keep him safe. Your homeland seems a wonderful place to raise a child and they would actually be able to handle him, if he is anything like me that is not an easy task. I know the boy has some great destiny and I can think of nowhere better to prepare him for it than with your people, I certainly would not be able too. Traveling with all of you has been fun, it’s nice to work with people that I can tolerate. Don’t worry Inera, I plan on beating the shit out of Dekar for leaving you when I find him. Inara I hope to see you again one day after I bring my wife back with me. She is a strong willed and passionate woman who would never let anyone tell her what to do, especially not me. I think you two would get along very well. Rowan I hope we will meet again too, I can’t wait to share the countless adventures we will both surly have. If my boy is a chosen one like you and gains even a little similarity to yourself, then I will be a proud man when I return. Cecelia I know your goal is impossible but so is mine so I am no one to judge. Just be sure this is not just what you feel you must do and this is truly what will make you happy. Revenge is fucking great but if it’s against the whole world you will never get to savor it. Alucard you seem fine. We haven’t gotten to know each other much but I do thank you greatly for the foundation you and your companions laid for how I will rescue my love.
I’ve actually written so so many letters like this in the past, it’s nice to know this one will actually be important to people beyond who gets my shit.
Good luck with the dragon, hopefully I won’t be seeing any of you too soon.
I understand the tradition of spoils from the fallen, I have partaken myself many times. I ask only that you leave one of my daggers with the boy, he will need all the help he can get, and it will help me find him when I return.
Thank you all for not killing me in the woods.
