A crisis of faith but the start of something new

by Kit

Dear Jer
 
It has been a while since I have spoken to you and I wanted to apologise for that. I will never forget you, even though our time was short. You showed me a lot of kindness and patience, and I loved you for that.
 
I mentioned that I was a follower of Karametra. A lot has happened that has caused me to question that faith. I am starting to think that the Gods all have personal agendas and that none of them deserve our complete devotion. Lhoris got that right - we should be asking a lot more questions. I am not sure that Arman even trusts Erebos, and I cannot see Keranos, Nylea and even Purphoros bringing a lot of happiness to my other friends. I hope I am wrong.
 
When I died, Karametra said something to me that has stuck with me. She said: "If your friends return life to your body, then we will have much to do together. If not, then I will choose another." It made me realise that to the Gods, even one as wonderful as I think Karametra is, mortals are replaceable and interchangeable. We are not special. If we do not serve a purpose, are we just worthless to them?
 
I think our goal in this world or in the previous one is to find happiness where we can.
 
Your mom once asked me why I married you and I told her it was because you treated me well and looked after me. She seemed disappointed by my answer. I am starting to understand that she wanted more for you, and I think for me too. It is a cliché, but I realise now that I was looking for a father figure and not a partner.
 
I have found someone else, and I do not know where exactly it will go or where it will end. He is stubborn and impulsive and proud. He makes me want to scream sometimes but we are good for each other. He makes me laugh but he also makes me think and reminds me that I do not always have to take life so seriously. It is never going to be easy - we are both strong willed and have a lot of baggage that we carry from our past. But it will be exciting, passionate and fun. I think we could make each other happy. That, or we could end up killing each other.
 
Love
Kit
