Friday, 23 February 2007 at 16:59 Well, it has been a long time since that unfortunate encounter with Cory's prisoners. And when I look back on it, I should have been more carefull, to rush into things.
I have learned so much since that time. Above all to have faith in the choices I make. A path lies before all of us and while some steps may be more doubtful then others, it will still be the only path you'll take. My own steps have grown more steady now, especially since, totally unexpected, I recieved confirmation that my path was the right path for me. Though I've allways endeavoured to protect great and small, I would never have dreamt to actually become a part of the Order. Their acceptance of me has eased my mind, and never shall I doubt my path again, wherever it may lead.
It's an honor to protect the Queen, and the ceremony of the coronation was a sight for sore eyes. (Though maybe a few Valornian citizens were a bit 'too' excited, shouting things during the ceremony). Her ascension to the Throne has been a blessing. The absense of our King has been felt and people needed a rightful leader. My only worry is that she will undoubtly become a target of attacks now. She can handle herself though, and then off course, we will allways be there to protect her.
Despite this good news, and my feelings of joy and respect for our Queen,
I will miss Him though, my King. I fondly remember my conversations with Him, and since the ascension of our beloved Queen, memories are haunting me. I know I am not alone though. Others miss him too, even more.
I try to soften the wounds, and find joy in the memories, not regrets.
A ring has been given in my care, and I wear it proudly. When I look at it, strength fills my arms, because once, this ring belonged to King Deek. It was given to the Dear One, and now she entrusted it in my care. An act of faith that I will never forget, but also a symbol that finally, she is able to move on.
I've seen a smile from her, something I haven't seen in a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if her steps on her path grow firmer with every step she takes from now on.
