Day Six - A Secret
So a day late for this one but here it is! The letter part I actually wrote a year ago but never shared it and I did like it enough that i wanted to post it. I wrote up the first part today so its not totally all old work XD anyways please enjoy Ilthildris, the worlds okay-est Demon Hunter
Ithildris closed the bottle of ink after signing the letter. He wasn't going to give a real goodbye. He didn't want to see their faces when he did so. He didn't want the last look from his family to be either hatred or shame. This way, with a secret letter he could say goodbye and still keep a loving look in his mind.
His decision was final. Even him considering this had been something he kept to himself. He would follow Illidan. Azeroth needed protection and he would follow a plan of action to actually do something.
He carefully folded the letter and put it in the false bottom drawer. He wasn't sure why but he couldn’t just leave it out on the desk to be found.
--- To my loving family, First, I want to say how much I love you all. I know it may not seem it with my choices and that you may not actually see this letter. Whether from cowardice or just unwillingness to let it be seen, know I truly mean the words written here. I am unsure if this choice is really the best one out there, but it is the one I have made. I have decided to become a Demon Hunter. I'm sorry. I just want to see you all safe. I want to do something to protect you. I would give my life for my family. I will risk everything for you all. An'da, I know this will upset you the most. I just hope... You'll still love me? I'll love you even if you decide you don't love me anymore. I would understand if you didn't. Thank you for all you have given me. The knowledge you shared, the languages, the stories, and most importantly, the understanding that not all choices are easy and go in our favor. Min'da, I know you'll love me no matter what. That I'll always be your Little Acorn. Thank you for teaching me to have courage no matter what. Even when your back is to the wall and your blade broken. I feel like my back is to the wall now. So I did as you taught me. Stand strong and fight. I'm going to fight until my last breath. Aeria. Ria, I know you. Don't blame yourself. In no way is this your fault. I love you. We'll always be close right? Twins are supposed to always be close. We won't be able to hug but I'll be wishing we could. Sanai. What is there to say? I know you have made up your mind already and you hate me. You're as stubborn as Min'da with that. I don't deserve forgiveness, but can I at least request you still know I love and care about you? I'm proud of you, Warden Earthgrove. Avivia. Little Vivi. You're so young but I hope you understand everything going on. I love you with all my heart and I will keep you safe. I promise. I want to see you grow up and be as brilliant and wonderful as I know you are. You are going to do such wonderful things with your life. Goodbye everyone. This is no ones fault but my own. Don't blame yourself or be angry. Please. I just want to do what's best for my family. Elune's eternal moonlight be with you. I love you all so much. -Ithildris Earthwalker.
