If the Warden is not the noble dwarf...

My Lord Harrowmont,

My guilt weighs heavily on me, and I know now that I was a fool. Only a fool would cut out his own heart and burn it for the sake of appearances. I allowed the Assembly to send my child to exile and death because I feared an inquiry into Trian's murder would taint our house with scandal. You have been my rock and my shield these long months and for that I thank you. But I must ask for one thing more. I wish to discover if my child survived. Even the smallest trace will set my mind at ease. Send your men, your scouts, anyone who will go!

Bhelen thinks I am mad. He says that if word spreads of my wish, our House will be undone. He doesn't know that Aeducan is already lost. I destroyed us when I sacrificed what was most precious. Please, Pyral, help me. I come to you not as a king, but as a father.

—A note from the late King Endrin Aeducan.

If the Warden is the noble dwarf...

Perhaps you will burn this letter unread. For that, I would not blame you. But I would not return to the Stone without saying this to you: I have seen what Bhelen is. And when I saw it, I knew I had been a fool. For only a fool would cut out his own heart and burn it for the sake of appearances. I never believed in your guilt. I allowed you to be exiled because I feared an inquiry into Trian's murder would taint our house with scandal in the eyes of the deshyrs and cost our family the throne.

But I have saved nothing by this sacrifice: I sent my only child into an uncertain exile. Know that whatever you do now, you bear all the honor and pride of House Aeducan.

a waterlogged house

there was a flood that never left, leaving the floors soggy and damp. you are afraid to change the floorboards, afraid of change in general. you try to fix the bubbling wallpaper and wear rain boots to the lower levels. at least you are kept cool by the water.

           SEND ME TWO CHARACTERS AND I'LL TELL YOU WHICH ONE MINE WOULD SAVE FROM CERTAIN DEATH        

LMAO....... this would absolutely psychologically break j’onn all over again. There is no choosing between his children, he’d probably choose to die himself in their place instead. like obviously he’d rather save one of them rather than let them both die but i dont think j’onn would live with failing either of them. Like..........

he cant choose but khym he’s already mourned once and to save her only for her to slip beyond his fingers once more? ouch. but mac is obviously also his son and did absolutely nothing wrong and was unplanned, but definitely not unwanted!!!!!!!!!!! and to feel like he has to value one of his kids more than the other.. or choke and lose them both :(. its awful. it’s awful , and he’d hate himself for the rest of his life .
