An excerpt of a letter left written in the darkness of a home gone silent.

"By the time you all read this, I assure you I'm already long gone. I was given an offering by an anonymous messenger, but I'm sure you know who. Or, at least two of you, that is. I'm sorry, but I cannot sit around and allow you all to help the people who wanted my head on a pike. You don't know the reality of the people who seek your hand in support even when I've attempted to have you see it from my way.

I don't know what side you think you're on, but if you really cared, then you would've been on mine. Your ignorance alone was enough to speak your choices. I want to be someone strong enough, someone respectable enough, for you to believe in. So, I want you to watch these coming days closely. I want to show you just how worthy I am."
