''I try to write as often as I can, but lately it was not in my power to create the time to do so. Therefore these pages have remained empty for several days, perhaps even weeks.
A lot has happened since the last time I wrote. Some people are no more whilst others seem to escape death. Baedwulf is one of them. We came to another stand off and this time he hurt her too. The dagger meant for me missed, and struck Erian instead. It made us both fall off of the horse and Abrianna fell down worse than me. She was bleeding, that was all I cared for at that moment. His future was sealed, death was going to be his remedy.
And so, after a moment of thought and conversation, I sought to seal his fate. Dagger were drawn and a fight ensued, what would soon turn out to be the end of Baedwulf. I can go into details, but it matters little. Either he didn't expect it, or was hoping for it, but the blow I could strike with my dagger, digging it deep into his leg, was the only one I needed. A black coat always surrounds the daggers I use, and the poison soon made its way through his veins into his heart, shutting down his entire system.
All he could do was breath and endure the pain. Poison is often considered as cowardice, but people always underestimate the significance of such an item in the line of work I find myself in, and this time it worked again.
He dropped to the ground and that was it, his life was in my hands and he knew what was coming. And so I did, I plunged my dagger deep into his neck to take his life, for he tried to take ours. I saw his eyes close, his breathing stop, he was no more.
Abrianna was devistated. She blamed me for his death even after I told her so many times that he was the one responsible for her wound. He tried to kill the one she loved. Did her friendship with him mean more than our love? I would soon find out it did..
Yet again, I am not going to tread into details, as they are of no importance to anyone but me. And I know you will read this, as you always do. You check on me, I am aware of it. I am not sure whether you do not trust me, or it is your frightening desire to know everything. Yes Father, I think it is both.
She left me for good. After so many times telling me she would, going so far to make herself stop feeling, she finally took the last decision. I wasn't completely unaware of this coming, I had a feeling he was still alive. No local had seen his body being buried, nor being carried away. It was like he faded from this earth, but I would soon find out this was far from the truth.
He had survived our ordeal and had regained contact with Abrianna. I believe that his influence made her decide to do it. His love for her was greater than his sense of honour. It was over, and I was left with the pain. But I wouldn't give up entirely, I wouldn't let her leave me by letting me know through Shorey. It did not take long before I found out where she was, Combe. And there I stood, in the shimmer of the light glowing from the candle, my tunic was almost shining. My face still shadowed by my hood, I let her know of my presence. She didn't seem surprised. In fact, I think she was expecting me. I was angry and confused at the same time. I knew my goal was clear, she was a blight and I have always cured those. Yes Father, I followed your instructions, to the letter, but yet I failed.
She and I talked, I told her that I was here to grant her the wish she had been begging for. Death would be her sweet remedy, as she always wanted. So there I stood, the dagger you gave me in my right hand and still I could not do it. I had to forgive her, there was no other option. She does not deserve the fate you have bested on her, Father. She is not one of them, not like Geothand, or Baedwulf.
After I had thrown the letter she had written me into the fire, without looking at it, I told her I loved her and I left, without further word. This was it, she could now spend her life as she wished it to be, but not with Baedwulf, he is still mine. Of that, Shorey and I are sure.
Goodbye sweet Abrianna, I am happy you choose me for your game.''
