My dear son.....
How I wish I could see you complete your training and become a true ranger!
I have not nearly spend as much time with you as I hoped I would. I hope you will keep me in your mind when my day comes.
I hope... You will not forget the things I did to keep you safe. The battles I fought for our family..
Take care of mother.... She will need you if times get harsh. Dúchans death has been very hard on us all. But especial on her. Sevirath is not able to fight yet after he saw his brother... dead...
I am going to get him back...
Back home with us....
You are the man of the house now...
Make me proud like you always do... Keep our kin safe.
Do not try to be the ranger I was... but become your own legend....
I am sure one day they will speak of your great deeds....
What faith awaits me in Angmar, I do not know.....
But what ever happens, I want you to Carry on..
For me,
For mother,
For Sevirath and Dúchan
Never give up on what we gave you. Never give up on your family no matter what.
Befriend those you meet, but keep yourself a secret to them.
Only those you can truly trust, who you know everything of... Only trust them with your true name.
I'll leave you my bow and my dagger.... when the day comes... Take them with you in battle.
Be I slain then mourn not.. for I will always look down upon you from the northern lights.
I shall guard your sleep as a specter just beyond your vision.
I shall grand you victory in battle... as the bow you shall wield.
Though know this...
Times will be harsh my son... days will grow darker and you skill will be put to the test. But you will be ready.. You will become a great ranger, a good father, and a loyal husband one day. I know you will.....
The time has come for me to depart...
Remember....
I love you Sigfread........ I always have and always will.
May a star shine upon the day of our reunion.
