I chuckled when I read your article because I did know what he was going to do and I did warn several people. They probably thought he was bluffing though (Khaseem, bluff?). But what else could I do about but die? Besides being whatever else he is (withholding my opinion *grin*) Even my grove is no match for Khaseem.
I guess you have to respect him for that, there aren't many who can claim that distiction.
I do think he should be mentioned since there is one person, maybe two, who we will never know now since he took it into his hands to end Celaabi's pregnancy. If he hadn't, well, I'm sure it would have been interesting to see what the child would have become and the effect he or she would have had on history. Besides the whole moral thing which I won't get into. And sadder still is the fact that he did it for spite of me. Such things are beyond my range of emotion, so all I can do is pity the poor man.
I am very very sorry I couldn't protect the Queen. I slept... If I'd been awake I could have just ejected until help came. I will probably replay that day over and over in my mind forever. If I'd awakened just a few moments sooner... but he'd have come back, I'm sure. One thing he is is determined.
To Khaseem- I'll never understand the hostility you've shown toward me these past few years. We were once somewhat friends, or at least friendly and I was one of the few people who really did like you. This grudge has hurt Armelia and my Queen which is just uncalled for. The one argument we had I thought we settled when I apologised. It's time to put an end to this. Kill me again if it makes you feel better. My anger at you from that day disappated years ago. My fury at my own deaths since never lasted more than a day or two. I used to really enjoy talking to you even though it was only once in blue moon and I swear I never wanted anything from you and I still don't. You don't have to be my friend or anything. Just set aside this grudge or hatred or whatever so I can stop being bummed over it and you can move on to people who actually deserve your hatred.
So if making a public spectical of myself hasn't proven my sincerity, I don't know what will. There you have it.
Penned by my hand on the 18th of Daedalan, in the year 259 AF.
