“I’ve done an awful lot of soul-searching since last we spoke, and I finally believe that I am ready to let go of the past. Make no mistake, from here it will be a hard journey for me, and I will never forget the harsh and bitter lessons that life has dealt me.”
“Although I will never see my beloved Tundra or little Aurora again in this life, I have come to realise that neither of them would have wanted me to live my life in the misery that I have inadvertently forced upon myself for all these long millennia.”
“I have been lost to madness and grief far too many times in my far too long of a life, and many times to rage and anguish. But here and now, child, I vow to live in their memory, to ensure that they may never be forgotten.”
“Thus, I vow to begin anew, and live a happier life in the knowledge that I would have their blessing to do just that.”
“But before I get too emotional, I just wanted to thank you, dearie. For being there for me, for calming me when I go too far, for holding me and comforting me when I’ve cried those most icy of tears. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t think I could ever have gotten to this point. You have been my rock since I came to the Crystal Empire, and you have absolutely no idea how much I appreciate every last thing that you have done for me.”
“It was only recently that I realised that I… I had fallen in love with you, and that was something that I never thought that I would ever be able to do again. But know this; I know that if Tundra and Aurora are watching, wherever they may be, that they would approve of my feelings towards you.”
“I know not where life will lead us in the future, but… in the meantime, I would like it very much if you would accompany me, and perhaps one day, if you would make me your mare.”
