the firestarters always get the burns
and the good guys never get the girl
I’d always planned on going to Nerine again some day, as Breckin used to be my friend and I don’t think she would have appointed Heartfire if she didn’t believe she would do well - but Kagerus had spoken to the newest Khaleesi and there had been no need for me to go as well.
And then suddenly I needed to take the Cove’s crown. Unfortunately, with Pangea being a neglected mess, I would like to say things escalated quickly for me. Castile in a ‘we need unrest’ mood, is not one that benefited my short rule at all. Neither did Litotes’ hatred of me, which I don’t understand still. But we agreed to disagree and not disturb one another. That’s something, I guess. Just not what I had hoped to pass on.
Still I cannot neglect the North, and I refuse to pass on the crown without making sure our former alliance continues. My daughter grew up here. In fact, she died here too, though that had been an accident I could forgive whoever had started that chain of events for, since she bounced back - always will.
Certain things can’t be predicted, certain things are best said out loud instead of understood by using another’s vision. So I am here; a hello and a goodbye all in one. They’ve already met Dawn, when she was still a child in so many ways - I am certain they understand why I saw so much potential in her.
@[Heartfire] short but sweet I hope!
