Future AU: letters to Inessa

[in_death_sacrifice]

Letters written by Kain to Inessa over the course of 9:43-9:44 Dragon. He carried them in a hidden pocket wherever he went, not noticing them after he lost his mind to red lyrium in mid-9:44. The letters were among the personal effects that were found on him after he was killed in Bloomingtide, 9:45.

All crossed out parts are generally scribbled or crossed over, but could be deciphered with a bit of work.

Inessa...

-You make my heart soar higher than the griffons
-Your hair is as soft as the gentlest? clouds, or like untouched? snowfall?
-You brighten my days like the brightest of magic spells
-Your eyes are intense and they see through my soul? heart? This seems too filled with gore?
-Your eyes are the ...eye? of the storm???
-Eyes just seem fitting in such writing, but I have no idea

When I hinted at my situation to my bard friend Edouard, he told me to try this in poetic language but I

I don't think I can do this.

What would even rhyme with Ness? Mess - no. Stress (Ness you spare me from stress?). Guess. (Guess how I feel?). Supress? (Iness, I can no longer supress) Confess. Bless

Bless you Ness, for being in my life
You bring me great comfort in times of strife
I confess to you Ness, the truth I've been hiding
my time I've been biding?
I love being near you and your mabari
For these words, I am sorry


No, no. No. Perhaps I shall take the words of another:
"when darkness comes
and swallows light
heed our words
and we shall rise"
Or is this too macabre? It's a favorite of mine, regardless. We fight that darkness together, after all. I couldn't survive it without you. We shall always rise together, Inessa.

This is immensely frivolous, I'll stop.
