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.

Comments

Bloomingtide, 9:44 [Kain's handwriting has deteriorated further, sloppy and barely looks the same]

Ness I don't know how long I have. Ness, I'm deeply sorry. I've failed. I am losing this battle. I've failed you and Garahel both. Whatever happens now, please remember me as I was and not

I waited too long, I confessed too late. Now I pay the ultimate price. Should I say a thing at all? Or would this just wound you further when the inevitable happens? "When darkness comes, and swallows light, heed our words and..."

Please, take care of yourself, and take care of Garahel. I cherish you both. I love you. That will remain true, whatever happens to me. Remember that. Remember me.
