Castles Made of Glass
Part Two: Dear Jake...
I think with teary eyes
Of you my love on this dark night
I recall my time with you
In lonely rooms of saddest blue
Love and loss entwine
To never fall into the light
And my feelings true
Shall never rest until I die with you"
--Bella Morte "One Winter's Night"
It is so good to hear from you again, Jake. Life here on the other side of the world has not been too easy here myself. Not since Minister Prozen released Raven onto the Republic. Raven has a hard time distinguishing whose ally and whose foe. The medical bays have been filled with many people, most of them don't live to see the sunrise. It's a sad sight, I almost broke down once. I cannot bash Major Schubaltz the way you do, he is a great soldier and a better leader than most. Not only is he very very pretty and dreamy, but out his entire batallion, only 9 have died. 9, Jake!! Even more amazing that there are barely any wounded. Even if he doesn't retreat his troops, he's a warlord in the making. I am not too fond of his second in command, Marcus though. He's a real snake, I hate his guts. He rather risk losing the troops than saving their lives. I hate that, so does Karl. But on the other hand, Karl's lieutenant, Leon Aethelwulf likes to smack Marcus around like what he calls a '2 dollar whore'. Leon don't take nothing from no one except one person-- Karl. But Karl is too nice and gentlemanlike to slap someone as steadfast about what he wants. Karl and Leon are almost always inseparable, it's scary in a way, but in a lot more, they make the cute couple. And Leon is less tolerant of Captain Rob Hermann than Karl is, he'll put Hermann in a pinebox if he even looks at him cross-eyed. But he'll be even quicker about it if Hermann gives Karl the cross-eyed look. Despite this, Leon is an easy-going guy. He's got a great sense of humor and loves to make Karl laugh or blush, maybe both. I swear, he's the only one who CAN get Karl to laugh. There is another person Leon is dsitrustful toward and that is Minister Prozen himself. Prozen and Leon have very bad friction toward each other, Leon knows more about Prozen than he's letting up on. But he's got that hinting that he won't hesitate to spill his guts if it meant putting Prozen in his place-- which is six feet in a cold grave. The only reason Leon hadn't killed Prozen yet is because he wants to pinch out where the location of Emperor Rudolph is. Leon is as loyal to the boy Emperor as Karl is, which is very... Also Leon likes to what he refers to as 'MST3King' Prozen's speeches and lectures. MST3K is a weird show from his world, a man and two robots sit in front of a screen and make fun of bad movies. Sounds like so much fun, let's do that sometime when the borders are down, please, Jake? There's also another person here that I can't seem to tolerate often. Her name is Hardin, she has pink hair and a bad temper. She slapped me once because I had to put her arm in a cast. She's evil and cruel and she treats my staff like dirt, and she's in love with Prozen. If there was one person, other than Marcus, that I hated, Jake, it's definately her. Hardin and Prozen deserve each other. :p I love to hear from you, Jake. Can't wait for another letter! Love ya!
Yours Forever,
Kenshirou
