Chapter 3
It's been six years since the day my heart was ripped out of my chest by her death, and our land, our world, has been thrown back into the arms of war. A war that has come borne in the wings of Zaibach and it's greed.
I have tried to keep our people, our country, safe for as long as I have had the strength. But I can feel my hour coming. And as I prepare myself for battle, I can only hope for you safety, my son. You're all that is left, all that will remain. So I beg of you: live.
That girl, the one from the Phantom Moon, has brought us hope. I just hope she can bring us victory, as well. If the fates allow..
Live, my son, so you may guide our people, live so you may be their hope.
I have tried to keep you safe, to keep you happy, but I fear that the mistakes I have committed may bring you pain. For that, my son, forgive me. I have tried to keep my promise, the one I gave your mother in her dying bed, but I my heart tells me I will leave it unfulfilled. I can feel my end approaching, and I deeply regret that I won't be at your side in days to come.
I once read this words in an ancient book, how ironic that they have come to give me comfort in the last hour of my life
"Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come."
I love you, my son. Never forget or doubt that.

AN: Yes! I finally finished this!!! Ok, so it took me a loooong time, but it's finally done. Hmm, it's been a while since I last watched Esca, so a few details may be of. Oh, and the quote at the end of this chapter is from Shakespeare.
