I do not own. This is a oneshot, but there is a backstory in the next chapter, should you read it.

-----------------

Dearest Kera,

If you are reading this, it means I have died fulfilling my duty. I do not want to leave you-the opposite, I want nothing more than to come back to you, to feel your arms around me again. Know, however, that I died fulfilling my duty, the way I always wanted to go-my life for Valdemar.

The Karsites are fierce warriors, hell-bent on the idea that we are demons. They again attack our land, determined to wipe us from the face of the earth. Kera, you must understand-I would give-gave-my life to my duty. When I am on circuit, I see the faces of the people. They trust the Heralds, and I would die before breaking that trust.

I dearly hope that you will never have to read this letter. It tears my heart in two, writing this even now. Even Ashera's love does not help (smeared word) sorry. Even Ashera's love does not help the space in my heart only you can fill.

Dearest Kera, I think of you every moment of the day and night. Know that I am watching over you from the Havens above. When the wind rushes through the grass of Companion's Field, it is my spirit whispering your name. When a cool draft of air brushes your cheek, it is my ghostly kiss.

Know that I will always, always love you, Kera, and I hope you will remember me always.

All my heart and more,

Jereven
