It's only been a day since Aaron sacrificed himself to get Garroth out of the irene dimension and destroy Zane it seems as Aphmau is still grieving over Aaron katelyn a woman who's been there for a long time wants to help her will she help Aphmau w...
Aphmau heads home taking care of lilith not forgetting the days events against ivy. "Maybe I could write but I'm in the chapter where I met him. no I should it might help me cope ok..." She pulls out the book and opened it a piece of paper slipping out.
Aphmau,
I'm sorry for what I'm about to do to you. When I lost my village, my family, I never knew I could let anyone else in, or even become part of someone's life I've been broken since that day. But then I got involved with you, your life, I do not regret the time I spent with you, what happened between us that day doesn't make this any easier, but everything I said and did were true, Please never doubt that. I cannot lose you-- I will not lose my new family. I cannot stop you from opening the irene portal. I know what Garroth means to you, I know that you will try to bring him back, and I know that we would lose you.
Don't worry about me. I don't do this for revenge. My death, wasn't wasted on a horrible man, but a good one.
You are an amazing lord, lord without anyone's guidance as lords we learn to smile through the darkness. To guide those who follow us. Mourning over my death will bring nothing but pain to those around you it hard, but if you can't find a way to smile for your people, then smile for me.
I'll always be with you,
-Aaron
Tears well up in Aphmau's eyes as she realizes they need to move on. Tula is making moves. She sighs getting ready in clothes then after dressed looks down on Aaron's bandana.

She wraps his bandana around her wrist sheathing her sword "zoey I need you to take care of lilith." Zoey nods as aphmau walks out. "Garroth is everyone gathered at kiki's barn?" "Yes lady aphmau but why do you still acknowledge me after all I've done?" "Garroth our past does not define us but this moment these moments where everything has gone wrong these moments define ourselves, how we pick ourselves up." He nods following her.
She walks to the Lord house where Levin lives. Levin sighs bags under his eyes. "Well I we lay more guards at the walls maybe it can help us." "Yeah but they have a great many ships and we're just one village they'll be looking for mom." "Boys am i interrupting something?" "No we're good mom what's up?" "I have come to inform you I will be departing and I also will send Brendan over he can help build up defenses for all of you." "Mom but your building the capital for the alliance." "Levin I'm your mother and you are an ally plus he's from this village if he knew he would want to be here you have to not let you pride get in the way of what's important..." "F-fine I guess you're right..." " Now I need to go I love you boys." She hugs them. Then walks off to the barn.
She meets with the others
"Before we speak of why I called you all I want to thank you all for being here and helping through it." Katelyn nods, "it's no problem you were there when I was grieving jeffrey so anytime." "Of course you've helped every one of us so naturally we needed to repay for your kindness." Lucinda speaks travis sighs "anytime but can we stop the sentimental it isn't my thing." Katelyn slaps travis upside his head "say it again to her and it's your face." She whispered in his ear.
