I do not think.
I cannot think, or maybe I will not let myself think - I know that if I think about this, it will be too late. Ajax and I cannot both survive this, for he will surely be killed if I wait any longer. I can't see any other way around this. Maybe I can save one of us.
I hope it is him, not I.
I am not brave. I am cowardly. For what reason do I have to live if he is gone?
I take a deep, shaky breath, and clench my fists tightly. I am terrified, shaking, biting back the tears, but I must do the right thing. It is the only way. I never thought it would end like this. I hope death is kind to me. I do not fear death itself, more the pain while I am still living. I have tried to lead a good life. I trust the Gods. It is me that I don't trust. Can I really do this? But I must.
I hope that Atropos is stopped. I owe my father so much, he has done such a lot for me over the years. I hope he knows just how much I am grateful for that.
I hope that my death is worth it, that Ajax is given enough time to gain the advantage. I hope that he overthrows Atropos, and that he isn't hurt.
And above all, I hope that, one day, he can forgive me.
