Dear Mother (I hope you don't mind me calling you that),

There's so much I wish I could sit down and explain. There are so many apologies I wish I could say and beg your forgiveness for. Amora's elder sister freed me from Thanos's dungeons, but at a price. One cannot trap their own blood, so she made a deal with me: If I agreed to trap Amora, then she would tell me how to save you. 

I didn't want to pass such an opportunity. 

Amora had somehow made herself mortal between the time she left you and joined Thanos. She was not happy with her long life apparently, but for the remainder of her years, she will spend it with her sister. One must pay their debts. 

And I must pay mine. 

For Loreli also made me agree to go with her, to be her apprentice. I have powers not unlike a witch and she wants me at her side. I do not think she is anyone to worry about; she may actually serve as an ally in the future. 

I am so sorry for your losses today. 

I will miss him dearly, as he had become my best friend. I loved him, though I wish he could have been loved by his parents. 

I cannot ask for forgiveness for taking him away from you. And I never will. Because I can never forgive myself for that.

I wish I could go back and change a lot of things. I wish I could have gotten to know you and been loved by you. Maybe our paths will cross again one day. You made me see that I truly had a choice to do the right thing, and from now on, I hope I can do just that. 

May Asgard prosper under your rule, 

love Talia,

your daughter.
