Princess Yrsa Idril.
Ser Hael Sterling.
Life is the sea on which they both sail upon. Their ships have set off from different shores, headed undoubtedly for different destinations. One sails East and the other West. Yet, the same wind fills both sails, carrying them over the harsh, salty waves. The name of such a wind? Duty. Both accept this wind, for their ships would surely sink if they do not. Though after endlessly sailing, what does one do when they find they have been voyaging in the wrong direction? Perhaps it is too late to change course. Perhaps the storm of fate is brewing, patiently waiting to drown them both. Or perhaps, they should simply keep sailing. For if you sail far enough East, West will find you.
