My Final Words You

[Sora4591]

If you're reading this, it means that I am no longer here. My Story in the Book of Giants has finally come to an end. Looking back at my tale it has been one that revealed some of my greatest joy and also my greatest sorrow. Yet, I back track and look at my first statement. "I want to be a legend across Meranthe that will be known across the land." Maybe I did achieve some of that, but it is subjective. I just want you to stand in my shoes. 

Early life was my fondest, watching my sistir Idunn become the independent woman that Amier could be proud of. My Brodir Stienar, I hate to say I was always jealous of you. Outspoken and bold in all that you do. Then there was Jolnir, being younger than me, but my uncle was the Giant I aspired to be. Powerful and ready to take on every challenge in the sense of the word. I guess at some point I was always following until they were all...

Gone...

The World may know me as Jarl Aeric Wilkinsson. I was a former Commander of Londo, a Warrior of Aegis, and I was once a Death Knight. If they would have their way, you would only know me as the Oathbreaker.  Shame came with that, and it was something I dealt with in my last days. I was also a man who fought against the Fel in every step risking life and limb. I fought for my family because that was a promise that I made when I was young. I just didn't realize my family would extend from my bloodline, but also to the people that stood by me.

I held that promise and I've lost limbs and suffered in many ways that a man's body can be torn in half. I have taken an idea that no one sought to complete and brought it too life. I became a man of faith utilizing all that my modir taught me and became a Radiant of the very God that she worshipped. Did I have all the answers? No. Did I stumble at times? I did so much. I was indecisive and I doubted my leadership at times. I am...I was not perfect.

The Journey of becoming a true giant is perhaps where my heartache begins and ends. Doing everything and working hard to try and achieve a dream I believe my modir wished to see. Maybe Amier was with me on that journey. Maybe, he wasn't with me and was with another but in the end I did try.

Avoiding rambling on, I think this last half is for you. This is for my family. You've seen the extent I am willing to go for you and I hope that even after I am gone that it will remain the same. I wasn't the easiest to deal with, but I know that you all would've gone to war for me a million times over. Dok, Dainn, and Astrid, take care of one another and even if you fight amongst one another make sure you make up and come back together. I wasn't the best of fadir's, but I was proud to have watched you all grow as much as I could. I've taken our last name Wilkinsson and Thorruhn, and done things the best that I could. 

Now..it's your turn
