To my…

What has happened to me this past long while?

A knight has much to relearn about these duties. I cannot say I’ve enjoyed the flow. And not that there is anything wrong with the flow at all, rather I’ve forgotten how to sail along with these winds. Or should I say, I’ve forgotten that no wind blows the exact same, and that I should not let the same worries trouble me now that I’ve caught a different breeze.

She is young. Father above, she is young. But that does not change the beautiful grace I know she will eventually behold once she can finally spread her wings. So let’s just say that I’ve been rather impatient – a poor quality – with her transformation. And who am I to rush her? I’ve not yet even earned back my own wings. Silly fool. Feel the flow, will you!

My apologies, my darling. My impatience has gotten the better of me. It has been centuries since I’ve had the honour to swear my honour to a queen. And so I wish to ask you once again for your blessings. Some light and strength would help this dull knight. Some patience and flow would serve me much better, to be honest. Or is it wrong for me to still ask the angels above these divine requests? To ask you? Do you see the internal fog I’m struggling to clear? Grant me a moments respite. Please.

I fell down to these worlds quite earlier than expected. It’s almost as if I left her behind. Does she feel that way? Or does she truly not recognize me in this physical form? Either way, I came down here first. And the centuries long have taught me much about the many obstacles to face down on these plains. I’ve learned a whole lot. And it seems it was not all for nothing. Life lead me upon all those roads to build my wisdom. And with this wisdom, I can now teach her the ways of these worlds. So long as she is willing to learn.

That’s what I must be patient with.

She must have never expected for us to finally reunite down here. I must admit, I too had forgotten our promise. Life down here is quite noisy. It’s easy to forget the oaths of the other realms. It’s easy to forget the other realms altogether. Why else does everybody down here seem so blind.

But again. I must calm my spirit. I must be patient. I must remember to enjoy the light. I must remember the adventure of guiding her upon her journey. I must always remember that this too is my journey as much as hers. So, smile, I must. Or else I will suffer, much like the rest of the lambs down here. No more of that.

I await her now, to finish her earthly duties. I will take her hand and enjoy the beauty that she is. Balanced in Yang and in Yin, I will revel in the wonder that is her and I. We will dance to the delight that is us.

Grant us your blessings, my darling.

Love from yours truly,

-Daniel Roy
