The imperturbable poet

Introduction

Don't disturb me, except for a matter of life and death. In that case, and only in that case, write your name on this list and explain in less than 1000 words if you want to threaten me or to warn me of danger. I will probably answer you in the next three days.

Cunclusion

You're the one who forced the hand of everyone dear to me. Dante's treason breaks my heart, but it doesn't surprise me. Aldain's treason, however, makes me want to rip out my heart, divide it into ten equal pieces, and get a messenger to take one to him every year for a decade, so that he remembers my death. I knew he quit Lord Komeras's court, but I didn't think he was capable of abandoning his brothers. Go on, kill me! You've taken my illusions; they've withered completely, like flowers even pigs wouldn't deign to eat. Take this money and let me drown in this liquid, suddenly so bitter.
