Goodbye From a Druid

Lords and Ladies of all the duels,

I thank you for the memories. After all the crowns, I had but one reason to remain. My True Love. I hurt her, and I cannot win her back. If I have a legacy, let it be this one piece of advice... If you love someone truly, hold on and don't let go.

Blessings of Twilight,
Eros

Reads, shaking her head. Then pens a reply.

You will be missed Eros. You have many friends here. I am sorry we could nae work things out, but I cannae continue as we have been. Too much has happened, too many others have been involved. I do love you, I just cannae continue to be married to and live with you. I will miss the friendship we once had and hope you find what you are seeking someday. I will tell the children of you, I will nae speak ill of you to them or anyone else. I wish you
peace and that you find that which you seek. My appearance will be changing so that you are nae constantly reminded and I will nae be about the Arena or Isle much aside from work should you decide ta return. You are a good man Eros and I will always love you, tis sad the Dream became a nightmare. Be well, careful and safe. Love is only as true as the two involved, it tears my heart that only one of us held to that truth. I am sorry for any pain I
caused you in the past and that things could nae be as I believe they were meant ta be. I hope you will return one day and become again part of the sports you loved so well and see your children grow. Until then...may the gods watch over your journey and keep you safe. And the stars and twilight bring you comfort as you go on alone.
I am sorry Eros...it should nae have ended as it has.

Mystik

Tears in her eyes, she walks away slowly, this the last she will say of her marriage to him and how and why it ended, hoping that others will respect that and allow her to begin to build a new life. Her heart aching as she enters the cabin, pulling Andi into her lap, rocking gently as with tears she tries to find a way to tell their daughter that her Da is gone. Wondering how she will explain to her and Marz as they grow older..... thinking life
has never been easy, but love should never have been as hard as it was.....

Druid, last night I was present when others were trying to convince you to stay. I did not partake in the argument, I too know how overwhelming the heart can be. I hope you will return Eros, and my thoughts turn to the poetry I am sure we will share when you do. We have had our differences, but you have been a wonderful friend and are a good man.
I hope you find what you are looking for and my best wishes go with you.

Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore -
Till the dirges of his Hope just that melancholy burden bore,
That of Never - Nevermore...

...Thus, on the morrow he will leave me, as other friends have flown before... And my soul from out that shadow shall be lifted, nevermore."

Did she just basically imply that he'll never see his own kids?

No Cas, actually I distinctly remember saying that I hoped he would return to see his children grow. However, I guess since tis Eros leaving and he is your friend you will find some way to blame all of this on me. I have a few words for those who will choose ta do that. Make sure you know all before you condemn. I was true and I was nae the one that ended this with finality. Aye, I am the one petetioning the Wardens for divorcement. I am nae the one
who brought things to this point. Nae matter, all will think what they will.

Cassius,

I do not think she implied that. I am honored by your loyal friendship. Myst has done nothing wrong.

"He's off to hug trees somewhere else, eh?" Janella observed, reading.

"It sounds like he got caught with his green thumb in the wrong garden."

With a toss of her head, she walked away, smirking.

Why does monogamy and love have to be synonymous?... why does one automatically imply the other? Do we live in such unenlightend times that we cannot conceive that one might truly, deeply, and sincerely love one person, while retaining the capacity to still enjoy many kinds of relationships with others?

Whomever originally pushed this ideal, while wonderfully influential, I suspect was extremely unattractive as well as wrong. It's a sweet "ideal" to pledge one's body to a beloved other, "forever", but hardly practical, and clearly not desirable in the long run. For example, I use the history of infidelity all about us...much of it on the sly, but we talk, and we all know.


Now here once again we have someone leaving, broken hearts reflected all over the boards, children Fatherless and families left to grieve ....all this drama and for what? I'm not questioning the pain of this or any relationship. Individual promises were given, trust exchanged...and violated. I am wondering aloud however as to why monogamy was, and continues to be for most people, seized upon as the ideal illusion of the ultimate definition of the
status of a relationship.

Hah, why's monogamy and love gotta be synonymous? Well, lemme repeat a few words a pal of mine once said. He said "There's no better a gift to the one ya love for expressing how much ya cherish her than your very body and soul. How special is someone's love for ya anyway if'n everyone else is free to experience it as well?"

Don't really understand the thing myself. Plus he's dead, but tha's another story. 'Sides, I'm surprised ya even use the word "love" round here what with all the hopping whores ya seem to got running round this place.

I will not judge whether love alone should be monogamous, but a love that drives one to marriage should *always* be as such. If one doesn't want to be monogamous, they shouldn't get married.
