Addendum
I imagine that you found this part of my story predictable and somewhat annoying, Elliot, but it’s necessary for you to understand what motivates me further along.
Looking back on it now, I can say without a doubt that I was a whiny brat. We’ve all, however, been young at one point or another. Don’t worry. I’ll grow out of it.
Hearing about Pheniks as anything but a monster probably bothered you as well, but everyone comes from somewhere. My brother wasn’t always a mass murderer. He became that person over decades, in small part because of me, and I’ve never forgiven myself for it.
But enough of self-deprecation and regret. We should continue with the story.
You’ll find a gap between the last chapter and what follows. After I accepted my new position, several years of training began, and nothing of significance occurred during them except…
Well, you’ll see.
The next part is about the first upheaval in my life as the Lokke Vitras to come. I’ll warn you, Elliot. You’ll find at least one part of the next few hours horrific. Just remember, my love, that the man you’re hearing about in this story isn’t me.
Not yet.
