Addendum
Korix and I seemed like a terrible match for many reasons.
First of all, he was my teacher, and some thought that a relationship between us would make him go easier on me with my training.
It… did not. At all.
And of course, no one liked the idea of the Lokke Vitras loving someone, even if he refused to say those precious, three words.
But in each other, we found a common spark. I always loved what little time we had together.
Mother Time, I miss him.
Of course, we had our problems, but they were never the ones that people assumed. When Korix’s instability became known to the public, especially after he relinquished the position of Lokke Vitras and we could call it battle fatigue, people would praise me for staying with him.
They never understood. While I hated that he suffered as much as he did, I enjoyed helping Korix. Something about it fulfilled me.
Then again, I may just have a thing for damaged men. As you’ve admitted on several occasions, you fit into that category, Elliot. To be fair, I started falling for you long before the events that now have you seeing the silhouettes of the people you’ve killed.
And as I’ve said many times over our years together, I’ve killed a lot of people too. I think you can truly understand that now.
Fyester… Mother Time, I regret everything that led to his death even now, decades later.
I’m sorry if hearing about that disturbed you. I plan on giving you the full truth of me, travesties and all, and we haven’t touched a fraction of the horrible things that I’ve done. I wouldn’t blame you if you set this account aside now.
But if you don’t, you’re about to start the opening act of the events that made me the Lokke Vitras.
Once again, I’ve skipped several years. Nothing of significance occurred during them, although I probably should have paid more attention to certain clues that I ignored at the time.
The only hint I’ll give you of what comes next is that this version of me is about to meet a very special someone, someone I love to this day.
I hope you like her. I certainly do.
