Chapter 11 -- His Lordship of Kenrath ; Part eight

'...Gah, I sound so foolish. Too sappy. I just know you smirked at my attempt at romantic language. Ha, I can see your smile in my mind. Wish I could see it in person. You would brighten my day, Nat, in this dark hole. War is not glory, lass. I have fought seven skirmishes with the Kathirans already; they press ever closer. Some have even found a way over the mountains and now they harass us from two sides. We are hard-put to defend. This will likely be my last letter for a while, as they threaten to cut off our supply lines. If Dath has a message for me, tell him to send it with someone dangerous. No one else will be able to get through. This war will be over some time, Natalya. And when it is, I will come home to you. I promise. And when I come, I have something to tell you. But I don't want to say here, on impersonal paper. I want to tell you in person. So, until then,

Finding reasons to love you, Kedemar ad Myrena'
