Angus the liar,


So at long last you can't even manage honesty, something you had in 
abundance.  I told Despyria that I would come if you wanted what you 
claimed to her that you did want.  I am my own woman and Despyria would 
have nothing of me other than what my heart desired.  You know this and 
you knew this all along.  Your Mistress is Outer Tilog?  How noble of 
you.  How heroic.  How high can you stack it?  Your own cause is you it 
seems at long last.  Your greed has created a forked tongue that was 
never present in you before.  You show yourself to be less than what you 
could be.  You are at long last just a politician, the reason that I 
left Outer Tilog.

Good Bye, there is no place in heaven or hell for politicians,

/*Alynna

*Alynna finished the message sent it on its way.  She called her 
stewards and gave them their instructions.  She marched down to the 
cellar and banished Despyria's followers from her house and Valentia.  
She spoke at great length with the owner of the house and when it was 
over she mercifully took his life and paid his family handsomely for the 
property and his suffering.

Alynna had cried the last of her tears over a man she no longer knew... 
maybe one day he would find himself, but she had her doubts.  At long 
last she was free of the only person who ever had sway over her life... 
she wrote one more note;

/Mother,

Thank you for the effort you have made on my behalf.  I should have 
never doubted you, the Angus I knew would have never done what he did 
and would have never responded as he did.  I am sorry you efforts have 
been in vain but I have lost my desire to return to Outer Tilog and to 
the life I so loved with Angus... it appears his greedy for power that 
he would have never taken from Moira has changed him irrevocably.  This 
is not what I want, and not what Eryn needs.  It is sad that for such a 
great man he has so lost sight of what made him great that he barely 
holds onto what should without a doubt be his.  I will not watch the man 
I love destroy himself.  I will not return to Outer Tilog as was my 
sincerest wish.

Your Daughter,

/*Alynna*/
