Fantasy Fiction Sad

Dear future ruler of Kamo,

For a long time, I have tried to find a way to unite my country of Kamo with the White Valleys and their necromancers. Now, I have an idea. If I could somehow have a future heir to the throne of Kamo be raised in the White Valleys then perhaps this future heir, like you, could make this union a reality. However, for this to work Princess Zera's marriage with one of the half-orcs must not happen. As much as I like the idea of the Green Swamps and Kamo being untied, marriage is not the way to go. A half-orc, human hybrid should not be allowed to rule over their fellow humans. Only a pure human is capable of that. Hence why the necromancers are the better choice in my opinion.

Now, for this to work, I have to stage a horrible act of treason. I must help kidnap Princess Zera. She is the key to all of this because she is the niece of the now-sitting king, King Kamtoe. But, in order to do that I must know where and when her wedding is going to take place, I have to know where all the guards are going to be, and I have to figure out a way to escape without getting caught, I also need to find a way to get messages to the necromancers without having them traced back to me. Ahh, there are some many things, too many things.

Now as I am writing, I have realized that if I succeed I will have Zera to all to myself. No, no I can not let lust win. Not when I have too at stake. I hope you won't do not have to wage war with lust, my dear future heir. It is an enemy that will destroy your mind, soul, and body if it is left unopposed.

That is just another reason why I must spend the next month preparing myself mentally, physically, and spiritually, I must plan and gather as much information as I can. I've already spent so much time thinking of a way to make my dreams a reality and now I am closer than ever to achieving them. Even now as I write this I see how history will remember me, but if my plan works then perhaps it will look at me in a different light.

That is why this upcoming month might as well be the most important month of my life because after this there is no turning back, no forgiveness will be shone on me if I am caught, and no more will I be called the High Druid of Kamo, and the Great Lion Gods may condemn me to the lowest levels of torture, but I hope it will all be worth it because in the end, I do not just want this union to exist for the sake of it, I hope it will be strong enough to defeat the prophesied Noone. For the thought of a non-pure human, forever ruling Kamo's people is sickening to me. It may be a while before I can write to you again, but if I somehow succeed, the next time I write, I will tell you how it goes. Goodbye.

Katose, High Druid of Kamo

Dear future ruler of Kamo

I HAVE DONE IT! MY PLAN WORKED! After almost a month of planning, it worked far better than I expected it to. The Great Lion Gods heard my prayers and I have done it. I have kidnapped Zera and now she is in her room in my secret cave in the White Valleys. Now let me give a brief summary of the events.

First, I gathered as much information as I could on the guard posts and found an opening. It would be when Zera and her chosen husband, Kamos, exchange their vows. The magicians surprisingly did little to stop me when I entered my dragon form and rushed the alter. Luckily the wedding was outside in the courtyard of the castle. Which allowed me to dodge all the arrows and spells that were thrown at me. Let me tell you, I was right above all of them, on the tallest tower of the castle, looking down. My heart was throbbing with excitement and fear. Then I jumped down and swooped Zera off her feet. As I am writing I apologize in advance if my events are a bit out of order. I am just so excited, so filled with happiness knowing that my hard work is finally paying off.

Anyway, after I left the castle I hid in a village for a couple of days. Until my necromancer allies came and we snuck, Zera out of Kamo. We put her in a wheat sack and put in a wagon and treaded on horseback to my new home. I know what I have done is extremely evil in the eyes of my people and perhaps you, but I must remind you that when you are desperate enough any and all actions are on the table, whether or not they are immoral or illegal. Do what you think is right to help your people and country as I have done. Now all we have to do is pick the right man to be Zera's real husband. I and my friends have a set of standards a man must have in order to be the father of a future ruler of Kamo. He must be powerful in necromancer magic, he must be loyal to Zera, his country, and Kamo, he has to have proven himself time and time again that he is reliable, and finally, he must have a fundamental understanding of both the cultures and values of Kamo and the White Valleys. I can feel the joy of the people now, seeing their princess come back home with an undead army and a child. I now must get the bride and groom ready to meet each other and make their union a reality. Glory to the Great Lion Gods and their infinite wisdom and grace, for allowing these events to transpire. I do not yet know when I will write to you again, but hopefully soon after Zera has her child. Goodbye, and may the Great Lion Gods look down on you favorably, as they have with me.
