Dear future ruler of Kamo,

I have to confess some things. First, I have been cursed by lust, and it has begun to take a toll on me. I've been trying to use my power to resist, but the onslaught of thoughts and feelings has yet to settle down. This war inside my head has begun to cloud my judgment. It has already started to make me feel exhausted, and every night, the struggle intensifies. However, I am the High Druid and an enemy like this will be defeated, or I'll die trying. I have to be strong for my country and for its people. The second thing is that Princess Zera is to marry Kamos Longsword, a half-orc who is compassionate and kind to everyone including the servants. He asks how they are and talks with them as if he was one of them. I would applaud such humility if it weren't for the fact that he is not fully human. He is also not even royalty but some nobody from a border town in the middle of nowhere. It's honestly sickening to see him with Zera for she is far above such a man. She is worthy of so much. Even though I was on the council, I was always trying to find reasons to eliminate the foreign suitors. Only for this lowly wannabe man to come and win Zera's hand. It is the ultimate insult the half-orcs have ever done to us. I will not forget or forgive them for this. The last thing, I wish to address is the trial of a druid member. To summarize, he supposedly has been stealing temple money and spending it on prostitutes. It has been a long couple of days of hearing his plea for his life and to keep his status. However, the evidence is condemning. I will go into detail but, just trust me. With all that now off my chest I wish that the future isn't filled with such stupidity and selfishness. My hope is that your rule eliminates such things not just from the castle walls but from the country as a whole. I will write to you when the story further develops.

Dear future ruler of Kamo.

the war with lust is getting worse. You may have read my last message and wish to know who I lust for. Since I have been honest so far I might as well tell you. It is Princess Zera. Her beauty and status as the king's niece have made the war much more of a struggle. It also hasn't helped that her future husband, Kamos Longsword, is an unworthy foreign peasant. Anyway, I am ranting again, back to my point. My power has not been enough to stop lust's attacks. I am slowly becoming its prisoner and the only thing holding it back is this self-realization.

I will write again when the war shifts.

Dear future ruler of Kamo.

I have some regrettable news. The war with lust has not been going well. Every time I see Princess Zera all I want to do is take her away into the sunset and go into her. Such thoughts plague my mind and such feelings have only grown stronger. I have tried meditation by praying to the Great Lion Gods for wisdom and strength. have asked some trusted friends for some advice while keeping my battles secret and vague. For if such a secret is allowed to be spoken within these walls my position, my power, my status would surely be revoked and I will have nothing. All I ever worked for and sacrificed would be in vain, hence why I must win this fight, I must not let such evil fleshly desires be my downfall. My hope for writing this is so that if you are struggling with such a sin you are ever reassurance that you are far from alone and that such an enemy plagues even the strongest magicians. I will write again when the war shifts once again.

Dear future ruler of Kamo.

I have already voiced how I managed to kidnap Princess Zera. My relations with the necromancers have paid off and even though I am exiled I am at peace. I know at first I stated that I would find a more suitable husband for Zera, but that was so that I could throw the necromancers off my scent. They don't know what I plan to do to her. I don't even dare write it down just in case they become suspicious of me. All I'll say is tonight's dinner meeting will be a night none of us will forget. I will write about how it goes in the morning.

Dear future ruler of Kamo.

Last night was filled with drinking, eating, and the greatest act of sin I have ever committed. I told you how I had a plan. Well during the meeting I had Zera come out to show everyone that I had indeed had her in my possession and then I went on a spill on how our countries are one step closer to reuniting after so many centuries of rivalry and war. I then grabbed Zera and slammed her into the table and proceeded to go into her. I laughed the most evil vile laugh to be laughed. I ceased to be a man and instead began the dragon I was truly meant to be. Some of the necromancers felt betrayed, others were shocked, while the rest just watched in enjoyment seeing the Princess of Kamo be violated. Zera's screams and moans still echo in my ears. Now she is mine, now there is nothing to stop me from having her for myself. My true plans are now in motion. All I have to do is wait 9 months followed by 16 years then Kamo and the White Valleys will be untied, I'll have left my mark in history, and Kamo will have a pure-blood human as its ruler. My life now doesn't matter, everything I do now and in the future will be adding details to my legend. I will still write down my actions and adventures, but I want to finish by saying The Great Lion Gods have blessed me with this life and used my curse to speed up this story.
