Hey, everyone. Sorry again for everything I did. I really wish I could say that it wasn’t me doing all of that, that Rune was controlling me—but he wasn’t. Sure, I had his ambitions and memories guiding me, but I could’ve stopped. I could’ve asked for help. I could’ve done a lot of things differently. But you all still trusted me. You saved me. And you didn’t have to. But… Mary. Again, I’m not trying to place blame where it doesn’t belong, but Mary is the one who turned my latent ambitions into a sense of purpose.
A few years ago, before Eden returned, I had a meeting with Mary, and she told me all about who I “really” was. How inside me slept a universal truth, a gift from God, a higher purpose—a Divine calling. It was all lies, of course, but I really believed her. Then she used me to advance her research and bolster her cult—and look where that got her, trapped in Eve’s webs. I suppose she never expected my ambitions to outweigh her own. Oh well. I’m not suggesting we try and save her. She deserves to be a snack for the Widow.
Even though I’m gone, and Mary’s gone, the Kings of Roses persist. Though they are wilting, it’s time we prune them once and for all. Of the remaining Kings, only two pose any real threat of seizing control and reforming the Kings—Zach Rannagom and Algani Bathetume. Though, thankfully the two aren’t working together. They can’t. It’s not in their nature. They only served me because I had the will to control both of them, but I doubt either has the will to fully subdue the other. Of the two, the most pressing of them right now is Algani. I fear he’ll attempt to use his captives for further sacrifice.
