An Invitation To Afar

Seemos

Yesterday, I caught a transmission from my good old buddie Spaz. I haven't heard from the hard working goblin a really good time, so I was happy to hear his voice even if it was, once again, needing my help with something out of the blue (nothing a few directed adjustments couldn't solve with his own hands). 

While the problem was solved quite quickly, we talked for long, very long, and he told me about this idea he had been brewing for some time about making something akin to a little version of AxisKeep on our homeplane with the hope of allowing other promising candidates to achieve what I did. I told him one of my students was having a similar idea and the interest on him rose up to the point of inviting me to come Vaanh G'Raan, a place beyond the seas of The Known World.

Long after our chat was over, I remained brooding. All that I know is here, all my memories, all my deeds, all I love but, also, all that intends to kill me... is here. As I look back at my beloved StarHill reduced to ruins and the meager life I lead at The Yellow Tower deep in the Marushtal Desert, away from the sight of sea and wave, surrounded by unwelcoming faces and haunting past deeds, the idea of departing to colder horizons where the blizzard may take away my past and trap my undesired memories in ice doesn't sounds too unnappealing.

This, however, doesn't suits Niireme'a at all, as one would imagine. Being a creature of sun and warmth, Niireme'a would have a dire time surviving in such an unforgiving land which only the hardened of skin and those of inner heat can endure, so the very proposal of me departing to such parts has nearly shaken her to pieces, even when it was merely an offer and far from being a reality. I tried my best to console her and reassure her that everything is going to be fine and that, even if our paths part, love needs not to die, even if it needs to take different names and shapes. However, it has been hard, very hard, on her and she is digesting it one swallow at a time.

She might not believe it, but the idea of leaving her side tears me apart as well, but someone here needs to be the voice of reason and calm, and it seems cosmos has putted such a burden on my shoulders. After all, she deserves a far better life than this, she really does and, if by leaving her side I can grant her such, I'll do so without hesitation. She deserves that much from me.
