This Castle is not the Castle I hold in my heart

[Ser_Arikon]

There was an age, before most of you, which inspired people to draw, and write, act, and enjoy life. That age died long ago. I thank those of you who have tried to revive it and wish it could have been successful, as do many others who have gone before me. I know this isn't exactly a convenient time for me to be leaving, but I have faith in my fellow Sentry and the Royal Guard. I wish to leave a few messages to specific people, so for those of you who just don’t care, you can skip to the bottom of this scroll.

To Lucus, Cordon, and Gunn,
I honestly do not believe you three to be evil, or wish to kill any innocent people. I believe you are extremists and are going about this all wrong. Perhaps you are confused in some aspects; perhaps you need to explain yourself and your actions in more detail. If your cause is right and just, and you explain it with events and actions of those of higher up that support your cause, then perhaps people will understand. The method in which you have gone about this is all wrong though. You have lowered yourself to the level of traitors and criminals; you have gone against the edict of the Queen herself, an edict put in place to stop people from carelessly, or stupidly, getting themselves killed. Secondly, joining forces, or even cooperating with the Shadows lowers your honor even further, to the point of anything you say will pretty much be dismissed now. The Shadows wish nothing but harm and chaos upon every denizen and even the Queen herself, to even involve yourselves with such a thing, I cannot even put into words how despicable that is. That is my words to you.

To those I have hurt,
Honestly there are a few of you that deserved it, some that I didn’t mean to, and others it was my fault entirely. I do apologize though, for making your lives in Marrach harder than it had to be. I know from experience how much happiness means in a place that has turned to depression and sadness. My advice to you all is to let things go, in Marrach we live forever and forever is a very long time to hold hate and contempt for someone and it will only blacken your soul.

To my fellow Sentrymen (and women),
You are all my family, even though some of you are quite odd, Tre. Be strong, be tough, learn, develop, and prosper. Find new recruits and strengthen our numbers. Show those in the Inner that we can control our Bailey, even though we got the short end of the deal being on top of the Under and all. I love you all and wish you nothing but success. I will miss you all.

To my friends and those I call family,
There are not many of you left, you have all preceded me in departing though some of you I was glad to see return recently. I love you all and will forever remember you. Be happy.

To Janwin,
Stop being suicidal.

I have been awake in this Castle now for approximately four years with periods of sleep in between. I have been a part of Marrach for over six years and I have seen it change, and change, and change. The saddest part is that is has only changed for the worse. Most of you who will be reading this will not understand why I say that and I am glad because the Marrach of today is the only Marrach you know and you have chosen to live here yet still. I only hope that you do not experience it how I have. I will not reflect on the great times, or the horrible times because you do not need to hear about them. Live your lives as you want, don’t give into pressure, work, stress, positions, rank, fancy clothing, bossy nobles, and especially don’t give into people that only want to see you fail.

This is my farewell. I may return, but it will be in a new age, hopefully a better one, one where people enjoy life everyday and not just a select few. I wish you all happiness, luck, and love.

Simply,
Acorn

Fare thee well, Acorn. Whilst never could we say we were friends, there were some enjoyable moments. Be at peace, go to your rests with strength, honor and dignity, and perhaps someday wake again to see this fair Castle with new eyes once more.

Dearest Acorn, I can understand where you're coming from, but I still wish to see where you're headed. I'm saddened by this sudden announcement as I had hoped in such a time as this, that you would at least send me a short missive personally. I will keep you in my thoughts, surrounded by the memories created and only hope that one day we will have the chance to make more.

Know that I do not fault you for this decision, but I shall keep an eye alert for developments.
