Dame Thena though is one of those unique people with whom I can fully be myself. I remember her taking oaths, at a time when I was still a young knight trying to prove himself. I wasn't sure if I trusted her then with my Faith. I was wrong. We quickly grew to be friends, feeling like great crusaders for the Faith militant against the lethargy of others. I have told many times the story of the planning meeting while we were arranging matters before Stormwall, and where Dame Thena and I felt we were being ignored and we joked about flipping over the table just so they would pay attention. As it was gruffly barking did it. But. In that she and I were of a mind - to wake the Compact from its slumber, on the need for us to prepare. We held charity events together - admittedly I think both of us had little skill for organising us, and thank you to the many who supported us. We fought together. We bled together. When she needs help I give it, and when I need help she does. Never any questions asked 'What do you need?'. When I call her little sister, some feel it is diminutive - it was never so. She is what I imagined having a sibling might be like - that closeness, that undying personal loyalty to one another, and yes that ability at times to drives each other crazy but never to truly mind it. So, if on her travels Dame Thena needs the help of any of the Templars, I hope they will give it freely and without question, knowing she has my total faith. Without her here in Arx, we are weakened - though we are lucky she left behind a sturdy and capable successor.
So good journey friends, to wherever it is your mission takes you. You both, in your own ways, challenged my thoughts - and while you never overturned my beliefs, I'd like to hope we each learned from one another and changed for the better. And I shall long for the day when you return to Arx, no doubt riding through the gate with Thena pretending she has hardly missed but a day and questioning what all the fuss is about.

This is a journey I never thought I would take, not even when I was a little girl. I only hope that I will not disappoint those that now share it with me.

It's made me realize how many things in Arx I miss - places and people both - and I look forward to getting out and about again soon.

Lord Theron and Prince Niklas joined us as well, and the prince mentioned at one point, that it was good to know that if pirates attacked, other pirates would come to aid. Aye, the traditions of my House cannot be describe better than piracy - but we respect the Compact's laws, and such words from a Grayson Prince seemed to impact the entire crew. Made us feel like we have a place, something worth protecting, allies to enrich and enemies to plunder. I swear even old Hob stood up a little straighter, grumbled less, and had a gleam of destiny twinkle in his eye.
My thanks to those who came aboard. I hope you had fair winds on the ship back to Arx.

Water moves around what tries to stop it.
Water has no care.
Water may be bound up in something else, but it waits.
Water is the true representation of patience.
Water feels nothing, so it cannot be lured.
Water is freedom.

I will not forget the impact you had on my life.
May we meet again on the field of battle
Swords drawn as we fight the enemies of the Compact.

Relationship Note on Leona
I am better than I thought I would be, though you have never doubted my strength and I never worry about your's. You have made sure that I would be fine, that I would have a strong foundation around me before you left. It is such a Leona thing to do, worry about others while you had such a daunting journey ahead. You will be fine as well. I love you.
