Eagles Reach, General of the Armies of Caligus. Died defending the walls of Aestus. His death affected all but one more than all the others, Gwynyth, Queen of Caligus.

The Generals brother WAYLANDER received a letter the day before of the battle.

Dear Brother, My time grows close, the old woman was right I will meet my end in Aestus, how did she ever know. I wish I had never asked her about the future but you know me could never stay quiet for long.

I will miss you, I will miss seeing an end to a war I fought to win, I was not always right but I stand behind my decisions, my only regret never telling her, I have kept it a secret for so long, just a glimpse used to fill my heart, set the pulse racing. Paragon must be kept the next High Marshal of Caligus must use it. You know that the sword is much more than a sword. I will go now the time approaches I can the banners, we will try to protect the walls. Any way send my love to the family until we meet again in the hall.

Everything is so clear, Eagles Reach, High Marshall of Caligus.

WAYLANDER in grief penned a letter to the Queen of Caligus. He knew the "her" in the letter was Gwynyth, for years Eagles Reach had held a secret only shared with his brother. He had loved the Queen but put the realm before personal issues. Had they ever coupled together ... who knows except the Queen. In her own grief she penned her reply,

Waylander,


It is the most sad day in my life, I cannot stop tears running. The news of his death rip my heart in shreds in pain. I must stand tall in front of my people when I wish to cry out my despair. I always claimed that the realm is more important than my private feelings. Now I hate the crown on my head because it stopped me from revealing the deepest secrets of my heart. It is too late now, the sweet words remain unspoken.

Waylander, thank you for your words of consolation, thank you for revealing me HIS words. I hope you join us in the celebrations of tomorrow, it will be a very difficult day for me, the burden of rulership is killing me...


Lady Gwynyth Queen of Caligus

The unspoken love remained ... unspoken; it died on the walls of Aestus that day.
