Hello Bastien,
Apologies for the lateness of this response - I've had a lot to contend with in Stormbreak. For what it's worth, any letter you send to me should reach me regardless of where I am.
I'm sorry that you consider the decisions that I have needed to make for myself and my family to be of personal affront to you. Rest assured, I'm aware of what the Order is, and what it is not, and nothing I have done has been out of some hatred towards you or the Ascended.
But whatever I think and whatever connections I have made are of little consequence here. As an Ascended, I hope you can understand that I can no more turn from my goddess than you can from yours.
Safrin gave me new life. She gave me a daughter. She is the reason I breathe, and she will be the reason I cease to be, should she decide as much.
There are things we would like to do in this life, and then there are things we must do. I have a duty bestowed upon me by Safrin, and I must tend to it.
As a father yourself, I'm sure you will agree with me on this.
I will lay my life on the line for my children - and one of my children is a child of the stars. In a choice between their lives and yours? It's no contest, and it's not personal.
I'm sorry it has to be like this.
