Oh Jade...
Oh Jade, my beloved of five years, I miss you so much. Time and space have pushed us further and further apart. Once, long ago, I thought you lost to another man. He was honorable, kind, and Eddisian. Perhaps you would have been happy. But you came back to me, a lowly soldier in the King of Attolia's Guard. I gave thanks to gods I once did not believe in. I was finally able to let my guard down and love the love of my life. Our honeymoon on Mars was the happiest month of my life. I finally knew it was not the machinations of our friends that brought us together but fate. Oh Jade...
But as the years rolled on I saw less and less of you as the King of Attolia sent me on dangerous and secretive missions. I regret neglecting you, Jade. I regret not spending more time with our seven children. But I cannot regret serving His Majesty.
I hear you have found a man in your own reality and he has stolen your heart. Please do not protest these are mendacious words for I know it is the truth. I cannot pretend my heart is not broken. To do so would be false to the memory of our time together. What I will do with my life now, I do not know. I should find a cause, perhaps join the army, except I am already a soldier for one country and your new beloved is a soldier for another.
All there is left is for me to let you go; let you seek happiness with a man from your own universe. A man who is kind and brave and honorable and able to train dancing bear cubs. I wish you all future happiness.
Costis
