The Remembrance Book 2
30 Moonshare 1276
Tomorrow begins the cycle of Goldfall. Mark it well. Both your father and I celebrate our birthing days in that cycle, within days of each other. Know that he doesn't like a lot of fuss and fanfare to mark the day. Keep things simple.
I expect that you will be stubborn. Given your parentage, it will be hard for you to escape that trait. Your father and I have been known to be about stubborn as pair of bears digging their paws into a beehive for honey while the hive is full. Or maybe a pair of mules somehow trying to turn the world in the other direction! Yes, stubborn, that I expect and prepare for.
Will, that's your papa, has promised to carve a wooden sword for you. I expect that you will have many lessons with it before taking up a steel one. Maybe, one day, you follow in his footsteps and those of your brother, Vittal, and become a Silver Moon Knight. It is not a job to be taken lightly, they bear a great responsibility to people of what was once the Silver Moon Empire. That history is something for one of them to explain.
You have many brothers and sisters, but Vittal is likely to be the only one you will meet. The others live far away. Never fear, Bug, you will have plenty of company especially if there is another child sharing the womb with you. I do not not know Vittal feels about having a younger brother or sister. I suppose that is something you will discover in your own time.
Cycles ago, I dreamed about being given a cradle as a gift. At the time we thought it was just a dream, but somehow, I think it was a message that you would be coming along. Now, I must wonder if that dream will come true.
