This week Mar'i will be visiting those who have agreed to meet her. I am astonished at how I feel. How could any harm come to her? But it is not truly that I suspect any real threat. It is simply that she is kin, and I have lost so many already. I cannot bear the thought of losing more. But should Mar'i fall, she will take many of her enemies with her, who will testify to her courage in battle when she is judged thereafter.
Luum will miss his big sister. He has learned to recognize her face, and makes a sound that is meant to be her name. "Ari" is a rather pretty nickname, even though she keeps making "mmmmmmmmmmmm" sounds at him trying to persuade him not to call her that.
Fly high, daughter who I did not carry.
