Day 21: Day of Silence
We’ve gone dark. The last of the sunlight was taken by the Void on this day, and we now stare into an ever deepening darkness. If we are not the last ones left, we might as well be. We wouldn’t be able to know either way, as we are now fully surrounded. We are an island waiting for one final deluge to wipe us out. As it stands we may hold out for a few more days, but everyone left has accepted this fate. We do not hope to make it through. Some sort of miracle is no longer a possibility.
Tyr put up a commendable fight. I never for one moment doubted our resolve, and I am still, proud of each and every one of my citizens. This is not a sad day, simply a solemn one. Now is not the time to dwell on the past transgressions. Let our final memories be good ones. Despite what others have tried to say I am not swayed: the child that the Order spoke of will arise from the depths of all this darkness and shed new light on Delta. In that I do, and must, have faith.
I was not a perfect ruler, but I will be damned if I did not try every day to be the best. These past few months have truly tested me, and our world. Made monsters out of men. Cowards of the proud. Our ghosts will soon be all that remains. May the Reclaimer find some use in these words. They are all I have left now.
