Chapter 33 No Regrets
NO REGRETS
KINGFISHER
My son,
I close my eyes and dream of the universe, and there are such events that stretch out before my mind like way markers upon a road.
They are firm and undeniable in their existence.
But there are pathways that veer from that road along the way.
Side streets that might lead a player on the grand stage of fate off in another direction.
There are many of these such diversions on the road that lies before you, and many that lie before your mate, as well.
Today, she stands at a fork in the road. I see the way before you both, and I see you tread the path together. But the bond that binds you both will be strongest if she places this book into your hands.
I wish I could explain more. I wish I had lived to see you grow into the man I know you will become, but do not worry.
I have witnessed it in death, and I wouldn’t have changed that for anything.
Your soul is shattered by the knowledge that I remained here for so long after I passed, but please know that it was necessary.
And know that I have cherished every second that I have gotten to watch you from this side of the veil.
I have no regrets.
I love you.
I am proud of you.
Now give her back the book.
Your mother,
Edina
