I should have known it would not last. I should have known to have all you want is a catastrophe for disaster.

Our plans became unraveled when we caught the eye of the King.
His arrival in River Cut was the end for us.

It was agreed, I would take the children to Kyslith's tower, as it is the only truly safe place.

We were not sure what the Kings purpose was, but I fear now, it was for the most evil of reasons.
Lucas was to meet with him at the brothel after we were safely here.
That was a month ago.
I have no way of knowing what happened. I have not the power to use the scrying ball and I am reluctant to unleash the twins power here to allow them to use it.

I know not where Kyslith is, nor Nobi nor Bette nor Lucas.
I fear for my Roses safety and Moses health.
What a torment to be locked away.

Yet I have no choice in the matter. I must do what is right for the children. We do not lack for food or water or shelter. We do not lack for books or entertainment. We have sunshine and rain, and the tower is ever changing.

I fear I will lose my mind here..or worse, that I will succumb to the numbing security here, and forever remain.
I do not know what has become of my old self. It seems not to exist anymore.
For all the years I was named and held the mantle of Rogue Queen..now it has finally been shed and I have taken on the cloak of mother and recluse.

Oddly this is a calm place. A quiet place. It forever holds a comfort that nothing else can while at the same time, it is a weight upon my shoulders.

I cannot speak of Lucas..I cannot allow myself to let it take root, lest I truly break down. It as though a part of me is missing, and there is naught that I can do.
A part of me screams..go and find him..go and save him..but I am trapped here, without a way out other than the power of my daughters.

I have been selfish, I have been greedy..but I will not put myself before them. I will not unleash a storm for a few drops of rain.

May the Goddess take pity, for noone else will.
