Dearest Rachael,
The campaign has been long, and trying. All the animals have been used poorly, subjected to the vilest of conditions. The wagons run on broken wheels, and the men walk in tattered boots.
Finding supplies has been a trial, the quartermaster stretching what little food we have in the cleverest of ways, leaving none satiated. We have lost dear companions on this campaign.
Winter cloaks the land in sheets of ice, our foot steps crunching and tinkling as if we walk on broken glass. We are sore, hungry and exhausted beyond thought as we trudge methodically on.
Each night there is less talking as we huddle around dismal fires that serve only to remind us of the relentless cold.
It is at times like this I think of you and despite the distance between us, I remember the feeling of your arms around me. Your memory brings me solace and warmth.
Do you remember how we lay in the dark together in my bed, telling each other stories and secrets? Sharing kisses and reassurance of brighter days?
I long to hold you again, to feel your fingers run through my hair, as we drift to sleep, safe and together in one place. I march ever onward, in the hopes of those brighter times returning.
You face trials and turmoil of your own, this I know and wish I could be by your side, to protect and comfort you. To support you in your need.
I ask that you hold strong my dear one. That you survive to come by my side again soon. If you can withstand the storms of fate, so too, will I.
This is my promise, my covenant, to live through the cold and dark, until we can walk in the light
- Your Faithful Knight in tarnished armour.
