Petition for Reinstatement

My Dearest High Priestess,

Your last words to me continue to echo in my head.

“Did you sack yourself to satisfy our honor? Or your own?”

For many months now, I have spent time among people who are willing to fight for their beliefs and die for the people they love. They have become like family to me and they have taught me many lessons. Two stand out, though.

1) Family protect each other. They share their problems and, in sharing, the burden of their problems is diminished.

2) There are times when defending others, and yourself, is not proper but necessary.

I believed I was leaving the Guild to protect it from the anger of the Camden family. That was self-deception. In truth, I left the Guild to punish myself. I had taken a life during a sacred time. My guilt clouded my judgement.

Your wisdom humbles me. Your insight into my soul and your gentle method of leading me to the truth show a level of skills as a companion I can only hope to aspire to.

I do wish to aspire to that level, though. If there is a way, I ask that my license and membership be reinstated.

My eternal love, always,

Christian Edge
