I am a king. Yet, what is a king without his kingdom? What sort of king simply forgets those he protects? There are people who depend upon me, and I have simply left them alone. I may have no say in this matter, but as king, I have a duty to my people. We can't have kings who go around gallivanting and losing their memories now, can we? That'll ruin many a kingdom, defeating the purpose of kings in the first place.
I remember times I had to choose between being a good man versus being a good king -- my honor or my country. Good thing I don't have any honor then, isn't it? Anything for Kilvas. That's all I remember. Anything for Kilvas. I am her king; I owe my people at least that much. Even here, I still am their king. The stories talk about the glory, but damned if I ever saw any.
Tibarn's here too, but I could care less about hawks. Goddess, all we need now is for Reyson to show up, and we'll have a happy community of stranded bird royals. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some other people I've forgotten. Imagine that -- a whole community of expatriated kings. Some land we've left behind.
. . . Dear Ashera, I didn't know I was capable of spouting such grandiose words, even if a bit of prose never hurt anyone. It never helped, either, but that's not all that important right now. In contrast, too much inactivity has. If I'm trapped here, better find some way to make myself useful. To myself. Too bad I can't even remember Kilvas, eh? Wonder how they're doing without me.
