Title: Writings- To Charlotte

A Note for Charlotte
Chronologically it should be noted that while I write these words long before your birth, know that I know you dear little girl, and that I will always watch over you.
You have many questions I am sure, questions that your mother cannot answer, questions that I too in your time cannot answer either. A confusing notion, I understand.
However know that the man I am now, as of this writing is not the same man as who will father you, nor the same boy who was nearly crowned King, nor am I the terrible creature of balance that marches us all forward to our inevitable end. Rather instead, I am the man who stood this morning upon the soft grass of that once empty field of Britain and dispatched one of the greatest threats to Sosaria ever, in doing so broke the conditions my other selves have placed upon my retirement.
They will come for me soon, and they will judge me. A terrible thing to stand judgment over ones self, a moment within an infinite number of moments, with the benefit of both hindsight and foresight, to look at the whole of an infinite and immortal life and stand in judgment over it. I do not envy myself, to stand to be judged for breaking my promise, nor do I relish the thought of standing in judgment over myself for the same. Instead, dear daughter, I write to you.
As you progress through your life, small steps. You will have many triumphs, and many defeats. You will meet those who will build you up for their own pleasure, and those who will tear you down for the same. Know that even in your alone times, you are never apart from me.
You are a piece of me, a piece of the infinite circle of time as we all are. The immortal Sosarians, it is no wonder such terrible things befall us, it is unnatural for any being to live forever. Our trappings, our simple lives, always invaded by terrible creatures of jealousy. Xorinite, Oblivion, Fractures in Time, Monsters from the Void, However the worst of these are your fellow Sosarians.
These people do not understand the power they have over this world, I doubt they will ever recognize it. They have a panache for squandering it over petty things.
Know this, daughter. The Wellings family is an ancient one, our line stretches back long before the Kingdoms united, the times of the old Kings, of the dark chaos that reigned then.
Back to the lands of Dragons and their rule and hold over us all. Our names have changes, Welles, Wellings, Wellington, Wellingham, Wells, Wellenbath and Welluns. All branches of a single circular root. My root, I was the first, and I was the last, until you. You are the heir of all these things, one day soon you will understand what this means, what it will cost you, and what responsibility it will weigh upon you.
For now however, I wish only to say, that I love you, seek out your family, seek them out and the faces that look out at you will be mine, just as they will be yours. Family, branches of the tree that is we.
Seek them out.
