My love letter to you

“It's a kindness that the mind can go where it wishes.”
-Ovidius-

“For thousands of years it has been an island of calm within the Chaos. It is a center of power, a model of stability, and a beacon of integrity. The Nine Ruling Families guard it from within; the Expansionary Defense Fleet guards it from without. Its neighbors are left in peace, its enemies are left in ruin.
It is light and culture and glory.
It is my home. The only home I’ve ever known.
It is the Chiss Ascendancy.”
[Chaos Rising, first draft]

You left your home.
Exiled.
Pretending to be, sure.
But a galaxy away from it.
Everything you knew, and it was dear to you.

A hero.

Self-inflicting years of bullying and xenophobia in a horrific society like the Empire while all your loved ones were lightyears away.
Just because you thought that it was your warrior duty to do so for the common good.

For everyone to be safe.
Protected.
By you.
