WHAT YOU READ NEXT, REALLY HAPPENED, PLEASE DO NOT FORGET IT, OR HER.
CESKA AND I MET ONLY A SHORT WHILE BACK...WE BECAME FRIENDS QUICKLY...SOMETIMES
TALKING FOR HOURS, I CARED A GREAT DEAL ABOUT HER, SHE WAS A GOOD AND KIND PERSON
ALWAYS WILLING TO LISTEN TO WHAT I HAD TO SAY, AND FORGIVE ME WHEN I ERRED. WE
WERE MORE THAN FRIENDS FOR A TIME, BUT AS IT HAPPENED, SHE WAS TAKEN FROM THE EARTH
BY A TRAGIC EVENT. SHE WASN'T A REGULAR DRINKER, JUST AS WELL SINCE SHE WAS ONLY 17,
BUT ONE EVENING, SHE WENT OUT WITH SOME FRIENDS, JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT, AND
THE DRIVER WAS DRINKING, WHETHER HE WAS OVER THE LIMIT OR SPEEDING, I WAS NEVER
TOLD. AT AROUND MIDNIGHT, EASTERN STANDARD TIME, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR
AND IT FLIPPED OVER ON THE ROAD. THE NEWS WAS BROUGHT TO ME BY HER BEST FRIEND, SHE TOLD
ME THAT MY EX, MY FRIEND, HAD BEEN KILLED INSTANTLY WHEN THE CAR FLIPPED OVER ONTO ITS SIDE.
DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. IT IS IN SOME WAYS WORSE FOR THE SURVIVORS,
THAN IT IS FOR THE VICTIMS. WHEN HER LIFE ENDED THAT EVENING, SHE TOOK A PART OF ME
WITH HER, A PART THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET, BUT I DOUBT I'LL EVER BE ABLE TO TOUCH AND UNDERSTAND
AGAIN. BUT SHE ALSO LEFT ME, AND ALL THOSE THAT NEW HER, SOMETHING MORE. THE DEMONSTRATION OF HOW
PRESCIOUS LIFE REALLY IS, AND HOW CLOSE WE ALL ARE TO THE END, NO MATTER WHAT OUR AGE,
ON THE ROAD, DEATH IS INCHES AWAY. SHE ALSO LEFT ME HER MEMORY, AND I'LL CHERISH THAT UNTIL
THE END OF MY LIFE.
REMEMBER WHAT I'VE SAID, EVERY THING HAS A CONSEQUENCE, AND
ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF DRINKING AND DRIVING IS DEATH, AND PAIN FOR THOSE
YOU LEAVE BEHIND.
FAREWELL CESKA, YOU WILL BE MISSED. YOURS TRULY,
KING ARCHOS.
HERE IS THE MEMORIAL TO MY FRIEND, RAGING STORM(ALEX IRL), HE IS NOT YET GONE...HOWEVER, HE
IS NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE. THESE ARE HIS WORDS, THEY SAY THAT THE DYING DO NOT LIE, WELL
JUDGE FOR YOURSELF HIS WORDS TO YOU ALL.
okay, here goes
To all my friends and family in real life and the Chathouse:
I just want to thank you for the wonderful times we all had together,
and don't worry about me too much...I'll always be with you in any shape
or form. I'll be watching for you always, and hopefully someday we will
be reunited. I leave you with this: Live every day of your life to the
fullest..every minute, every second...cherish it with love, because that
very life may be taken from you, leaving only regret and sorrow...
HERE ARE MY OWN WORDS TO HIM, I HOPE HE DOESN'T MIND: RAGING STORM (ALEX) IS
A GOOD AND LOYAL FRIEND, I ALWAYS HAVE CHERISHED HIS FRIENDSHIP, AND I ALWAYS WILL,
LONG AFTER HE AND I ARE GONE FROM THIS WORLD. IF THERE ARE TWO WORDS THAT CAN
SUM UP HIS LIFE THEY ARE "HE SUCCEEDED". IN CASE THIS NEEDS EXPLAINATION, I WILL
PUT IT SIMPLY. HE LIVES HIS LIFE WELL, AND COMFORTED OTHERS WHEN HE COULD, THAT
IS THE FINEST THING WE CAN DO WITH OUR LIVES, IF EVERYBODY WERE AS STOIC IN THE FACE
OF DEATH, AND DECENT AND HONORABLE AS HE, THE WORLD WOULD BE A FAR MERRIER PLACE
THAN IT IS. WELL ALEX, IF THERE IS MROE I CAN SAY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT EXCEPT,
YOU WILL BE MISSED, AND REMEMBERED. GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND. SEEYA AROUND.

IN MEMORY OF HEAVEN LEA
ic:
HEAVEN LEA WAS THE CHILD OF WILLIAM AND CLARA DRACONIUS, TWO VERY DEAR
FRIENDS OF MINE, SHE WAS A WONDERFUL BRIGHT CHILD, BORN WITH DOWN SYNDROME,
SHE TOUCHED THE LIVES AND HEARTS OF MANY OF US. DURING THE CLOSING DAYS
OF THE WAR AGAINST THE MUTINY ALLIANCE, AND THEIR ALLY, TRINITY, I ENTERED THE
SHIP, TO TAKE ON THE LOST ONE, THE FOUL MAN THAT ATTEMPTED TO KILL MY BELOVED
GRANDDAUGHTER, JADEN ROSE. HE WAS NOT ALONE, HE HAD WITH HIM, ONE NAMED KAIN
ONE OF THE TRINITY LEADERS. THE LOST ONE FLED, AND KAIN ATTACKED. WE FOUGHT,
AND JADEN ENTERED, PLEADED WITH US TO STOP...HE DIED AFTER STICKING A SWORD IN HER
BELLY AND JADEN LEFT. BEFORE I COULD RESUME THE CHASE FOR THE LOST ONE,
BLACKBLADE OF TRINITY ATTACKED. HE WAS A FORMIDIBLE FOE, AND WE FOUGHT FOR SOME
TIME, AND THE 5 YEAR OLD CHILD, HEAVEN LEA ENTERED, SHE PLEADED WITH US
TO CEASE FIGHTING. I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT EVEN ONE OF TRINITY WOULD STRIKE
DOWN A CHILD. BUT I TRIED TO STOP FIGHTING ANYWAY...HEAVEN LEA APPROACHED,
AND TOUCHED BLACKBLADE, HE CUT HER NEARLY IN TWO...SHE DIED IMMEDIATELY.
HIS EXISTANCE WAS RENDED ALMOST IMMEDIATLY AFTER...HER LAST WORDS WERE,
"PLEASE STOP FIGHTING" WITH THAT SHE DIED, AND I FOREVER EARNED THE HATRED
OF SOME OF MY DEAREST FRIENDS, AND CARRY THE GUILT OF NOT HAVING DONE SOMETHING
TO PREVENT HER DEATH...HOWEVER, I WILL NOT LET HER BE FORGOTTEN. HER LAST
INNOCENT WORDS DID NOT FALL ON DEAF EARS.
I WILL NOT LET HER BE FORGOTTEN, NOR WILL I FORGIVE MY FAILURE, NOR DO
I EXPECT EITHER MY GRANDDAUGHTER, MY DEAR FRIENDS WILLIAM AND CLARA, NOR
ANY OTHER TO EVER SPEAK TO ME OR FORGIVE ME. THE WAR CHANGED ME IN WAYS
THAT I DID NOT EVEN REALIZE, UNTIL MY GRANDDAUGHTER SAID THE WORDS EVERYONE
HATES TO HEAR FROM THOSE THEY LOVE. "I HATE YOU."
