~ A farewell message ~

[wandthief]

I am graduating.

My warden has just informed me, so no, this is not a joke. Whatever you may think of my past misdeeds I have accounted for them now.

I have been granted a little time to say my goodbyes.

I appreciate the help that a select few have given me here. I'm sure that you know who you are.

Farewell.

Yes, yes... Leave the rest of us to keep treading water in the shithole while you crawl out. Take care, by all means.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I am sure you will also get to leave one day, if you truly want to.

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

I've been wanting to since I got here.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Give it a little time. It should happen. Patience is something we all have to learn.

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

At your age I was incredibly impatient.

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

I'm the first woman in Rome. Excuse me while I seethe with contempt for this place stealing that away from me.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Do you think that you do not belong here? That you have done nothing that wrong in your life?

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

If I'm here for what has been alleged of me, then I can name many more who've done far worse than I... And they have yet to step foot here.

No, I'm here to serve as this Admiral creature's plaything. Nothing more.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Maybe they do not deserve second chances.

A bit stumped...

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

You have an interesting way with words.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I only mean that if you are here then the Admiral has deemed you deserving of a second chance. Which means, in theory, you can be released one day.

As you have said, people have done worse than yourself. They are not here because perhaps they are beyond redemption.

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

Everything I have done has been out of necessity and I'll not have some cosmic trickster judging me on things he or she hasn't the right to.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I believed all I did had a purpose too. Maybe you need to see things from a different perspective. Maybe what you did out of what you thought was necessity did a great deal of harm to others...

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

Good. They deserved it.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

What did they do to you?

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

Attempt to poison me, cause my children to commit incest and almost bring down Rome by murdering my uncle.

Shall I go on...?

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

You have to come to your own sense of peace with all of that if you want to move on and be free of this place.

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

Or make what brought me here suffer.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Then you will be here for a very long time.

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

Then at least it shall be enjoyable.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Good luck...
