The most amazing guys around

Gentlemen,

I hope the tides of toil have passed over you like mere breeze on a beach, and the light of day has blessed your farms, family, and face since our last correspondence.

As you may be able to guess, if you have read our Lord A-Aron's news, I come not with tidings of grandeur nor resplendence. I must come forth to bear my sins and bring you honest news.

I must take my leave my close friends and allies. My time has come, an era hath come to a close, and a new dawn breaks upon mine own horizon. To say that having spent my time lavishing your company was nice would be a lie... for the truth is, it was my greatest honour.

I hope my tenure leading our noble ship was welcomed well.
Together we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, and now I must leave you. We shall all see new pastures in our own right, a new day, a new dawn, a new era.
Both the victor and the vanquished are but drops of dew, but bolts of lightning – thus should we view the world.

I shall leave you in the capable hands of the very man who hath struck the final blow in this realm of ours unto me. I would say that I hope that he shall cradle you into another golden age - and allow you all to blossom and bloom into the ever resplendent flowers that I know you are. However, I know it is unnecessary for me to say as such, for his green thumb his larger than mine own and his love for you is bottomless.


Before my departure I leave you with one last poem, and one last bit of wisdom:

If you remember the promises between us,
When you think of me after my death.
What are the colour of your tears? I should really like to know.
I will have a lonely trip by myself, and farewell to you.
We will be parted with reluctance and sorrow.
And I will be on the path in a hurry.

Remember, if you ever are compelled under sadness, the boys are always there for you. They always shall. And they will always cherish you, as I have cherished you.


Yours, as ever and always,
The host with the most,
The beast from the East,

Sun-blessed Grand Emperor Jack 'Shaolin' Cartwright
