You did everything you could. You stood up and acted as their rock - their DAD - even when you didn't want to, even when you hated the universe. And now...well. What you do with your life is your own. But I hope that if we all meet, you'll stay with us long enough to bring the people who set this into motion crumbling and burning down.
I may not have lived for as long as you, Mister Ardyn, but I know someone who's lived for longer, who's been a force of true evil. I'm certainly not scared of the Starscourge when there's the Batterwitch and InterGal7. I know a fraction of what it is to feel utterly useless to help the ones you care about. I know exactly what it is like to be deigned a healer, a leader, and to have that torn away from you. I think you'll find you have a fair amount in common with Xander, but I hope we can be friends as well.
