Shandra,
I feel as if I am violating your trust by writing this in your journal, but I cannot help it. I pray you forgive me. After we returned, I saw that thief snatch it from your pack. I know it has not been the first time and I must confess that I know this because he once showed it to me. At the time it was but the last entry containing information about nephalem. He tempted me to read more but I did not. This time however, you were not here. I retrieved it for safe-keeping. Maybe more.
Tyrael returned yesterday to tell us you were gone. I thought he meant you had already returned. Then he showed us your armor. I know that we freed Hope, but in that moment, I again felt its loss. Never before have I felt the way I do now. Even doubting my faith, my order, myself...it is nothing compared to losing you. And the worst part is, I never said the most important thing I needed to say before you were gone.
When I saw the angel's shield come alive to protect you, I should have said it. When trapped in that foul magic just steps away from Diablo, I should have told you before you left. But I think that, I should have said it before then. I should have said it in the cave when it was just the two of us by the fire. So many things I was too blind, too proud, maybe even too afraid to say...that it seemed like you knew without having to hear it.
What I tried to say on the way back to the Keep was that, making love to you was no sin. It was just that, love. Not pleasures of the flesh, even if it was very...um... My point is, it wasn't a sin. It felt like no sin. It could not have been a sin. How could love ever be compared to sin? That is what you tried to tell me, isn't it? That darkness is hate and death but light is love and life. I saw that light in your eyes.
I was wrong about so many things, Shandra. And now, it's too late to correct them. You're gone. All I have left is this part of you that you left behind. And with it is another reason to be thankful Leah pushed you to starting it. Without this part of you...I... I will keep it safe for as long as I draw breath. And in case you should ever return, this is my oath in writing to that end. I find myself praying that you do return, even if the hope of it is...fading.
I love you, Shandra.
Yours,
Kormac
Hellspawn! The letter had to have been written before Shandra had returned to do whatever magic she had done to the templar. It had been very clear to Lyndon that something had changed in Kormac after the hunter had departed. Where the man had been silent and withdrawn while preferring solitude to company, once she and the angel had gone he had returned to being his order-obsessed self. Even Eirena had noticed something unusual.And now Lyndon was sharing a camp with a very alive if not overly well Shandra, who had already done serious damage to what might have been between the two of them. She was set on her personal quest while Kormac had returned to making gaga eyes at the enchantress and stumbling and bumbling his way around her--and any women nearby. What was a scoundrel to do?
