Velaeri Mortaine
I know what you have called me for and I am here now to say that you will not like what is to come.
For several years now I have watched our futures through the lense of the Force. I have witnessed our pasts, so much farther back than you imagined I could. I know what it is you have done across the many faces and lives you lead. I know of the souls you've claimed over countless planets and your reign of infamy from one shadow to the next. I have seen the children you bore and the sacrifices you have made. I have known your joy and your love and I have seen the fear that we all doubt ever existed.
I have seen miracles. I have seen futures of we that I could once have only dreamed, and some that would only exist in my darkest of nightmares. Strange to think you've orchestrated them all, at some point, every future decided by the choices you've made for yourself and your family, for your friends and loved ones. There is a future where I have a son, his name is Caedyrn Relek, after the Uncle who would do no harm. You named him, and in this tradition you also claimed him for your own devices.
What you do to me--oh yes, this too I have seen--is something I have come to terms with for it exists in every instance shown to me. I understand now that I was not, never could have been, meant for anything but your own master plan. This knowledge is my burden to bear and I will do so with pride and love and I will take the time given to me until that day and I will do everything I can to see it stopped.
What you do to my son, however, is unforgivable. I will not allow it and I have the power to make it so.
So, my beloved mother, it is with a heavy heart that I now make the move to see your plans begin to fray. To instill back into you the humanity taken at such a young age. To remind you of your mortal self. To deny you this important cog to your machinations.
I hereby abdicate my claim to the throne of Kuat and all inheritance henceforth.
The unraveling has begun and there is only one future for you that is not bleak, if only you could let it be.
Deepest regrets,
Esmae
