I am allowing everyone to read this - both Niflheim and Asgard - as I want to make three things absolutely clear:

One - Demons do not behave in the manner which I represented. The person I became was a horridly wretched version of something peaceful and kind. While they are known for being critical and oftentimes arrogant, they never mean to harm others. Clearly few people know my history, and for the most part it will remain so, but I will not allow any defamation of my people to occur.

Two - I apologize not only for my harsh, insensitive, and threatening words. I know I hadn't much choice in the matter, but it still rests heavily on my heart.

Three - I made the error of announcing my pregnancy to members of Niflheim, and publicly. It will not. Change. Anything. No matter what you say. If anyone from Niflheim tries anything, I will not hesitate to kill you. I mean it.

Faulty children, how you lament your situation. The sweeping tides, the turning tables. The new creatures that have risen in your already beastly corpses. You suffer the fate of your laws, your physical mortality.

But I embrace this enlightenment. To see truly what it is to be above you. How my brother had been right all these years, that Humans or those who pretend to be true Demon are nothing more than scourge and should be eliminated.

We are the Ancient. You are all fetuses, intruding into this life with your petulant little thoughts and your crooked gods. You call on higher religion as your cause, but you are nothing but flesh and meat. And you must not be allowed to continue existing. You will decay, soulless wretches. All my years, I have known this. And now I have the power to act upon it.

You will fall. If not today, then in time.

In time.

To those who accepted the invitation, thank you. To those who remain undecided, there is more than enough room to accommodate everyone at the wedding, should you decide to attend.

And is...everyone alright? I know it has been asked before, but everyone seems so distant these past few weeks. Is there something troubling anyone?

( Private Notes )

Kain and I would like to formally and cordially invite any and all who wish to attend our wedding on the 3rd of August. The ceremony would commence at eleven in the morning and will be located in the gardens. If you would rather not attend, no offense will be taken. The decision is completely yours.

( Private to Kain )

It appears Niflheim has a few additional guests. As though the original lot wasn't irritating enough as it was. It seems we have some rearranging and reprioritizing to do.

Has a date been decided upon for the meeting? I should think sooner rather than later, given the circumstances.

{Filtered to Asgard}

It appears traps will be the means to an end for this Tailypo's attacks. I have read what this creature's journals say and I find nothing but madness. What traps will be made so that one knows to avoid them?

Morana, Dorian, and Mitch - would tomorrow in the afternoon be an acceptable time for all of you so that I may introduce you to the greenhouse's wares? I am flexible with time.

Now that we've all agreed that being too hard on ourselves is a hindrance and that we will continue steadfastly until the next Trial arrives, I have to admit that I will be of less assistance now that I am pregnant. I know I have helped Frank in the gardens and that most of my remedies have touches of my magick in them, but it is not impossible to learn to be a starting apothecary. If anyone is interested in trying their hand at the gardening, please feel free to ask me.

There is...much to consider, giving what has recently occurred, but I did not fight in the Trial. Therefore, I will not pretend to know what it is that you are feeling at this time, be it regret, discouragement, shame, or anger. But do know that you tried your best. That is what matters most, is it not? I couldn't be prouder of all of you. You did your very best.

If anyone is still wounded from their duels, I have several medicines still on hand. I'm sure all of the grave wounds have been attended to, or else someone has been lying in bed the last several days, incapacitated and in agony.

I have done as much as I can to medicinally prepare us for the Trials. With Alessa's assistance, many of the antidotes have been labeled so that all may read them and know of their usefulness.

Until the Trial itself, I will be retiring to my room.

And the bathroom.

If there is anything in particular anyone would like me to prepare, please give me an advanced notice.

Kain and I would like to formally announce that we are expecting a child. I am little more than one month pregnant. We also care to reveal that, at Metatron's suggestion, we intend to be wedded in the late summer. Of course, all present in Asgard are invited to attend. If you would rather not attend, there will be no hard feelings.

But if we discover someone has told our secret to anyone in Niflheim - whether you consider that person a trusted friend or otherwise - there will be swift and painful repercussions.

I am speaking on Kain's behalf for that last segment.

Henry was right, the weather outside is delightful. The barn doors are nearly finished and we will be able to keep that strange Tailypo man from attacking any more of the horses. I haven't the faintest idea why he would want tails of all things, but it certainly was a nuisance.

How has everyone been?

I-

If I-

I sincerely apologize. Something unfathomable time-consuming has recently occurred, and I require space for the next day or so. Please do not disturb me. I will be spending most of my time in the greenhouse.

I'd like to properly welcome both new members of Asgard. I know this won't be the most pleasant of stays, but I will help however I can, in friendship or medicinally.
