Dear Future Me,
What should I do? I feel ashamed in how I've treated my enemy, but at the same time, feel justified, because of my situation. I've asked myself certain questions to help me decide what the right thing to do is...
I am considering not accepting my rival's assistance, but the consequence of doing so is withholding me from making this decision. What is sad is that my rival is not a bad man. In truth, the more I spend time with him, the more I see what a good man he is. I dare say that if we were in a different situation, we could have been friends... Or perhaps, something more. But now that will never be.
Since you already know how this is going to end, all of this probably seems like reading a storybook. It's times like these that make me wish I could be anywhere except the present. I hate not knowing, but I guess that's why we have faith and hope. I just ask ... I pray that I will become better after this, and the pain that's been with me for years finally goes away. Give me your sympathy, Future Me, and do not look too harshly on me. Forgive me Father and have mercy on me for what I have done.
Before the evening comes, I will have made my decision. No matter what that decision may be, I will do whatever it takes to save my father. And whether I am to be the Guardian of the Green Book or the only child of an herbalist, I will risk my life for my father's safety!
My name is Ebony Ibre and this is our story, so let us make the most of it.
