Templar's Last Stand

To My Dearest Eleanor,

If you are reading this, then the gate has fallen, and my watch is ended. Do not mourn. This is the price of our creed, a cost I have always been prepared to pay. The air here is thin and tastes of ozone. The stone beneath my feet is cold, a constant reminder of the world we protect.

From the chasm, I can hear them. It is not a sound one can describe; it is a chorus of splintering geometries, a song that unravels the mind. There are three of us left. Three lions against a tide of impossibility. We have barricaded the archway with memories and lit the brazier with our last hopes. It will have to be enough.

I only regret that I will not see the roses in our London garden bloom again. Tell them I died well. Tell them I died standing. An army of light against the dark.

Yours, forever in service,
- Richard
