I met with Tiryan yesterday.

I met him in the Last Gate like we organised.

*elongated sigh*

I was full of conflicting emotion, I was glad to see him all right and well.
But at the same time I was furious with him for everything he had done.

He tried to explain about my father and started on some story about some enemies my father had in the Navy.

I didn't fully comprehend what he was talking about.

Then he mentioned my fathers diary.
He said I should have it.

I didn't know what he was on about, this seemed to shock him greatly.
He rushed out shortly after giving me a datapad that he said would explain things more.

I still haven't looked at it.
I guess I'm affraid at what I will see in it.

Argh, no time to ponder now.
I still have work to do for my agent.
And I have some study to do before Marshal Gangleri returns to active duty.

So many things to do.
And so many ghosts haunting my steps.

I think I will continue from where I left this yesterday...

After my meeting with Tiyran I went back to the room that had been given to me for the night.

This so called "room" was infact the entire top level of the local cities most prestigious hotel.

Sometimes I fail to understand these people.

Yes I am a Capsuleer.
Yes I have more ISK than these people are likely to aquire in three lifetimes.
Yes I hold the power to devestate entire planets and colonies

But I am still human.
More to the point.

I am god's man once again.

....a long drawn out sigh....

"God’s compassion is all encompassing; His vengeance, all consuming."

- Grand Admiral Sundara The Kor-Azor charge. YC 110.6.10


Those are the words that are now emblazoned on my personal crest and are engraved onto the hull of every ship I own.

During my stay with my family, my grandfather took me aside into his private chambers.

There he showed me my families history, such as it was.
He spoke to me about everything that had happened since I was last admitted entry to the family residence.
He forgave me.
Everything I did, all the heresy that I created.
He forgave me.

He said it was god's test.
The test of a Paladin.

He said I had passed.
He said that I was now free to become the man I was born to be.
A god among stars.
The Blade of Righteousness
The Sword of Truth.

I am Reborn.

It was this event that changed my perspective on life.
he opened my eyes, but showed me more than just the usual drible of the Priests.

He showed me Amarr as it truly should be.
What it CAN be.

My Faith will be strong.

I am Reborn.

I'm going to try this manually for once I think, instead of leaving the system on passive observe.

It's nice to be back home.
Funny how I now think of my apartment in Aphend my home.

Anyway, I have been to my birth-place for the last week or so, the time became blury.
It has been so long since I saw anyone from that planet...

Kihtaled II that is...

This time when I landed, I was not greeted by the silence of an empty room.
Instead I recieved the thunderous applause of the entire city, which appeared to have arrayed at the port to greet me, the local capsuleer hero.

I... I was overwhelmed to say the least.

My home city had aparently garnered information of my iminent arrival and had planned an enourmous welcoming.

This welcoming lasted two entire days.
During which time I was rather abruptly reminded about the local customs, which wasn't a bad thing as it saved me from a potential extremely embarrasing situation.

As the festivities came to an end I had arranged to go back to my families land after meeting with my Grandparents earlier that day to spend time with my family.

But to thrust directly at the point.

I was walking along a dark street disguised in a monks robe.
Just taking in the planet and city that I grew up in.

Remembering all the tales and stories held within those long buried memories

When is was thrown out of my reverie by a man appeared beside me in a similar robe.
I was surprised initially, but even more so when he spoke to me and called me by my name.

It...
It was Tiryan Khanid.

A man whom I had not seen for many long years and who had been responsible for both my release and subsequent escape from Amarrian Authority

and before that.

My Commanding Officer in the Navy.

the one man I thought I could trust with my life after my father's demise.
And there he was, standing beside me in a dark alley.
On MY home planet.
Knowing full well what could happen if I so desired.

It didn't make sense

He said he had been looking for me since I rejoined the Empire.
He said that he had some explaining to do.
He said a great many things.

But what he didnt say.

was why.

Why was he there, why he was not surrounded by armed guards, why he was there for me.

why?

Why is always a question greater than it's answer, so spake it wisely or not at all my son.

Father's words coming back to haunt me, every time I seen Tiyran I see my father's ghost behind him.

I agreed to meet him back in space when I was finished on planet.

He said he had some explaining to do.

03-02-111YC - A New Arena

Math'ra Hiede walks into the room looking tired and worn.

He walks over to his favorite couch and slumps down, waving his hands to dim the lights and drifts off to sleep.

beep... beep...

Math'ra slowly opens his eyes and looks up from where he had fallen a sleep, stretching and sitting up, looking around with bleary eyes he sees his datapad blinking.

He was required to report to active duty station in 35 minutes.

That left 15 minutes to wake up and get ready he thought sleepily.

"What a few days....

I joined VFOR only 3 days ago.. hard to believe.

I have already been on 5 different deployments to secure critical locations for the Empire.

And then the new High Command promoted me, twice!

Nothing is the same as I remember it.

Even old Admiral Khanid has retired and is now just flying his personally charted frigate around.

Which reminds me, I need to see if I can look him up at some stage.
I have some questions I need to ask him..'

Math'ra stands and walks into his private room and dresses in his pod suit, putting standard VFOR Spacecrafsmen uniform on.

"Even as director of security I was never this pressed in QAI.

Eurgh. War does that to people though.

Time to make it history."

Math'ra Hiede turns to his Computer before strapping on his guns and striding out.

"Stop recording, file under personal, then initiate shutdown"
