V

Tonight is the final night, as proclaimed by the gods. I have my final gift, the third gift, as the signs foretold.

I have prepared paints and equipment to work on a grand project, the likes of which will never compare.

Tonight I will scale your wall with my own four hooves and step hoof in your chambers for the first time. And then as you slumber I will begin my work.

It is simple to get into your room. You do not realise it yet but there is a blind spot in your guard's patrols at 2:43 every morning. From there, it is a simple matter to cross the gardens around the large oak tree which leads to a small outcropping that circles around the outer edge of your ramparts.

But maybe you left this opening on purpose so that I would find it!

Of course, it is so obvious now.

And then I will paint your visage.

Silently, but I will pour all my heart into it.

A great drawing in your likeness! Yes, you will see it and be overcome with pure joy, knowing that I have finally arrived and that I have heeded your message for all these years.

We will be joined.

Forever and ever.

My love, I am coming. Are you ready for me?

I have no more use for these petty farces. After tonight, why do I need to be satisfied with mere imagery when you are there for me to touch, for me to stroke my hoof upon your face, for me to gently nuzzle in sweet silence?

Before I leave tonight I will burn the shrine in a sacrifice to the gods for having brought us together.

I will bring these writings with me when I go, so that you may read of the few months leading up to this day, as few as they may be, but every word speaks only truth.

I will never let you go.

I will never let you go.

I will never let you go.
