Prelude:
Journal Entry 471:
Theorem is a dream come true. Everything I've worked for has finally come to me, and I've never been happier. A change of life for the generations to come after me. The name of Arakin will no longer be looked down upon by the rest of the world. I feel like I've changed the future. I am the small stone that's tossed into the ocean. I've caused the ripple, that will later create a monstrous wave. And yet...
I've let Kariyanna down. She will never admit it to me, but I can see it in her eyes every time the light shines on them. I can see her heavy heart. She feels betrayed, even cast aside. I know she will live, and if it ever came down to it, I would choose her over Theorom in a heartbeat. Someday she will see the world for what it is and realize that there is so much more than just the skyscrapers, slums and military practices that exist in Theorom. I cant wait to see the planet myself, to see the magic. It feels good to say, I am a Theorom Dragon Rider.
I need to go, Kariyanna is waiting.
