For Miss Katherine Corrigan
My dear Kat,
Your mother will have explained to you that since you are reading this letter, I am dead. Death is a hard thing to bear, but to bear life, we must also bear death. It is the price we pay for being born. You are very young to have experienced so much grief. I am sorry for that, but I sense a strength in you that can handle all that life throws at you. Be your mother's strength, and Alex's. Nick will need you as well. You are his special friend.
I want you to know that I have always considered you to be my friend and kindred spirit. To such words, age is meaningless. I have written a letter to your mother to let her know that neither of you will ever have to worry about the practical aspects of the future. Your education has been provided for no matter what you wish to do.
I shall speak plainly, as friend to friend. You are no longer a child. God has given you a great gift, but it is yours to do with as you will. It is a dangerous gift. Its power is seductive. I know that by now you have felt that, as I and my sister both did. I will confess this to you, although no one, not even my sister knows this. I trust you to keep my secret. I too dabbled with witchcraft. Had I gone down that road, I might have become a very powerful warlock, but it was the wrong road. Each use, each touch, of dark magic taints the soul, consumes the user. Beware - the dark powers will call, again and again. You would be a great prize to add to their treasury - a weapon added to their arsenal.
Because God gave you this gift. It is your responsibility to use it wisely and to the benefit of God's creation. I'm sorry that my wording is so "old," but then I am old. The only advice I can give you is to search your own heart. It will tell you what is right. The mind might try to convince you of the rightness of something which is wrong, but it is just your brain playing games because you want to do it. But the heart, the center of your soul, will always tell you what is right. Follow the Golden Rule - Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You won't go wrong. Understand that for every bad thing that happens, somewhere, something good happens. It is the way of the world.
If you need help, go visit my sister, Ingrid. Alex's "Sight" is not quite like mine, and I suspect not quite like yours. We are more akin than she to either of us. Her "Sight" is emotionally based. It is a fire born in love or hate. Ours is "colder." Where Alex's "Sight" and your mother's talents may make them victims, ours has the potential to make us the victimizer. Ingrid will understand. Her faith is her anchor, but she will not try to force it upon you. She will, instead, persuade you to listen to your own conscience and will point you in the right direction.
Please, wear this token in memory of me. It is very old and is my talisman to protect you, to remind you of these words. When you feel the dark temptations call, touch it and think of me. All my love and all my prayers for your future are given with the absolute confidence that your path will be in the Light.
Your friend,
Next
