I need to write this, otherwise, it will eat me from inside. I loved Aisha, and I killed her. She was the unconquerable light to me. Yet, I was gradually more and more aware of the shadow creeping into her. It was a piece of sentence here and there that alerted me. She spoke of ungrateful kingdoms and how our order is wasted on guarding long-forgotten ruins. Then, one night, she visited my chambers, made love with me, and then the request came: "Kill king Hiram for me, we should start to protect the real world, and this king is a cruel tyrant." I opposed her that it is not right for one person to secretly decide the fate of a kingdom and that I despise her method. She told me she is glad that I am true to my oaths. But we both knew she cannot leave me alive after the conversation. However, she did not realize that Asilan was hovering behind her. He has been there since she said the word "kill". She reached for a dagger in a blink of an eye and even managed to cut me with the tip before my sword obeyed me and emerged from her chest. I vaporized her after this with my oath candle. Oath guards then investigated and tested the oaths of everyone in the keep. Everyone’s oaths, including mine, were judged as unbroken and the vanishing of mistress Aisha remained a mystery.
