"Great"

In this letter I will congratulate you, threaten you, and encourage you but first I want you to know how wonderful of a friend you have and how lucky you are to be sitting across from A Great. I’m sure that as the years go by, people will look up to Mira Willis and wish that they were in your very shoes. She is going to become a great and powerful woman someday and you should take this opportunity to learn all that you can from her. 

I have read that paragraph over and over in the past few days.  "A great and powerful woman".  "A Great".  The fact that the letter was signed by our late CO is not the only thing that adds weight to the words; it is that there is the possibility that it was actually penned by Nicks.  Written and signed, wholeheartedly endorsed, by the Goran Prince's guardian...and father.  Perhaps the two most important mortal men in Tristan's life.  Calling me A Great, foretelling of my rise to power.

There is a part of me, deep down, that knew of this already.  But it is difficult to see the possibilities of anything like that happening when everything has been stripped away.  As I write this I have no home, no car, and no means to obtain either.  Material things don't bother me so much anyways.  It's that Tristan has....well, he remains silent.  And distant.  Very, very distant.
