The Lunar Cycle

By Mia Collins

Diaen holds a stack of old envelopes containing letters from her deceased father. Her father-in-law insists she must read them, though she feels hesitant and apprehensive. As her father-in-law leaves, she remains frozen, struggling with the weight of the letters and the emotions they might evoke.

Diaen sits in her father's library, contemplating the stack of letters from her deceased father. With hesitation, she unties the blue ribbon binding the letters and picks up the top one. Her hands tremble as she grapples with her conflicting emotions. Despite her internal turmoil, she remains determined to focus on her role as a wife and future mother.

Diaen, illuminated by the flickering light of the fireplace, finally decides to read her father's letters. The letters are from her father, Solan Lacord, expressing regret about their growing distance and the need to share things he should have told her years ago.

Solan Lacord, Diaen's father, acknowledges the pain of their distant relationship and expresses his regret through letters. He hopes that sharing the family's history will help Diaen understand her roots and provide her strength to face the challenges of her generation, particularly the burden of the rebellion. He emphasizes the importance of the Mnderground and their efforts in preparing Diaen for the challenges ahead. Solan plans to continue writing about the days that led him to join the rebellion in the underground tunnels.

Diaen is deeply affected by her father's words and contemplates whether to read more letters. Her desire for insights into her life clashes with the practicality of the situation, and she decides to wait until another time, interrupted by her husband's concerns about the late hour. The remaining letters will have to wait for another day.
