For all the centuries I spent in Preservation's Court, I still find him difficult to rightly describe. (Or rightly difficult to describe.) He was a general and an academic. He was a brilliant tactician who despised his art and a wise diplomat who oversaw the deaths of thousands. He led his people with tender kindness and love and insight and still treasured his moments alone with his murals and manuscripts and pottery fragments. He was in the end my Prince and held all my devotion, and he won it honestly.
The man who wears his skin and out-self here is not my Prince even if I have his Court-gift. He is a shallow hateful shadow who prolongs conflict rather than ends it; his love of our past is perverted into a desire to keep it from all others by erasing the future.
I don't know whether his gifts are still as they were on Nephele-that-is. I must go to him to know and I am loathe to learn how completely he's been distorted. I am afraid of what he will be, and who I will be around him.
