Chapter 198 - Zenzele, My Love part 17

So what is left to tell you, my readers? That she had a brief and unsatisfactory affair with the blood drinker Palifver some time before our paths chanced to cross. That she dreamt of me long before I surrendered to her that snowy night on the mount. That she had been searching for me without knowing it, driven by her inexplicable intuition, since the fall of the Oombai. That she had subtly manipulated all of us to protect me from the rancor of her companions. From my own ignorance.

My beautiful Zenzele, my soul's mate, forgive me for the indiscretions I have and intend to set to print-- here in the pages of my memoirs!

Better yet, come to me, even if my confessions have moved you to righteous fury, and save me from this terrible course that I have set myself upon.

You must know by now what I intend to do.

Zenzele, my love!
