gift: Tucked into this letter is a single black raven feather, and a necklace shaped like a raven’s skull.
Sneaky, Feels wrong to address this to you by your name. Isn’t that silly? Maybe it’s because I gave you this nickname, the first weekend we met - maybe because I knew even then how important you were going to become to me.
I’m not someone who takes family lightly. There’s no one in the world that’s more important to me than my sister, after all, and Vox Machina has been my family when I hardly had one at all. You, though, Vin, you fit right in with them. There’s a place in my heart for you that is for no one else.
I know how hard this is going to be for you. Everything you’ve told me, everything you are: I know that me going’s got to feel like a punch in the gut. But I think I’ve told you before, too - a life worth living is one that’s full of love. Losing people is a part of loving them. It’s much more terrifying to go through things alone.
When you go back home, to your crazy plan, to your world without flowers, to the people who love you, I want you to remember that you aren’t doing it alone. I know you said that people shouldn’t have to be remembered, but before I met you, I wasn’t even sure if I even wanted that. I thought it’d be easier if I disappeared. I know now it’s not.
I do want you to remember me. I want you to know I’m never far away. Even if it’s across worlds, or across time, or from the living to the dead, I’m never far away from you. If you look, you’ll find me there. I can do a lot of things, as her Champion. It might keep me busy, and I might not look like you want me to, but I’ll make my way over to you.
I’ve got a couple last requests. Selfish of me, I know. But, a guy doesn’t disappear from existence every day, so, I hope you’ll listen to them.
First one: I want you to hold onto the people you love, as tight as you can, for as long as you can. Do it for me, alright? Tell them you love them. Tell them how important they are to you.
Second one: If there’s some way for people to travel to each other, I hope you’ll come to visit Tal’dorei. Even if I’m not there. Find Percy. He’ll take you to see Vex. I think you should meet each other. I think she’ll adore you. I know she will.
Last one: More than anything, Vin, I’ll fucking beg you if I have to - let yourself be happy. You deserve it. You deserve it so fucking much.
My life has been changed irrevocably by you. You are my sister. I will never, ever, ever forget you, Vin, and I will never be that far away. Keep an eye out for ravens.
VIN.
