As the Vidugglas awoke in their estate they found almost all that had belonged to one of their members, Nadia, were simply gone. Her son Lovid was quietly asleep in his crib. But there were a few things left.
The first thing left was a sketchbook with two dates written on the cover. The first of those being the date of her wedding to Frejnir, the second being this very day. When leafed through all one would find were numerous sketches of Lovid and Frejnir, only ever ones of them smiling. There were numerous pages left blank, as if she hadn't completed this life she loved so dearly. The last drawing was a refined sketch of Nadia, Frejnir, and Lovid, framed in a heart, all smiling like a family.
The second thing they'd find would be Nadia's clothes in the Viduggla colours, with her wedding dress at the top of the pile of dresses. But there was something on top of the dresses. Two rings. Her engagement ring which she'd only taken off once, on the day she first broke up with Frej. And her wedding ring which she hadn't taken off since the day she married the Viduggla.
The last things to be found were three letters. One addressed to the family in general, one to Frejnir, and one to Lovid.
The one to the family was written in Nadia's usual neat and swirly handwriting, saying;
To the Viduggla family,
Take care of eachother, stay loyal, and never forget that when in need this family will stand by you. What makes this family special is that they may act like they hate each other, but when times get hard they stand together as one. Nobody can take that from you.
Raina,
Take care of Garth, he may be stubborn and he might get on your nerves (he sure as hell got on mine) but treat him well. I know you wouldn't have married him if he didn't have good in him, and that needs to be kept.
Garth,
Man did I hate you, but take care. Don't let the weight on your shoulders break you, you're stronger than that.
Ardige,
Be nice to Frejnir or I'll come back to beat your no good @ss.
Magnus,
Get a girlfriend- Or just any friend. You need them.
I don't f*cking know the others in this family sorry you're probably cool though.
Next was the one to Frejnir;
If you're not Frejnir don't f*cking read this.
My dearest Frejnir,
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you in person that I will not be returning, that my trip was not a break, but instead a start of a new life.
I'm sorry I was horrible, that I always insulted you, that I always pushed you away, that I never let you truly get to know me.
I'm sorry I complained when my life was perfect, when I had the family I'd always wanted to have, when I had the perfect son and the perfect husband.
I'm sorry I ever made the mistake of thinking that we should have gotten a divorce. That was the worst mistake I ever made and I will never forgive myself that. Know that it was not your fault. None of this was. All you ever were was a dream to me and I took that for granted. I didn't realize how perfect the dream was until I woke up and there was no going back.
I'm sorry for everything, but especially for leaving this way. I didn't feel I had any better way.
Know that you are the only one for me, that I loved you from the start and that I will forever continue to love you. Know that I've never felt happier than I did when we were together and still in love.
Take care of yourself and our son.
I love you, Frejnir.
The last letter, and last item, was addressed to her few month old son. If one were to look through it they'd read this;
To my perfect son, Lovid.
If you're reading this I've likely been gone for years and you likely don't know anything of me. I want you to know that I didn't leave because I don't love. Because oh gods do I love you my little sunshine. What kept me in the family was you, making sure you'd have a good life, a life where you feel loved. But I knew a day would come when I had to leave, when your father and I would have grown so far apart that I couldn't bare it anymore. But after realizing that that day might come too late. At a time when you'd be old enough to be the one to find me gone, and the thought of putting you through that was unbearable. So I left when you were young. Too young to remember me, and too young to be hurt by it.
I'm sure you have or will grow into a fine young man, one that the whole family will be proud of. One that knows what's right and wrong, one that the world will be lucky to have.
Take care of yourself and your father for me, will you?
I love you more than anything my little sunshine.
What this means:
- Nadia Viduggla is now shelved until further notice.
- All of Nadia's belongings besides those listed in this lore story are missing.
