IRONWOLF!!!!!
Join me in brokenhearted sorrow…
As I stumble through deep grief.
Crushed beneath my many brother son’s empty armor.
To me, this is all too surreal. Bitter and burning.
I find it a Fearful Thing.

So too is to love what death can touch.
A fearful thing to love, to hope, to dream, to be my friend, my squire, my WarLord–
to be, and oh, to lose.

The Chapterhouse welcomes one more to stand their watch,
Octavio, now a holy thing, to love.

For your life has lived in me.
Your eagle's eye always saw that which I missed.
Your laugh, countless times has lifted me.
Your words were gifts of sage counsel to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.

It is a human thing, love.
A holy thing, to love what death has touched.

I shall see you again my Brother Son.
But for now all I can do is cry, rivers of wolf tears for my loss…
IRONWOLF!!!!!
