I spent a lifetime serving. In fact, more than a lifetime.

The time when I started is now a hazy memory, sinking into the darkness of the past.

So much time has passed, more than a man should be allowed to live.

I was one of the first capsuleers.

I fought. I died. And got reincarnated.

Again. And again. And again.

My body is still young and fresh, the latest of an endless list of clones, too many to count. And yet, I feel the ache of old age in my bones.

I’m tired.

I’ve spent a lifetime serving. Fighting.

For love.

For honour.

And I obeyed. Even when I should have spoken up, I obeyed.

Because that’s what a capsuleer, a soldier, must do: obey the orders. Only this way, order can be maintained.

I was a soldier before becoming a capsuleer. Others fell for the lavish lifestyle of the immortals, where there was no limit, just a fresh clone, but I was a soldier, before being an immortal.

And I obeyed the orders.

For love.

For honour.

I want to retire, but I know there is no retirement for the like of me.

Honour has driven me, honour to fight till the very end to preserve what I swore I would defend until my last breath.

And thus, I will honour my oath.

For love.

I loved. A long time ago.

Before I realized I was immortal, and they were not. Before they all became dust, and I did not.

Love for my oath, for my country, is all the love I have left.

And for love, I will keep on fighting.

Signed: an immortal

Love is the most important thing in life. Once you’ve loved, there is no going back to a state without love. It’s like a door being opened of which existence you didn’t know about, bringing you into an entirely different world.

I have acquired the ability to love and that’s the strongest force driving me.
