"I'll make a man out of you"

Dear Readers,
      I have returned home from my battles and was able to once again see my dearest wife. After returning, I had a long discussion with my wife about what the witches prophecy meant for me, and how I should respond. Afterwards, the king decided to spend the night at my home, such a coincidence that it could not be ignored. After hours of deliberation I had to think alone about the acts my wife wishes for me to carry out. After going back and forth, I realized that it must be done for the greater good of my family line, and I prayed that the earth shall help me carry out this deed without any issues.

       I have chosen my path. I am wishing for all the guile and cunningness that the world could provide, as if I am caught in the act of this heinous crime, it would mean the end for me and my line. It took me hours to build up the strength needed to follow through with this ambitious plan devised by my wife, but the bell has been rung, and I must go complete my duty as a man. For if I fail, I not only fail myself, but I fail the vows of my wife, and break the trust that we share. By the end of the night, I will either be one step closer from the king, or forever forsaken to guilt, shame, and eventually, dishonorable death. -JW

Feelin' like Jon Snow

Dear readers,
      I can't believe what I have been told. King?! Some witches in a forest predicted that I would become Thane of Cawdor, as well as King, and I couldn't believe it! Now the Thane of Cawdor has been executed for treason and I have gained his title. All the sweetness of victory in battle has soured into dark ambitions. I want to be King, but I don't think I can bring myself to step on those that trust me to get higher in life. And only to make matters worse, Malcom has been named next in line for the throne. I will not only have to betray one of my closest friends to get the crown, but I will have to get rid of his son as well. What should I do?? Hopefully when I return home my wife Lady Macbeth can help me find my way.
