The truth

[Xerxes]

Dear esteemed members of the land,

I, Brian Duress, have a confession to make.

Years have gone since people heard that name, after my ill-stroke of bad luck I retreated into the wild, to be a hermit
It is there, in the calm wild, where I have taught myself to play a tune or two on my sole companion; the lute.

The will to live eventually slowly returned to me.
Being ashamed as I was to have myself let go that badly, I introduced myself as Brian Duress....Which was nothing more then an alias. Albeit most people took that fake name for granted, old friends of mine started to recognize me.

Most of these people already know my true name, and they talked sense into my thick skull.
I didn`t needed to be ashamed of this; it would`ve been the same for pretty much anybody in my situation.

So with this note, I would like to reveal my true identity:

Signed,

Xerxes
