The rest of the day followed as usual, as if Hope's open act of rebellion had been a simple joke. But by the time Ixion returned to his chambers, he found himself up late at night at his personal desk with a quill and scroll before him.
There was one thing he was certain of now that Hope was gone… his kingdom would soon follow.
But Ixion did not distress. Instead, he mulled over the things he wanted to accomplish before the inevitable destruction.
Guided by what the strange traveler had shown him, he created a list of things he wanted — or had — to do before he died…
He didn't know what to call the list, so he simply titled it: 'No Regrets.'
Then, with a tired mind, he began scribbling away until the list had amassed 69 tasks he wished to accomplish.
