Drew Keawe was the heir to the throne of the Star Kingdom of Hawaii when I first met her. Today she is something far better. She is one of the powers behind the throne. She speaks with the words of the throne on her lips wherever she goes. I’ve escorted her to many events over the years. She rather enjoys showing me off to those who think themselves her peers. And I enjoy acting the crazy Cowboy to them. It really sticks in the craws of those who would rather see us Cowboys dead and our memories buried in the past. She knows something they don’t, you see. There will always be a place for us in the worlds. And Drew wants to make sure her people and her kingdom are on the right side of history when it comes calling. And it will come calling, sooner or later.

Drew Keawe came out of the closet after War’s End. Her death had been widely known, her life a deep secret, and the things she did belonged to another name entirely. But she came home after War’s End and she returned to her old duties as a princess of the Star Kingdom of Hawaii. A genuine war hero, she had come back from the dead and everything. There were parades in her honor. Grown men and women threw themselves at her feet. There were even serious marriage proposals from a dozen Families. She turned them all down. I heartily approved of that. She was way better than any of them deserved. In my totally biased opinion of course. She helped lead Hawaii into a whole new world of possibilities in the decades that followed. Many of which most of us never dreamed of. She has changed the fortunes of entire worlds for the better. She’s pretty amazing like that.

Mom’s battle with cancer appears to be going better today than it was two weeks ago. She’s in considerably less pain, is getting around better, is thinking and concentrating much better, and her blood tests and blood pressures are running good according to her doctors as of Friday. Her headaches are gone. We’re going to have a heart test on Monday to see if the heart toxicity levels are in check. Mom has had 6 of 10 radiation treatments and is doing fine. On every measurement we have, Mom is doing better. Considerably better. This week I will start having her measure out her own meds again with my supervision. I think she can do it but wish to verify first. I ask for prayers that she continue to improve and fight off the cancer again.

Drew Keawe’s father was the king of the Star Kingdom of Hawaii, and he took her death real badly. So when Drew came back, the first place I insisted we go was to visit him. He deserved to know she was back, even if her being alive was still a closely guarded secret. It was a good thing we did, because he knew a lot more about what was going down back home than the rest of us did. I won’t say he was part of the problem, you understand, but he knew the people who were very well. And when I brought his daughter home to him, let’s just say that changed his mind on a great many things. Drew could be most persuasive, and the secrets she brought back were real world changers. She brought an entire Star Kingdom to our side when we needed them, and that changed everything.

I didn’t meet Drew again until after War’s End. She showed up with a fleet and totally blew my mind. Blew my mind in a good way, by the way. I was… overjoyed to have her back, and she was happy to collect the winnings on her bets. She correctly wagered what my response would be upon seeing her, you see. Though she would say it was no gamble on her part, because she had some inside knowledge on what made me tick. Jasmine was telling tales about me. So I have sworn to tell tales about Drew. Drew made the difference out there. Well, they all did technically, but I’ll spend my life emphasizing her contribution. Even as I know she wishes I wouldn’t. What can I say? I like watching her blush when I tell the tales of her heroism. Especially since she really did make a great deal of difference out there. Every good tale must have a kernel of truth after all.
