Amelia stretched lightly, as she was working on some design sketches for several hours, now. She turned, looking at the charcoal drawing of her beloved family. It was about time, to get a frame for it. A light wave of homesickness crawled up on her and so she took her quill and a parchment, beginning to write.
Beloved brother,
it has been a while, since my last letter, and I hope, I did not worry you too much, but a lot has happened. A lot of awful things, to be honest, but also some wonders. The situation with Gray grew dire, day by day. He and his minions, Valherian included, took the Necktie in and slaughtered poor Horace, one of the druids, showing of his remains as a sign of warning.
It was Inara’s prayer to the Five that brought eternal peace to his soul, for as she head plead to them, Bràgon’s holy flame burned for several days, unable to be extinguished, then his ashes were washed to the earth, due to Tanora’s mercy and finally welcomed by Ushara’s embrace, while Findari’s warm breeze carried his hat to the hands of Yridia as a memento for his friends and family.
I did not know him personally, yet I’m shocked by the brutal cruelty, he must have suffered. Times are dark and frightful since his cruel death, more than ever. But this clear sign of the creators gleamed like a beacon of hope throughout all the lands. However, there was a funeral held, to give his soul a last home to rest.
Oh, how much I miss you! And how much I miss home! But I can’t leave here. Just because it is like oz is. I am needed here, not only as a medico. I hope I can help the others, trying to bring some hope, laughter and smile. Also, I’m deeply worried for my dear friend Cynthia. Jacob is gone for months, without any sign of live, and she is a mere shadow of herself. I hope he is alright and Sirani may guide and protect him, bring him back save.
Which hurtfully reminds me of my own heart. You were so right about him, Peter. He was so cold when I ended up in hospital again. No worries, I have fully recovered by now. But after a horrible incident at the Temple of the Five, which I don’t want to recall here, he cast away my love and affection and shattered my heart to pieces, chasing me off. It hurts so much, I wanted to pack my belongings, and run home, immediately! It is hard to walk around Galmair with memories lurking everywhere, but I decided to stay and be strong for now, or at least to try, not least for Aly, Inara and Lady Eleanor talking it out of me. Also for Clairette and Azure, of whom I will tell you more, next time. Era and Oxi have my back, giving me comfort and support as well. I hope you don’t mind, but I must confess, they feel like a kind of family to me, too. Though, I will always cherish our beloved parents, of course!
That shall be the end of my letter, as work is calling again. I hope you are well and safe and my beloved home recovers with the help of Inara’s … friends? Please give my regards to all our friends and neighbours. I will write again, soon.
May Sirani bless and protect you!
Love,
~ Ami
Someone has knocked at the door and she folded the letter, setting it aside to send it off later.
“Who’s there…?”
