Governor Helston al-Amat,

It has now come to the attention of the general public via the notice board of the Duel of Swords that the personage presently claiming the name Deathlord Jesse DeAngelo Van Bokkelen Eternity Graziano Helston O"Neill Smith, currently the Keeper of Earth, is claiming to be a representative of the Rhydin government and acting on its behalf (i.e. your behalf). While she has not posted such, as yet, on the notice boards, she has also told various people that you have told her all things are hers by right and that she has your permission to engage in activities that are varied and nefarious. Considering how the young lady's mind seems to work, she may have interpreted lack of an answer from you at some point to be permission. I thought you should be aware of how your good name is being bandied about.

It is public knowledge that a dead body of a creature matching the description of what Rakeesh calls a Khul-din was found in the sun porch sleeping quarters above my daughter's law office. I had planned to contact you regarding some information that was uncovered regarding these creatures. Unfortunately, circumstances require me to remain silent on matter at this time. Two children in and close to my family being assaulted is a coincidence. A second incident and third child being involved has caused us to be circumspect on the matter and to consider the possibility that our children are purposeful and not accidental targets due to their magical gifts. I do regret any inconvenience this may cause, but as a mother, I am sure that you would put Raza and Lirssa's safety above everything else.

Sincerely,

Colleen Fenner

A copy of Jesse's notice was attached.

Collie,

The most important things first: Do what you must to protect your family. You have my support and understanding in this, and I hope you know that if there is any aid I can give you that you need, you have only to send word. No explanations are needed. Keep your babies and grandbabies safe.

That said, let me thank you for the heads up about the other situation.

It should go without saying that no one speaks for me but me. I think most understand this with respect to Jesse or anyone else. I am not overly concerned there.

Speaking between us, it saddens me that so many people are offended or irritated by Jesse. I've seen many people recently lash back out at her in annoyance, as if what she is saying is serious or has the weight of authority behind it. I have even witnessed some behavior by a few that I would categorize as cruel, descending into taunts and even behavior intended to cause the girl physical harm.

We've known each other for a number of years. You may remember, not so long ago, when I suffered from the result of a psychical affliction that was the result of a magical assault. I was treated by some people in town in much the same way I see Jesse being treated now. It's unnecessary and unkind, and when I can, I will step in to offer her protection from it because I understand how hurtful it is, and remember what it is like to see myself do things that people labeled as odd, with no way of explaining myself.

She's mostly harmless, easily distracted and kept happy with simple things. If those who are more fortunate could humor her a little, enjoy the whimsicality that comes with her brand of madness, and offer her harmless distractions that divert her energies from the things that are annoying them, they would find her much more amenable and might even find her to be amusing and innately affectionate.

Stay well and safe. Share my love with your family.
