It came in a letter, addressed to one Isuelt DeRomiano.
Sealed in an envelope, plain white was this letter. There was no return address but there would be no need for it. If Isuelt wished she knew where to find the sender. She was no enemy, merely a new friend.
A friend who planned to stay out of the war brewing. But all the same the letter came — not containing the best of news or even news that was necessary. But the letter came, written by a feminine hand in black ink, scrawled out on plain white paper.
Isuelt,
I've encountered a mutual acquaintance of ours.
I had gone down to the docks looking for a friend to make good on a promise I made to her. Instead I found a living corpse, Renna, lurking around and apparently feeding on the flesh of the living. I'm not sure you are aware of her current state but I felt it necessary to inform you that she is on the verge of dying.
It looked to be the case anyway to my eyes.
I had actually seen her prior to this exchange but at the time I figured you would have already heard something. But that is not the reason for this missive.
She spoke of your sister and I know, that is painful to read even here. But she spoke of Lexia "ascending" to a higher power and that she had brought justice down on her head (down on Renna). I don't know what that means, if it truly means anything at all, since Renna was being her usual cryptic self. There is a lot I don't understand and you don't need to explain anything to me.
I plan on staying out of whatever is going on.
But I was worried by something else and it is that Renna said:
"They have something far greater to fear now than me."
Something else out for the Scathachians to fear? Again, no idea if she was talking about the figure masquerading as your sister. I just thought you should know. I wish you and everyone there the best of luck.
Yes, I already know I'm lucky to be alive. If you're gawking at this, please close your mouth.
Yours Truly,
Vera Deya
