Letters From The Past

It wasn't a traditional message in a bottle, more of a glass box that seemed it has been drifting in ocean and sea for so many months, but it was never rested nor the letter faded. The waters knew where to go and whom to look for specifically. None of the pass-byers saw anything but a ripple, as if it was a fish under the water. But when the one of a small blue stature, the glass box slowly surfaced against the shoreline, a vague pop like a bubble was heard; in hopes to gain the attention from the creature.

Inside the glass box was folded parchments of paper. Unfolding it, the ink was a specific kind...the kind that the blue critter mentioned to a certain lady. The kind where the ink rose when it was completely dried.

Darling Renne,

It seems it has been so many years since I held ye; smelled ye, looked at ye so lo'ingly. Me journey has been equally long and troublesome as yer own.

After ye left to fight Hunter, I went to search for ye. Noone should e'er go out and fight like that on their own. Hunter also followed I, calling himself "The Darkness." He toyed with I, playing with me emotions and experience of the journey. Trust I, ye would not belie'e I if I told ye how it all occurred.

There was a battle with The Darkness and I, but in the end, I could not win fer I belie'ed that ye were gone from the 'Erses fere'er. Renne, ye more than anyone gi'e I strength to li'e...to lo'e.

Time-Father sa'ed I from becoming The Darkness's toy. Howe'er, I had to tra'el through time; li'ing many li'es to remember e'erything. Who I was. What I did. I spanned o'er fi'e-hundred years to remember it all. There was e'en a little figurine of ye and it looked exactly like ye. ...Sadly, I was in this country called Germany and could not keep it; but I remember it.

I ha'e seen the past and the future. What has happened in the past and what will happen; and nothing can change it. Not e'en what has truly happened to the Harbours.

During both of our own journeys, The Darkness raided on the Harbours and Port-Town while I was not there.

I could not protect them. I promised the town-folks years befere we met to protect and watch o'er the Port-Town and the Harbours. I failed.

Time-Father changed it all, though. All are now li'ing, howe'er; noone can lea'e the Harbours or Port-Town--not e'en the folks who were 'isiting the night I left to find ye in RhyDin City which might be now two-and-a-half years ago. I am allowed to lea'e six months at a time, but I must stay within the Port-Town and Harbours fer a year there-after.

It seemed only two days since yer last letter was recei'ed by I; but as I am writing this, it will be nearly two weeks. But fer Time to keep up correctly, a full day to the Town-Folk is only twel'e hours to I. So, I am sure it is present time that ye recei'e this as I am stuck in the previous year. Do not worry, the next time ye write a letter, I will recei'e it in present time. And I will be in present time within se'en months yer time. Fer now, I am staying within the Harbours, I do suggest not to come here; fer it will be more confusing than this letter.

Ye will recei'e letters from I from me present time and yer past time. As soon as Time here in the Harbours and Port-Town are caught up with the Time outside, I promise to find ye again. And this search, nothing--no Darkness or Time-Father--will stop I to ha'e ye in me arms again.

Until Time is present, ye are allways in me heart and mind.

'Nathan.

P.S. Thank ye so kindly fer the beautiful bracelet. I will wear it with pride.

P.P.S. Of course I will marry ye, Silly Mongoose. Me last name is not Tapole-Arc'err fer nothing. Once we are married both in the way ye wish and in the Heart-Binding way, I will call meself Johnathan Helena Arc'err and say it with pride and joy.

P.P.P.S. Did ye meet some gent who goes by the name of The Doctor? 'Ery strange and rather young chap to be a doctor.

P.P.P.P.S. Really ha'e nothing to say here, I just like writing the "P"s.

A Long Distance Current Apology

The delivery man knew where to go. Mail and Parcel couriers always knew where everyone was at all times--with updates every other day. This man, strangely, knew where the blue creature would be. He was dressed like any normal person would be, just with a large brown satchel with letters and small boxes in it.

"Renne Arc'err. Letter Delivery."

Seeing Renne perk his ears up in curiosity, he bowed a bit and placing the thick envelope in his hand. Bowing again, the delivery man went off. Not to be seen again until the next mail piece for Renne arrives.

The envelope itself was a bit of the rough paper, but inside, though was a smooth texture with the letters raised by the ink he knew.

Darling Angel-Heart,

My apologies fer not speaking a word to ye. Me heart did not understand barely anything anymore.

I wanted a home. More of the fact that I want a home with ye. RhyDin City was ne'er that home fer I. I ha'e allways been the Outsider and allways will be. The Harbours was me true home. Which is where I am once again.

Not all of them accepted I with welcome arms again, and I understand. I lied to them and left them despite the fact they abandoned I. I will rebuild. I will rebuild with what is left of the Towns-Folk to ha'e back what we all lo'ed. But the rebuilding and regaining the strength will take time and patience, we all know of this.

I understand, me Renne, if ye wish to stay in RhyDin City. But I would be happy--no--I would be honoured if ye come and 'isit the Harbours again. ...Do mind the rubbish and the reconstruction areas, though.

The Harbours are me home and the Towns-Folk are me family. In the deepest of me heart, it allways ha'e been. But there is one thing that me heart and me mind knows better than anything else--a home and family that I desire will ne'er be complete without ye in me arms.

Fere'er yers,

'Nathan
