Two replies already things looking good so far you piece of smut!! I haven?t heard back from Victor or Etten but that is probably because Etten is the one that got the mail. That doesn?t really matter though because last night I ran into another very old, extremely powerful friend that I hadn?t seen in years that is even better than either of them.

I ran into Darkmere. We had a little talk and he is willing to help me out. So there is another lined up. I am more and more worried that dealing with all this darkness is going to pull me down into its depths. But I can not stop now. I have my friends to think about and their safety.

The only way I know to fight this threat to them is to deal in the same coin that the scum sucking toad and his friends deal in. I have always had friends from these walks of life it just isn't something that is commonly known and I don't normally ever ask favors from them either.

I?m going to send out one more letter. I don?t know what happened but I?m going to send the letter anyway. Maybe I can reach them and maybe not. I figure it is worth a try. Icer was telling me the strange woman is still hanging around and even Fay was acting weird last night looking out the window and stuff.

Don?t let me forget I really need to catch up with Grem and talk to him about the leg shackles and manacles before too many more days go by. I really, really do need to get him set on the right path and fast like

Jean has been so very sweet and understanding about all of this. Last night when I stepped aside to speak with Darkmere he gave me a kiss and let me have the conference I needed to have in private. Goddess I do love him. He knows he can trust me just like I know that I can trust him.

Oh! But the really great news I have is Icer and Aurthur are getting married!!! They asked Jean and I to stand up with them so I get to go shopping for another new dress!!!!! I am so excited! Of course my husband looked like he was gonna faint at the prospect of me going shopping but I?m sure he will survive. He may have to do a little pirate business rather sooner than expected but we will be all right I figure with my two new jobs.

They are gonna get married as soon as possible they say so I need to be getting my dress and Jean?s tux quickly. No time to waste and they both have to be blue to match the dragon?s colors they want for their wedding.

Even though when I was calling Duels downstairs in the Arena last night Imp went on a rampage against him after he saw Jean and I kissing. It wasn?t even a big kiss or anything! I?m talking just a little kiss between us.

That Imp poofed above my Jean?s head and began hitting him repeatedly!!!!!! I was busy calling a duel at the time and was absolutely horrified when my fellow duel caller began to attack my husband right there in front of God and everybody I?m here to tell you right now! Imp was also calling a duel at the time!

Well my beloved French Pirate could not contain himself and really I guess I can not blame him but still you can not go around threatening to shoot a caller when they are on duty! He pulled both his flintlocks from his belt and cocked them, had them aimed for the tiny blue terror too!

I was pulling at Imp?s ears trying to get him off Jean to no avail, the Imp was dug in tight and kicking and biting and hitting Jean about the head. I had not realized that one kiss would set the little fellow off to such an extent. I did not realize that I was -his- womens and the P?Imp?s womens did not go around kissing ?ugly womens?.

That did not turn out well at all to say the least. I was trying to sit on him to get him calmed down while Jean was being beat on and bitten and yelled out. The duelers were still dueling away and those that weren?t dueling were too busy laughing to be any assistance in the melee that the callers couch had turned into.

When at last I got hold of the Imp he just went completely limp in my arms. We all thought he was DEAD he was all of a sudden that still and quiet. We were planning the funeral when all of a sudden just like quicksilver he came back to life and latched his teeth onto my Jean?s hand!!!!

Oh the horror of it all!! There I was my first night back in the Arena in uniform and I was trying to remember how to call duels and be all official like and my husband was threatening my mentor and my mentor was beating up on my husband and I was trying to call duels and well it just was for sure not a pretty thing.

I finally got Imp?s jaws pried loose from Jean?s hand and we finished the evening?s dueling up and I?m going back there next Thursday with Imp for another mentored shift with him. Just between you and me I do think that Imp is just adorable!

If I can just get Matt or Kheldar to give me that raise we will be doing better than all right! But from what Matt was saying the Outback is in a sad situation so that doesn?t look like it will be happening in the near future.
