Brian read the letter, and re-read the letter.. A faint smile took form, as he recalled the headmaster quite fondly, and in a most respectful manner.. Be it known or not the headmaster, had quite the impact on Brian, and much of the Ravenlock clan, and reading the letter once more, he knew the headmaster, and his impact, would never be forgotten.

Inviting the courier inside, and offering her refreshments, Brian quickly wrote out a reply, to the headmaster.

Headmaster Briarius,

On behalf of my entire family, and loves ones.. Friends of my sister, and her family, I sincerely thank you, for your kind words, and offer in this worst of times, for each of us.

I am most humbled, and thankful for the support of your academy, and while I indeed wish, bringing Jewell, and her children were at all possible, it seems that the fates, have dealt us yet another blow. Unfortunately, it is not possible, to bring any of them back to us, as much as I would offer my own life to do so..

If you would like to assist with the new community partnership center, I would love to speak with you later, on it, or even a dedication at the academy, whichever you would wish. When matters are settled here, Jenai and I will be more than glad, to speak with you, and yours, in regards to that, as I intend to fully move ahead, with a change in direction for myself in regards to making this idea of my sister's, into quite the reaility. I dare say it is time for myself, to step from the shadows, and do what needs to be done, to help the greater whole.

My sister meant a great deal to a great many here, headmaster.. Just as you do to us, and many others. People like you, Jewell and others, are more of what this realm needs. Know that I have never forgotten what you and yours have done for me, and mine and so long as any of us have breath yet, we will stand with you and yours always. Please send our regards to all of yours, and please do not forget the Lady Shauri.. I do miss our talks, indeed.

Blessings to you, and yours always,

Brian Alexander McDineen-Ravenlock

Wishing the courier, a safe journey, Brian watched her take her leave, offering a deep bow in appreciate, for her efforts, and that of her headmaster.. Inside, he went once more, to see to other matters, such as the monument, for the cemetery..
