Role

Chapter 6

Dearest Faelyn,

It saddens me to write this as so much time has passed since my last letter
and so much has happened. I worry since I still haven't heard from you but
remain hopeful that you are well. I'm finding it difficult to put into words
all that has transpired in the many months since I last wrote. I am doing my
best to remain positive but I often find it difficult to do so when surrounded
by such loss.

All of my mentors have passed on to their next journey in the heavens and many
of my brothers and sisters of the Light have retired. The Halls of the
Fortress seem more empty lately than ever before, though I must remain strong
as I am now the Elder Prophet of the Light, attempting to fill my dear mentor
Bazz's shoes. My Lady Azorinne has reminded me that they're my own shoes not
Bazz's, to be the best that I may be, and I trust in her faith and guidance. I
must remain strong and be that shining example for others, no matter how
difficult and lonely I find it to be.

I continue to offer guidance and assistance to all who seek it, judging based
on their individual actions and words. Some have come to deserve justice and
have been brought such, though most are not so far gone they do not deserve
mercy. I have often found that mercy bears richer fruit than strict justice,
but sometimes the Chancellor, and some of its subordinants, have unfortunately
leave me no choice. It is not something that I enjoy or prefer, but alas.

I have grown a serious bond and friendship with Bynna, who has become like a
sister to me. What I've learned of her past troubles me so and my heart hurts
that I cannot help heal her pain. It seems to have made her one of the
toughest people that I know and has likely already healed and moved on, though
it was still difficult to read her words upon that scroll. I'm sorry that I'm
sort of rambling now, though it seemed a little therapeutic for me to do so.
Please, do take care of yourself Faelyn, there are many dark and dangerous
places and people in these lands and I am doing my best to prevent others from
having to go through what Bynna has had to endure.
