Dear Faith,
I am glad to hear you're well, I will be alright. This Padraig person sounds rather interesting. I am glad he makes you happy. Just keep yourself safe, I'll try to write next when I can.

Dear Faith,
I am glad to hear you're doing well. Rafael is a good person, even though he may not appear that way. I will be leaving Rynmere soon, I think it is the best decision for me right now. I've given some thought to freedom and I've come to the conclusion that it is often a lie. Please stay safe. I will write soon
Aeon
7th
Dear Faith,
Remind Padraig that messing with things that weren't meant for mortals can have unexpected dangers, please. I would hate to see you, or the man you love, injured. I am glad to hear you are loved, and I have to agree, freedom is complicated. I'll be in Andaris for the next couple of trials, staying at the Inn, if you wish for us to meet. I miss you, and I will write again when the opportunity presents itself.

Dear Faith,
It is not selfish, it is sensible. I have in fact realised several things in the past few trials. I've been interested in death for quite a while. What do you think death means? I think it is not as bad as people say it is, I think they're just afraid of the unknown. Please stay safe, I've learned that not all men can be trusted. And please, if you come across him, do not trust Malcolm Krome. From what you told me about your experience in the war, I presume you know Elyna Burhan. Which means that you know her husband too, but I beg of you, don't let your guard down around him, he is a dangerous, manipulative man. All the kingdom thinks he is sixty seven arcs old, which is quite clearly not true. I will write again tomorrow, and I wish you well.

This is strange, but I am delighted to write it. I hope you are well and that all is good with you.

Aeon,
Oh such cringe! Padraig and Tristan met yesterday ~ it was awful. Also, we went to a street party where we just had a lovely time. I am happy and well, but I worry about you and how you are. Here if you need to talk
Yours,
Faith

Aeon,
All good here. Work is busy, I am sewing things for people! Padraig and I are settling in well together ~ I miss you and your wisdom. I am quite shoddy at relationships, you know.
Yours,
Faith
4th
Aeon,
How are you? I am well, although it is so very cold! I don't like cold, I have decided. I met a woman tonight, she was running from an attacker - I helped her but I have a cut lip and Padraig is fussing. I hope you are well. I miss you.
Yours,
Faith
5th
Aeon,
Hello! A new trial! I met Rafael Warrick again this trial ~ I have met him before, but this time he wanted some supplies for a mission he was going on. Freedom is so strange, my friend. I am able to help, or not, who I choose. It is bizarre. But yet, I wonder, are any of us truly free?
I am busy and happy I miss seeing you. I hope you are well.
Yours,
Faith
6th
Aeon,
I wonder, sometimes, what freedom means. I think I have concluded that it is a state of mind. Do you agree?
Yours,
Faith
7th
Aeon,
Padraig is learning alchemy. He is doing so well at it. I have my own room, my own space and a man who loves me. Tristan says he loves me too, but I can not be in love with him. Freedom is complicated! I hope you are well, my friend.
Yours,
Faith

Aeon,
Busy in work ~ making a cake meant to represent a rainbow and craft some surprise gifts. Hope you are well!
Yours,

Aeon,
Today, I realised that, no matter who we are, we all arrive here with a history. Did you realise something today?
Yours,
Faith
10th
Aeon,
The spare room is ready. I love Padraig, and he loves me, but he has told me that he wants me to have time to think, time to decide. If what I decide is that I don't want to be with him, he will support me. I feel very loved, but I know that he is right. I need a litte more time. It feels selfish, but I am taking it. You would tell me that it is not selfish, it is sensible, and that is just one of the reasons why I miss you.
Yours,
Faith

Dear Aeon
Why do I call you Aeon in letters, yet you are Fred to me? I am not sure, to be honest, but I'm also not going to question it too much. It is probably for a very silly reason that makes sense only in the darkest corner of my brain. So, I'm going to stop writing to Aeon, and write to Fred ~ it is who you are to me, after all. I am glad that we spoke yesterday, it makes me feel very cared for. Thank you, for everything.
Yours,
Faith
14th
Dearest Fred,
So, we have left and are on our way to Welles. I am afraid, I would be lying if I told you differently. But I feel very cared for, and Padraig does not let me out of his sight. We are on a boat and he and I stay together. Last time I was on a boat, you were there, do you remember? I'm sorry about that kick. It was a strange thing, that boat journey - I was talking about it with Tristan the other day when I was visiting him to help him learn to cook before I left. We have shared such a lot in such a short time!
Yours,
Faith
15th
Dearest Fred,
We are still on the boat. I don't like crowds of people, I feel nervous. I don't know who I can trust and who I can't, so I stay close to the one person I am sure about. I think Padraig might think I've become a limpet!
Yours,
Faith

Dearest Fred,
Still on the boat. Arriving in Welles today. Can't wait to be somewhere that doesn't rock and sway constantly.
Yours,
Faith
17th
Dear Fred,
It's been such a busy trial! We are in Welles. We left the camp overnight and stayed in an Inn, which was wonderful! In the camp, a man by the name of Sintih got involved in a practice match with Malcolm and two of the soldiers - a Lotharro called Kylar and an Ithecal called Atashi (I think?). Sintih attacked Malcolm from behind, with a live blade, although in a scabbard. I know Sintih, I taught him to cook and he invited Padraig and I to his street party, I told you about before. I saw Sintih afterwards, and he grabbed me by the shoulders and dug his fingers in. Padraig saw from across the camp and charged in, but I just Sintih grab me. I don't know why I did that. I suppose freedom comes in different forms and some steps, too.
Yours,
Faith
18th
Dearest Fred,
All continues here. Padraig has not left my side since Sintih bruised me, but he is angry that the man hasn't been expelled from camp for doing so. Lady Elyna took him under her guard and protection after she stripped him of his rank. I trust her and that she is doing the right thing.
Yours,
Faith
19th
Dearest Fred,
All continues here. Went for a walk in the woods today, Padraig and I ~ just needed to get out of camp for a while. Found a kitten who is adorable ~ she has four tails! We have named her Quattro.
Yours,
Faith
20th
Dear Fred,
Still heading to Oakleigh. Hope that you are well. Very much love to you. In case you have not realised, I am trying not to ask questions of you in case you do not wish to answer them, but I would like to know how you are, what you are doing.
With all my love
Yours,
Faith
21st
Dearest Fred,
Nearly in Oakleigh, we'll arrive tonight. Cooking for all these people is busy work. The blessing that Famula gave me means that I am never cold, always warm. I have always hated the cold, it is a wonderful gift.
Yours,
Faith
22nd
Dearst Fred,
Tomorrow, the troops are going to go on a mission. Padraig is going with them and I am staying in the camp. I'm so worried for him, he isn't a soldier. But he has agreed to go and I asked for his promise, as I said to you I would. He gave it. He promised me that he will come back alive and whole, but now I am relegated to worrying about both of you! I will write again tomorrow.
Yours,
Faith
No letter on the 23rd.
24th
Fred,
Sorry not write yesterday. Camp was attacked while they were on the mission, I got horse from my thrown and have concussion. Am fine, but headaches. Will write in a few trials. Brother. Remember that.
Ashan's blessings on you ~ I hope that you are well. I'm sorry I haven't written for a while ~ things have happened which really meant I couldn't. All is fine now, but we have had some very strange experiences. Padraig and I were targeted by Aelig, the Immortal of Illusion and Chaos and that has been rather difficult. He put an illusion of pregnancy on me, but we did not know it was an illusion, of course. He also made it seem like I was suddenly very pregnant, which cast doubts as to who the baby's father was, since one of my duties when Tristan owned me meant that it could be his.
However, Padraig and I discussed it (which is a short version of a long story!) and we decided to raise the child as our own. I went into labour and gave birth before discovering that the whole thing was an illusion. It was very hard, Fred, and things were very emotional. However, we have emerged from it and I am grateful for Padraig in more ways than I have words for.
Also - we are now living on an island called Scalvoris! It is in the far north and east of Idalos. We love it here - they have a newly opened University and Padraig is working as an Associate Professor there, whilst studying both Physics and Chemistry. I'm studying too! Medicine, for me.
I'm sorry I haven't written, but I promise you that you have been in my thoughts and prayers. I miss you and miss knowing that there are people nearby us who we can rely on. My life has been made better by having you as my friend and long may that continue.
It's been awhile - I hope you are alright and well and safe. I will keep it brief ~ Padraig and I are going to be married on the 122nd Vhalar on Scalvoris and I would love it if you could come. I miss you. If you get a moment, let me know that you're alright, would you?
I'm so very relieved to hear from you! I've been so worried! You are in my thoughts and prayers every trial and I am so pleased that you are well. Uthaldria? I have never heard of it ~ why would I not like it? Only tell me what you can, of course.
Things here are moving ~ I've bought a restaurant and I am running it as part of a charity ~ we own a small farm and I put the profits back into the business - it provides accommodation and training to those who need it and they work whilst having somewhere to live, good food and learning a trade. Then, they move on and another person starts; I'm hoping to expand the farmlands soon, and we will be making our own wine. It feels like I'm doing real good, Aeon, and I know that this is one way that I can serve and do so in a way which makes a difference.
I haven't heard from anyone in Andaris - I have written to Lady Elyna twice now, but she has not replied. I hope that she is well. I also hear from Nir'wei now and then and have written to Rafael Warrick, but not heard back yet. Of course, I've invited Tristan ~ I wonder if he'll come!
I don't know what you're doing or what you need to do. However, I want you to know without a doubt that, wherever I am you have a home and someone who cares for you unconditionally. Please stay safe, brother of my heart.
Oh, please, don't apologise. There is never a need to apologise to me, I am just so pleased to hear that you are well. Uthaldria, I had not heard of but I've met two of the Lotharro. One was a very nice man called Kylar. He was on the campaign Padraig and I went on, just after I saw you last? The other one was a chap called Vince who I met here not so very long ago. Intense. Kylar was lovely though.
I've never heard of the Fields you are talking about, but the Sohr Kahl are here too they are beautiful. I understand that it's impossible to meet right now, but we will see each other again, of that I am sure. I have so many things to tell you, my friend. So many stories to share. Most of them are silly and pointless, but I want to share them with you.
I know what you mean about being selfish, but I swear to you by all that I hold dear, I have never been more happy. I am doing what I want to do. I spent my life dreaming of feeling the way I feel every trial; and I don't mean how I feel about Padraig, I never dared to dream anything in my life could be so wonderful as my relationship with him. I mean the knowledge that I am doing what I love to do and doing good from it. It is more than I could ever have hoped for and I am truly thankful for it - but I love my life.
I haven't heard from anyone in Andaris, Fred. It makes me sad, if I'm honest. I wrote to Lady Elyna twice, but not heard back. I worry about her, I really do and I remember her and Lord Krome and baby Elsie in my prayers every night. But speaking of Andaris - I have news there. One of those stories I'll tell you will involve how I know it - but I found out my birth name. I was born as Vesna Nardovino, and I was born in Andaris. I was taken to Athart when I was one trial old. I was born on the 1st Saun and will be 19 when that comes around next. Can you imagine? I have a name.
In typical fashion, though, I don't want it. When Padraig and I marry, I'll become Faith Augustin and that is all the name I want ~ except Velma. Velma will always be a very important name to me.
But no. No I don't want to go back there. There I was a slave and people knew it. Very few people ever saw beyond that. Those who saw the injustice have left there now, which is telling. There is no place that I call home, there are people I call mine. For that, I will always be grateful for being bought by Tristan ~ I met you and Nir'wei and I would not have ~ and of course I met Padraig.
Whilst I live you have a friend who will come should you call. No matter what, no matter where. I believe that knowing the truth of that and knowing it is reciprocated makes us both stronger.
Oh, my brother and my friend, I wish you would stop apologising. I am so happy to know that you are well and here! You are here, in Scalvoris! I am on my way to you, as soon as I finish writing this reply. Padraig is at work, so I will be on my own, but you must come and have a meal with us tonight, come stay with us, there is no need to be at an Inn. Aeon, I have so much news for you. Padraig and I are married, I have a real name now. Faith Augustin. And I'm pregnant! I am so happy and content, I can not tell you.
And you, brother of my heart, I can not wait to see you. I waddle more than I used to, for the child grows quickly, but I will be waddling my way to you now. I can't wait!
Buy some hot chocolate for me - before it cools I will bet there with you!
