Letter to Luke 6

by Hayley Thomas

Dear brother,

I am happy to hear you have arrived safely back at Caern Fussil and that Amarra has accepted you again for training. I told you not to worry about it. She saw the potential in you five years ago, and that has not changed, quite the contrary. Your power will also recover in time, I am sure of that.

We knew that things wouldn’t go well with Seraphine, deep down we knew. A Fiend at full power, completely restored? She would never have been the same as the sweet girl you freed from the cultists, and the one you introduced to me. It is almost sad to restore her to her full being, but it was the right thing to do.

I know you will miss her, just as you miss Emily and Lyra. They have all added experience and joy to your life, and even if it all didn’t work out, it helped shape you into the man you are now. Still an idiot sometimes, but still beloved and caring.

After we parted I traveled back to my village with Zem and Saphira, and I am afraid it will take a while to recover from the ordeal. Not since the encounter with the Yeth Hound have I been so close to death. Yet I think the wound to my pride from falling into the river, twice, while trying to cross it, will take longer to heal.

I am still grateful that you didn’t laugh, and very grateful for drying my clothes, but I saw the twinkle in your eyes nonetheless.

Now I will go back to my tasks, help the people here. There are births to attend to, and wakes to hold. Did you know that sitting with the dead, showing them the way to the afterlife, is quite peaceful? I usually just take a book to read though. Don’t tell anyone.

You’ll also be pleased to hear that Bill and Bianca are doing well, and are expecting. We’ll have more goats to name soon. I also expect to bring some freshly made goat cheese to our next meeting. I assume you are going to the festival right? I expect a lot of our old friends will be there. Five years will have passed so Liliana’s enslavement should finally have ended.

Five years…A lot has happened, and even though it may feel you are right back where you left off, I can assure you brother of mine, you are not. You have experienced and changed, lived and loved and grown.

A wise man told me recently that it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.

I will give my regards to Zem and Saphira, and hope to see you soon in Keralon! You still owe me drinks, and at least a good pastry.

Your loving sister,

Hayley
