A letter

To Eoin
 
Hullo laddie! This is daid.
 
I don't know when you'll get this letter, but I hope you and your mum is well. She's probably the one reading you this letter, hug her for me, will ya son?
 
Daid had to go on a little adventure. A woman came to me in Nialls bar and needed my help with an important mission in another land that only your pa could do! Duty is important, just like I've taught you, and this was urgent so I had to go!
 
You're not gunna believe what I've done these last few days. I've gone on a large ship! I've met some more minotaurs, you know the large big cowmen I pointed out to you once in town? One of them owns the ship, can you imagine? And yer daid is stronger then them so they thought it good to have me on the ship to help.
 
This ship is a a big team, out to help people. We've helped an entire coast! The coast had a big problem with a biiig evil thing. Can you imagine what it was? A dragon! A real dragon!
 
The King of this land wanted your daid and his friends help with saving the poor people of the coast from the big bad dragon, and off yer pa went with his friends, on camels nonetheless! We rode over lots of sand, sand as far the eye can see in fact! But then we could see a tower in the middle of all the sand, the dragon's lair!
 
Your daid and one of his friends tried to talk to the dragon, just like I taught you. Always talk to the bad things first. The dragon was too evil though, and all of a sudden the dragon attacked pa and his friends.
 
Your old man and his friends are quite the fighters though, you know. We won over both the evil dragon and the evil dragons helper. We saved the poor people of the coast! So now you can tell all your friends that your pa is not just the strongest man in Kilbarrow, but he is also the dragonslayer! And you, Eoin, you are the son of the dragonslayer. My treasure, and my pride.
 
Don't worry, I made sure to save some of dragon for a little trophy for you. Your mom probably won't like it but when I'm home we'll put it up together you and I. Our secret, right?
 
I will be back before you know it, alright curadh? Just have to save this land some more. Hope your mom hugs you lots from me. I miss you both.
 
Love, daid.
 
Keira, I know this must be hard for both you and Eoin, and I know this wasn't how things were supposed to be. Something happened, I don't know what or how, but there was an ambush. I'm in the Yelanids. I've found a good crew, and I'm safe. Disregarding the dragon but that was an one-time happening, promise.
 
Darling I need you to be very, very careful. I promise to return to you, but you must also promise to be there when I do. You and Eoin are what keeps me going. Keep me in your prayers, as you are in mine.
Is leatsa mo chroí, go deo.
 
Kisses and hugs,
Your very own fecking idiot
