The Witch

That Damned witch. I should have known that her convenient assistance would come to prove a betrayal. I wonder really what interest the corrupter would have with controlling beings within a tainted feywild. The chaotic magics themselves would prove only to spread uncontrollable corruption. This is not good. If Vienna is able to create an abomination such as the creature we had faced, then it gives me room enough to make a sound judgement on taking her life. The more I come to trust in the decision making of my companions, the more I am later proven to regret.
 
Dearest Esteria, I pray to find myself at the mercy of my duties so that I may find a momentary respite that I may share. I pray that Manilla will grow to her second summer. Let my son's will be true as he will steel himself in my place should I come to fall. I hope that the harvest was fruitful and the mercantile kind. I will unfortunately be late for holiday even though I promised to give my gift. That is why I sent a courier ahead to greet you.
