Something Is Different

Hello Siobhan,
 
I am writing this to let you know that the next time I see you, you will notice something different about me. Remember how you trained me to keep my shield up? Well, I followed your training to the letter. However, you could have never trained me for what happened next. All I can say is "OH NO, IT ALL WENT WRONG!"
 
I miss you Siobhan, but I'm so glad you weren't there to see what happened to me. We went after a Yeren. You would have been so proud. I didn't let my size get in the way of a good fight. It turns out the Yeren was actually Xaden wearing a cursed mask. It was a bloody mess. Xaden, our little halfling friend was now 6'10" and had the strength of 100 orcs, or so it felt. I never could have imagined in all of my life that a creature could take an arm and remove in a swift pull. It all happened so fast I can barely imagine it actually happened to me. He not only removed my shield arm as I was protecting myself but clubbed me with my own arm as well.
 
Thankfully the crew you met was able to act quickly before I came to more harm. I'm not entirely sure who healed me, I just remember feeling relief for just a moment before the rage took over. Fip was incredible as always, they all were. The fight did not last long, but it will have long lasting effects. Be sure to congratulate Vi and Xaden as they're about to add to the community. Don't let on to Xaden that you know what he did, I'm not sure he even understands or knows what he did.
 
Anyway, I'm not sure when or if I'm going to have a chance to send this letter, but understand you are missed more than you know. I keep you close with me on all of our adventures, as I wouldn't even be an adventurer if it wasn't for you. I hope to see you soon and maybe give you this letter as well. You know how I am with words. On paper, I'm a chatterbox, but put me in front of someone and I clam up tight. I'll see you soon enough and keep praying to whomever. It may keep me from losing more limbs.
 
Your Wild One,
