Dearest Mother,
I know it has been a little while since I last wrote you. The strangest thing happened to one of our companions. I know you know about magical rebounds when a spell goes bad. I studied about them some in school. Well we learned that the druid that is traveling with us called Scree had one such rebound happen to her once. From what I was told she interrupted a spell and she was fused with another person. Well one morning she did not come down to breakfast and when we found her room it was not her in it but this other man that said he was fused inside of her for months. He is a little arrogant and we do not like him as much as Scree but we will put up with him until she returns. We hope she returns soon.
Well we have had a local problem here in Dewbreak of deer being killing in the woods and only their antlers being taken. Well we investigated this problem and it was worse than we could have imagined. We entered the woods by Dewbreak and found many sets of deer carcasses that have been skins and the antlers removed. We were tasked with burning the remains and trying to stop this from happening. We even got attacked by wolves during the time and I did as you told me and flew in the air to protect myself from the wolves. One of our other companions tried the same thing and was pulled back down quickly by the wolves and almost eaten. The guy that has switched bodies with Scree does not have our love for the forest and almost set the whole place on fire with his spells. We learned that a person was harvesting those parts and leaving the bodies to rot. We did finally find the people that were taking the body parts and a fight broke out. Once again I took to the air and used the magic I gain from you and father to quickly help kill them. Sometimes I do not know my own power and when I hit one of them, I exposed them with my raw power. We put an end to those poachers and found a portal that leads us to a house just outside of Frandyln. During all of this we learned that one of our companions is actually a changeling. We explored this grandiose house that a person with a gigantic ego made. I know you have heard about the missing fauns, well we found them. They had been captured by the owner of the house and being used for some ritual and other unspeakable things. We saved all of them and put that evil man to an evil end. I was smart in that battle and instead of just trying to hurt this man, I used my magic to blind him so that he could not hurt my friends. As a reward we were gifted the house. It will reduce the travel time we need between those two cities to just a few days. I do hope to come see yall soon but I know that father is not ready to see me again because I have not proven myself enough in his eyes. I do hope to one day prove myself. I would love to see yall again but until you tell me that you are ready to see me I will keep my distance and try to prove myself. I did recently receive your first letter. I was so happy to hear from you. I do miss yall so. Please do not worry to much about me. I come from two strong bloodlines and I will be safe. Any time I am worried about a fight, I use the wings I got from your family to keep off the ground and out of reach. Also my scales I got from father have proved to protect me greatly. I got a chance to use the vial you gave me when I left but there was a small problem. In order to use it I must have been hurt and I had to ask two people in our group to punch me enough to hurt me a little. They tried very hard to hit me but could not do anything because of those great Goldscale scales. Father would be happy to know that I am very strong but I do not believe he will be willing to read this letter to hear how strong I have become because of his noble bloodline. Do please try to show him the letters. Even if he refuses to read them, I would be happy to know that you at least tried. I know you worry but I must do these dangerous things in order to regain my place by yall's side.
-Your son,
-Fip Goldscale.
