Through the most questionable post service Tehodis could locate -- criminals seemed less likely to share such a letter with the SSPB -- she finally sent him a message. Him, that haunting past she always feared was at her tail. The one that no longer seemed quite so frightful as her present.
The simple piece of parchment, sealed with wax and lacking a sigil, traveled the world. Down from Aissic over the eastern seas to Acheron. Through the stormy veil of the south to access Malscure -- and then from the paws of Cowell's own trusted Aramis Tillo, rushed into Atton to reach the Imperator's hands at the soonest moment possible.
And still it had been near a month before it graced its recipient's door.
Imperator Cowell,
I understand that you know me, or knew me. I'm afraid I cannot say the same, though I know they are not the words you wish to read. It is unfortunate then that I am writing this in the hopes that you can offer me aid in my time of great need. It seems cruel, but if what I have heard of you-- or of us-- is true, then perhaps I am not writing this in vain.
Though I do not remember you, it has recently become apparent that something dire has occurred to me, perhaps the very thing that spirited the girl I once was away from you. I have missing time, missing thoughts, and an inability to recall them with any great success. It is somewhat like a piece of my mind has been removed, emptied, erased-- And those around me tell tales of who I was, tales to which I cannot relate.
I believe I now know the cause of this loss. It is not magic, but something far more nefarious. I cannot write openly about it here, but I hope you can understand that my situation is imperative.
I would not ask of you something for nothing, so I offer this: I will listen to your story of who you believe I am. Open-heartedly so. Whatever it is you wish to show me, I shall see. And from you, I hope to retain help. Safety. For me, and my friends.
I hope this letter finds you, and I hope you are able to return it. I do not know where I shall be, but perhaps with use of magic... Please, if you can help, if you are willing to help, if what people say about Tristan Cowell and Tehodis Kitai is true-- Help me.
