Letter from Willow to Athir

[Hinoten]

My dearest,
Wisp grows stronger by the day, and has taken to travel just as well as you and I. We miss you but know we shall meet up soon. She has great love for Poet and Zeravica, both are kind enough to keep watch of her as I tend to Order matters.

My dreams have a visitor, Morpheus a Arch Fae of dreams. Marcus was kind enough to gift his favor to me, one that I wasn’t certain of how and if it could be transferred. Simply the intent appeared to be enough though as he came to me in a dream in the following weeks. I discussed my plight, this blood curse that links my family to the Earl King and eventual call to the hunt. Morpheus explained that this curse could not be lifted just by his hands, I must find four Fae in Astrel to participate in a ritual to help break the pull on our daughter. Four Fae tied to the four seasons would be the strongest chance of success. I was overjoyed with this, as this is the most progress that we’ve made of freeing Wisp from this curse.

I told Marcus who gave the suggestion of speaking with Hermes, a Fae of the Summer Court. I had spoken with him previously about dealings with Fae and his intent seemed sincere. He agreed to help with the ritual in exchange for a favor, I agreed as long as it did not harm my child. He accepted, I hope this will not cause problems, but at the very least, Hermes is one of the Fae I am least concerned about…
There are two other Fae that I plan to ask, but Larken seems…off. She has shown dark urges and the color of the Spring flowers that adorn her attire is fading. I fear she may be under the influence of something and so I am wary to ask her to participate in such magic in her current state. The other, Raine, a half siren, his behavior has been becoming erratic. His scales have been surfacing heavily, and I can’t remember the last time that he has visited the ocean. Both of them are not in the right state of mind that I feel I can trust them to put proper will into a ritual. I have to figure out how to help them.

The fourth I am not certain…I am not sure if there is Autumn Fae among the citizens of Meadowmere, at least not that I am aware of.

On top of this there is a rising cult among beastfolk called “Sanctuary”. Initially they appeared harmless. Further interactions have shown a rise in violence and desecration of artifacts. Be careful, my love. I don’t think this Sanctuary and their Gaurdian should be taken lightly.

Our next route leads us to Ancuram, in search of a Sage named Ed. I do not look forward to going home. We must visit Sheelin, and I have already commited a taboo of speaking of the city to outsiders. Hopefully there has been enough time passed for the mark my family has left to have faded a little, though I fear some may not accept us still.

Your loving Wife,
Willow of Return Astrel
