Lately I have been thinking about souls. I have also been thinking that I shouldn't be thinking about souls because I still have not finished thinking about the Light for the first draft of my essay. There is only one section left for me to write. Maybe that is why I do not want to write it. I am afraid -- actually, not afraid, more embarrassed, as I feel myself blushing even just writing this -- I am embarrassed to firmly state, "this is indeed what I believe the Light is," I guess because the firmness of my belief does not actually exist and really I am very ignorant and extremely confused.

But I ought to finish it so that I can begin to translate it. I am very worried about Astrolabe, I have never seen her have a sad mood that lasted this long. If we become busy writing and translating, maybe she will become enthusiastic and laugh with excitement again. I cannot give my body for her consumption to please her, but I can give my words for her critique and please her?

Then I will show it to Helaah. Abelar told me that he and Helaah used to write each other letters about the Light and ethics before their marriage. I would really like her to criticize and help me.

But I'm a little bit extremely terrified.

I guess I better get to work.

Although we were victorious over the demons in all areas of Quel'Danas, Kael'thas eluded our forces once again. The Shattered Sun immediately set up defenses around the Sunwell, but I fear that as long as Kael'thas lives, they will regroup, then resume their attacks.

But I cannot even think about that. Astrolabe is gone. When I went to collect my journal, Anchorite Nindumen said she had taken it with her when she left for the Exodar to begin an apprenticeship under one of the Vindicators there. She left while we were on Quel'Danas; she did not wait to bid me farewell.

I know she would not do this of her own accord. I sought out her parents, but I could not find Abelar and Helaah would not speak to me. I asked Ishanah, but even she treated me coldly. I am afraid her parents turned against me; maybe they are even spreading lies. Astrolabe would not do this.

I believe Astrolabe would not do this.

I am too upset to write. What am I going to do when the flower wilts?

Vindicator Aesom,

I write to you on behalf of my daughter, who is being trained in the ways of the Light by the Aldor. I understand that the people of the Exodar are still troubled by blood elves to the north; if you have a shortage of personnel, I would be honored if you would consider my child for an apprenticeship to one of your paladins.

Astrolabe is not yet a hundred, and as her body is still weak, I am not sure how useful she would be as a soldier; however, she has a talent with the Light, and her teachers believe she has potential as a healer. I have enclosed a letter from Anchorite Nindumen regarding her training thus far.
