Mayhue,   Elise.


In Stormwind without death, injury.


Hurried, crowded, noisy, dangerous, and shelter for one night.   Tomorrow, the sea.


Kindness for the snarled and strange is rare.   I would repay with like, but have this only.

Dear Amy,

I hope you have been faring well and not suffering too much torturous anticipation of my next letter. My apologies for getting it out so late; when not madly fiddling with your not-so-furry friend (which I do hope that dear boy Chry has delivered to you by now -- I would not like to know what sort of depraved thoughts might be running through your twisted little head upon reading those words, if he has not) or enjoying the seasonal festivities a bit more than a priestess probably had ought, I have been distracted by all manner of thoughts.

Dear Amy,

I thought I would write to let you know I arrived back home safely and without incident. Luckily, too, as a summer storm came blowing in off the Great Sea right after my ship came to port. It's the season for tempests here; when it's not pouring and thundering, we get to broil under the sun. Quite a change, after spending so much time up north! Once upon a time I was used to this climate, and now I can't even quite imagine how I coped as a girl. Even a linen habit feels oppressively hot; I'm almost tempted to strip and walk the streets naked, but even if one disregards the danger of sun-burn, the law regrettably forecloses that choice.

Seol,

I went to the Cathedral of Stormwind, the way you asked. And I prayed for the health of the Light and for the peace of the Alliance and the Horde to you can sit in the pews some day also, the way you asked. And I tried to see the beautifulness of the building to carry the hope and sadness of Stormwind, the big stone boat, the way you asked. I tried to forgive it and see the beautifulness of it, the way you asked. But I could not do it very well because paladins kill and torture and break knees of "bad people" in the court yard every day I go to it.

You still say a human paladin, to use the shadow of the Cathedral to excuse any thing he does, any cruel thing, is the brother of you?

You have a bad, bad family.

Astrolabe,

I made a mistake. I was very tired while studying and I fell asleep. And now I woke up and the draenei potion has stopped working, and I am here in the basement of the Cathedral of Stormwind with my long ears and green eyes and no armor at all.

I am afraid I am going to die.

And I must make a confession to you if I am going to die.

Astrolabe,

I feel as if I am always holding onto Tiddia just barely and then losing her again.

At the Pig, which Tiddia used to like, we met a strange and friendly draenei paladin-not-a-paladin, which pleased you a lot. You made something like hot chocolate for us and it was very tasty. But then there were scary drunk people and we left to go to the Slaughtered Lamb, which has a very morbid name.

That was the place that things began to get bad again. After you went home.

Today we met Sir Champion OF EVIL!

He is a Scarlet Crusader. He is mean, breathes smoke, smells bad, and sells drugs. (bad drugs.) And he is a paladin. Therefore he needs to die in a Consecrate to learn of love and peace!

Be wary Stormwind!!! Sir Champion is in you!

Astrolabe,

I am starting to feel excited, even though I told myself not to feel this way because it is dangerous. If something goes wrong, Tiddia can maybe say that she is not of the Forsaken and is really a returning Ebon Blade of the Alliance. But I am a blood elf and a Blood Knight and if I get caught again, it may be bad.

And yet I am excited. For at least a few hours I can walk into the Cathedral at ease. I can breathe in the old theology books and sigh as loudly as I want. And I will get to learn about things with you. I hope.

Tiddia is also acting happy and so I am happy.


I guess it was this friend whom she needed all along. No matter what I did for her, I was not able to give her the love and hope she needed to be happy again. I suppose I feel a little jealous and a little sorry for myself. But I also feel so much happiness for her, lighter and better at the same time that I feel so heavy.

Perhaps she will no longer need me after this, and I will slowly disappear from her happy story.

Hello Seol.

I went to Cathedral of Stormwind even though ugly breath of paladins is bad for sanity of I. But there I met a very kind night elf woman is 133 years.

She is sad, she worries very much, she works and always has hard not easy times. She fears things of the war but she protects people-things are weak and loved of her. I think she is strong and brave, of high position, but she does not think.

You know? Elves are stupid. She is Seol of Darnassus! And she goes and puts knives in Seols of Orgrimmar and Quel'Thalas! Elves hate elves of like brave-ness and (self-sacrifice). Yes yes to not war is hard but this is stupid. How can they so much stupid

Maybe night elf of 133 years is like Seol, but night elf of 11235813 years is not like Seol. But.

I thought I will feed every one chocolate to fix this but

I miss you, Astrolabe.

The Knights sent me to assist another Master in the Grizzly Hills of Northrend. Her heart is more soft than mine, which is very strange. She is sad and angry at the war of the Alliance and the Horde. She asked why they do not join one another against the Scourge. I did not answer, but there are many reasons. I think you will know some of them soon.

I also think it would be better to stop fighting. But it is not very easy. People want to continue to live the way that they live. But sometimes the way one person lives stops another person from living the way she wants to live. It is hard to make peace, even when people want peace.

I try not to put more anger into the war, but I cannot stop it all alone.
