((I can't find my old parchment, so I'm just pasting this one))
S’har,
Teacher, master, friend. I no longer know how to refer to you. I know you’ve been in town recently, and rumor has it you might even have found a new mate. I don’t live too far out that I don’t still hear news from the town. I miss it sometimes, but there is no reason for me to be there. My studies of magic has taken me far beyond what I thought it would, and I find myself hungry for more. The tomes I’ve managed to buy or steal haven’t been enough to quench my desire for knowledge. I have not found a stop to my magical ability, and sometimes I fear I may hurt Arbrelie with my magic, she manages to keep me in check, but I fear I may be driven mad by hunger for more. The few spells on my pets…. Have caused strange side effects. I will not go into detail, but Arbrelie was not pleased when I told her. I don’t think it will matter for much longer. There is only one place left I can go for more knowledge, and that place will surely be my end. Apocrypha. A place only whispered umong the most insane of people. Yet, I find myself drawing closer to it. Have I become under the influence of a prince? I can’t understand why if so. I’m not special. I’m a hermit, I sit at home and do nothing but read and study magic. Yet, everytime I see the name, or mention of one of those books…. It’s like a call from a majestic bird. Alluring. What if I got my hands on one of those books? All of that knowledge… Such knowledge that has been stolen from this plane. S’har, I fear I am going crazy. I wish I had more purpose than these dusty tomes, but I can’t bring myself to return to town. I doubt they want me back. Even now, as they are constantly under attack, I know I can’t return to help them. I just hope your help is enough. I know it’s enough. You’re the only warrior I know that could turn such a battle.
With fear,
Varilora
