Letter to Eowung Ste'dwa - Left at House of Light

Greetings Eowung,

I have written this lettter rather than speaking with you in person as I find myself somewhat confused over recent events and hope that I can explain myself more clearly in writing.

Firstly I wish to apologise for my conduct on the expedition to clear out the Hook Horrors - you were right to want press on when I wished to turn back and my actions were reckless at times. At one point you were seriously hurt and I was afraid for you - by moving in front I made myself a target to these creatures which then allowed you to attack with much less chance of being hurt. I ask for your forgiveness for my melancholy following the completion of this mission - I was in no way upset or annoyed at any in our party least of all yourself.

Secondly I find myself very confused for the first time about who I am and what my heritage means. I grew up in Human Society after very little exposure to my Mother's Elven peopel after she died. Humans accepted myself more readily as most Elves treated me as an outcast. Since coming to Sanctuary, whilst I have still been shunned by some because of my half-breed nature, I have found that a few here have actually accepted that I am part Elven and have not shunned me because of that - I used to beleive I knew who I was but now I am not so sure.

Thirdly the words from the paladin of Kelvemore the other day set me ina further spin - I do not see how he claims that I am meant for great things or to be an example of what is Good in Sanctuary - I see myself as a simple warrior that doesn't like bullies and is trying to get along in life with the hand I have been dealt. He also indicated that you had stronger feelings for me than I had beleived and though I wish that were true I beleive that he mistook friendship for something deeper as you have always put people before any material possesions.

Eowung I find myself without charming or roguish words atthis point and simply enjoy being in your company - I request that you allow me to escort you to the upcoming ball as a friend to have a good time and to forget for a while the difficulties we face every day.

Waiting for your Reply,

Shan Frenis

Ps - I do apologise for dumping you in the fountain but that Holding enchantment was just foul play.

A small note is left in reply

Dear Shan,

My attendance to the ball is still in some doubt, as my duties in the newly reopened House of Light keep me busier than I ever expected.

If I attend the ball, I would be honored to go with you. I'll let you know properly in person as soon as I can.

Warmest regards, Eowung.

PS - no hard feelings about the fountain, I deserved it.

[Shan collects the note and with a purposeful stride heads towards Lower, changes his mind and heads towards Blazon's, changes his mind and heads back into the Rock where he sits at the bar drinking ale looking somewhat confused]
