[Letter to Khalid]

[Empress of Neon]

"Dear Khalid,

I have a message I'd like to see made over the bellows. Please ensure people know it's from me, and not you, humble messenger of Warad.

I'll be sure to compensate you for the trouble when next we meet.

Some things need to be said.

~ Isabella de Veend

P.S If it's too vulgar, feel free to abscond from a word or two."

[A missive is sent in reply.]

In the name of Warad, the most vigilant, the merciful, this servant bids you greetings.

O' how he has wept, dearest Isabella, at your misfortune. Given to the roads without one wishing it, placed beyond the confines of the community, this servant to suffers, for your place within the community of the faithful is known to all and is worth beyond mention.

Daily does he whisper prayers unto the Wanderer, bidding his intercession to hasten the day of deliverance wherein ye may be reunited with the community, your honour restored, and forgiveness given for what offenses you may have given unto the community of all whom venerate the Wheel.

Noting this, his sacred duty to carry the messages of those who should inquire, he has given much thought and reflection to your request. This, he cannot refuse you, for Warad, the ever-present, had commanded us thusly which he recalls from the sermons of youth.

Ye who wander, ye chosen, suffering Waradim who hath taken course upon roads and causeway within thy heart and bear it's calluses proudly upon hoof and foot, know then that the word of one, given in sacred trust, shall be as if our own.

Recognizing this, O' Isabella of the Purple, he will comply with your request but shall put forward the wisdom of the roads, for this moment of supreme decision may cost you much in future. Such denunciations may harden the hearts of those within the Well, of those who may yet intercede in place of Warad to thy salvation. He prays, O' Isabella, that you would reconsider entrusting messages of denunciation to him, for it aids one's cause not, and grants comfort and legitimacy to those who do you harm, this he knows.

The diligent work, he is aware, to bring about your salvation is surely underway, why then, he asks, would one allow the heat of righteous passion strike deliverance into the hazard? 

In due deference to ye, old friend, he shall complete thy task as he can do no other, he shall give counsel beyond the boundaries of the Well of Ephia with you anytime you wish. Though delayed, he asks you again to consider the consequences of said draft given to him, and upon your writing him a second time confirming your wishes he shall give voice to your message.

May the sands remain ever clear from your eyes.

~ Khalid al-Hayim, Servant of Warad.
