To Khalid

[Phoebe]

Hello, Khalid.

I'll be away for some time, possibly a manner of months- it is no harm, I am in no danger, but an illness of the soul has taken me. Pilgrimage through the sands is what refreshes the soul, guiding the ill and dying into good grace, and I shall do this to the best of my abilities. I write to you so you do not fear my disappearance, for I believe in you and hold you in the highest respect.

Hope to see you soon
Lucrecia Allaire
