[Letter to Sister Amelie left at the Priory.]

[Whyleth]

Sister Amelie,

Thank you very much for your assistance last night.
I am writing to you however for two reasons:

I need a historical account of Grandmaster Elizabetha seizing the Ephia's Well from it's last occupation. I know you have said some of this to me, but I cannot remember the finer details. I believe this will be especially important to my work in musical history given the piece of sheet music known as 'Hymn to the Well'. It is important to me that I get an accurate background for it, if you know where I can find such.

Secondly, I have also seen your poetry firsthand and how you perform them like a ballad of history itself.
I was wondering if you would be available some time for an interview about yourself and your works, if you are a composer yourself. If also possible, I'd like an example piece to include in my history book, if you have any sheet music that also goes with your pieces, I'd like to include that also.

Look forward to hearing from you,
Student Niranye Auvreathil of Y'fahliel

Niranye,

I prefer to speak, rather than write, of the Grandmaster's works and the history of our Cinquefoil Rose. It is an especially important lesson and with the arrival of many new students I will make a point of addressing you and yours on the matter. Rest assured, your curiosity shall be sated.

As to my works of verse, many of them are allegories. They are intended to be instructive on the nature and virtues of the Wheel, especially fierce Kula, and you are most welcome to showcase those you find compelling. I would be glad to speak with you at length on this also.

And at the last, as to music, I am not a composer. While Acolyte Narwen has done yeoman's work in setting some of my verse to melody, I have never had the talent to compose it or musical ear to gauge its quality. I batter my poetry out with a hammer and mold the verses into a shape that fits my chosen meter, whether iambic, trochaic, or otherwise. If you care to set any of my works to music, you have my permission, and I shall look forward to the fruits of your labor.

Serve ever our Garden home, and cast your eyes to the Paradise that we shall win.

Yours,

Sister Amélie
