[A letter for Acolyte Kellyn]

[cmenden]

Now speaks Zol Nur Apothar, whose name is Starlight, unto Acolyte Kellyn. With eyes of wisdom and heart of valor, you are seen. Paths of stars align in your favor, for the journey you undertake is one of great promise. It is observed, your diligence and spirit shine bright as the Moon itself. Such qualities befit a Nadiri, guiding and protecting with grace and foresight. May your steps be firm and your light unwavering, as the celestial bodies above watch over your ascent. You are honored, and the Seat of Magic acknowledges your destined rise.

Dictated but not read,

Dear Kellyn,

What seems to be the matter?

I haven't heard your droll sendings requesting the presence of my Fourth Apprentice in some time.

Have you failed Discernment as I anticipated?

What happened to the oh so very confident and cocksure Acolyte who believed the path she charted was going to work out? The one who saw fit to irritate me and thought there would be no consequences.

Perhaps when you return you will discern that a different path forward is best.

Regards,
Estellise Azimi
