Letter to Felicia Maddocks

Mother dearest,

'''I cannot even begin to express how truly sorry I am for not writing you sooner, I feel as if the world has been turned upside down. We’ve been exploring and traveling left and right, facing beasts of all caliber, and at one point lost track of time for about a month.'''

It is an endlessly long story, and I will explain it to you when I see you again.

'''What’s important is I’m alive, safe and sound, as is Lupus. I miss home and everyone back there, I don’t think I’ve ever been gone for this long, and I’m afraid that even if I do return home it won’t be forever. I have so much to do, so many places to see and lands to discover. Traveling with this group, though life changing, just feels right. It feels as if this has been my calling all along. Not only did I make friends that have been a desperately needed family to me, I have met someone. '''

'''Er, more than met. We’re, sort of dating, I suppose. He’s one of the Gith, and is absolutely wonderful. Perhaps I can bring him back to meet you and the family one day soon? I know most of my companions would absolutely love to visit again, they’ve really enjoyed your cooking, as they should have. '''

'''I certainly miss it, I swear I’ve lost weight, what with this, “three meals a day and one snack,” business. How about this, I promise you I will try my very hardest to return to you for Yule, if not sooner. I dearly miss everyone at home. For now, I will continue to make good on my promise, i’ve included 50 gold in this letter, and will be bringing more back when I visit. Sorry I did not include more, I didn’t want to weigh down the bird too much. I’ll see you soon. '''

With the utmost love, 

Your Willy.
