The letter can be found on the symbol of Spirituality on the landing leading into the Cappadocian Manor house.
The Signet of House Skyfire sealing the letter in red wax.

*Parts of the original messege appear to have been crossed out with a new messege written underneath it in Arianas handwriting.*


This Letter is being written at the personal request of the Lady Ariana Lenoir, and with her own words.

I, Ariana Lenoir, seek claim on the life debt owed to me by Lord Ronin of the Cappadocians. I saved your life at great danger to myself and thusly call upon your honor to return this by seeing the following actions taken.

You must order the termination of any and all magical spells, compulsions, or charms placed upon me by the one known as Kelly Darkhaven. I also wish to seek that she be held accountable for the conditions placed upon me against my will, as your personal advisor and thereby endangering not only the safety of one under your service but your safety as well.

I shall have an eye on the road awaiting your response. See that it is delievered hastily.

Cyrus Skyfire
Prince of Sanctus

Laughter can be heard from the Cappadocian Manner as a rider dressed in red and black sets off for Sanctus bearing the following message for Cyrus Skyfire, Prince of Sanctus.

Lord Cyrus,

I find Arianas comments about a "Life Debt" perplexing if not hilarious. Ariana's life as with any mortals is mine to do as I choose too with; Ariana must have been with fever to think I would owe her or anyone a debt.

Although I doubt Ariana would have anything to offer in exchange for my having her released form any possible charms that might or might not be upon her. I am willing to except her surrender to me for what is obvious treason against my clan seeing her crest on any letter making such claims against me.

Furthermore, the bulk of my army has been away for many days and is now returning, please spare yourself and Sanctus any further hardship and place her in my custody as soon as possible, for my troops have a long and deserved rest awaiting them and I would hate to have to put that on hold to have them perform something as petty as having them retrieve her for me.

Lord Ronin

Lord Ronin,

I must admit this was certainly the very response I had expected all along. I appreciate you making this easier for me. Though I'am one of those "mortals" you refer to, I assure you that never will I come under your "will". I would also never consider turning Ariana over to you. The very thought of giving into any demand from one of your kind, is laughable. Truly, both your arrogance and skewed perception of reality is the humorous part in all of this.

Here are the facts, plain and simple, so you can begin to comprehend them. Three times this week our forces have clashed. Yet not a single victory do you have to back your words. I cannot find fault with all of your claims however, for you are indeed correct about the long and deserved rest awaiting you.

My Cousin told you once already, your reign of terror is at an end. I would not go so far as to make up wild tales of armies you have not seen, though I believe I can promise you this. Our world will not mourn for you.

Lord Cyrus,

The events of late in Sosaria have been troublesome and draining on us all; it pleases me to no end how your letters can bring so much humor to my clan each time we receive them. Each day it is as if we return once again to the traveling minstrel to hear yet one more part of a hilarious story. With a bit more practice, I think you could give even Silent Poet a run for his gold.

And, now, the facts, plain and simple. There have been four fights between us. The first was the battle for the occupation of a section of Britain. Did you not see that one? That was where my army, the one apparently not seen, left behind a battle field littered with the corpses of Sanctonians, apparently unseen also; maybe I didn't see that one either.

Anyway, my offer still stands. Turn Ariana over to me or I shall come and take her myself; spare your lands this carnage. I would do it soon if I were you. The sand shifts quickly through the hourglass and I grow weary of this nonsense.

Lord Ronin

Lord Ronin,

I find myself quickly growing bored with idle threats. The humor of it wore off a long time ago. Though I'am not sure why I'am addressing this issue again, I will. You have a better chance waking up tomorrow as a mortal then counting on me turning Ariana over to you. If you need to see it spelled out, so you do not feel inclined to ask again, the answer to your request is no.

I shall endeavor to show you some compassion however. I would offer to you this following suggestion. Be sure to take all the time you need gathering your allies. If anything, this week has shown you need them.
