Zappa,
I write this to you so you know I am well. I have arrived at the Hospice. I am sure word has reached you that there was trouble, but worry not. I ask you not to visit as I know this letter will only invoke the hunter that dwells within you and that would only give these citizens what they desire most.
I took my position near the porch of the new HOA Hospice. It had been days since I received and accepted Dylans request for healers, but I had no idea that I would end up in the middle of the Undead City A Sage of the Awakening in the City of the Damned... and by choice? By Cernunnos Horns I must be insane!
The valiant Cainian Militia stood not more than four paces from me.. in battle formation and chomping at the bit to tear into the assembled group. The smell of the place was putrid, though my nose is becoming more and more acclimated to the essence of death.
Aleph refused to shut down the Hospice, my love. He told the Mayor of Caina to his face that we would not leave.
What you are about to read is going to stoke the fires of vengeance, but I beg you to resist them. As the Mayor turned from our group and walked towards the great Golgotha, he chanted the reverent Etheng! and before I knew I could not move.
We were caged like Yew cattle as the glowing blue fences sprung up and surrounded us.
I laid my hands at my side, closed my eyes and chanted the words of our virtue a thousand times in my head before it was over. They launched fields of poison and flame upon us, and I stood firm and awaited my death in peace.
The pain was intense and I do not remember anything but the searing pain in my scorched and sickened legs then it hit me as my final breath left my lips.. We ARE needed here.
I awoke from my death slumber and managed to find my way inside of the tower of bones. Aleph was there.. alive.
Guards were posted at the door, but I had no intention of attempting anything. It was when I heard Alephs death cry from behind the solid steel door, my resolve was solidified.
They tell me his soul is trapped there in the throne of the lich lord he is now a cushion for Azalin himself!!
Its been two days now. I have seen few of my colleagues.... more warriors from the light than healers, that is for certain.
Perhaps they are plotting an escape for Aleph, I know not. But I shall do what I agreed to. I will stay in Caina and I shall heal the sick and injured. This entire day, I have encountered a few of the citizens and even resurrected one of them, but they do not seem to have the same lust for death they did our first night here.
In fact, Ive yet to be harmed, though my tear stained face knows it is likely temporary.
Zappa, I implore you to seek out the other Sages, Heralds and Oracles. Aleph must be saved. A battle is NOT the answer.
There is no maiden to rescue from the tower this time.. he IS of Golgotha now. I doubt a chair could serve court so do not bother busting down the walls of the place.
Seek the wisest of in the land, not the best warriors of the light.. this will be a battle of spirit not of sword, my love.
I shall look for your carrier pigeon. By the by, know that my love for you is strong. I still wear your ring of promise about my neck, and you are constantly in my thoughts.
I love you,
Cal
