[A letter to Domhnall Judicael Guivarch]

[Bearic]

(A small sweet smelling letter is delivered to where-ever Domhnall might be getting his mail forwarded to, or otherwise. The handwriting is crude and childish and there are cartoonish drawings of laurels and roses along the border)

Hello Mister Guivarch,

We wanted to write you to say thank you for saving us from the really bad place from before. Sister Xian helped us make this for you. We're studying really hard to help the Well like you helped us. One day maybe one of us will be Legate too and we can help other people.

- Signed

Emily!

Coraline ~

Marriam.

(A small paper badge with the word hero is enclosed)

[Erudiche]

[Tired eyes read the letter in the shade of a ruined home, by a burbling pot of pungent worm entrails. The badge is held between dusty fingers. Slowly, the former Legate pins it to his lapel.]
