Dear Euphemious,
I hope this letter finds you well. Greetings! It’s me Aeos! I’m sending this from Aurion.. the tiny human settlement on this weird new island some merchants found a while back. This place is really.. well dang it it’s really pretty cool. It’s really warm too. Also it’s full of greenery and life. Kinda reminds me of Bern.. only less mist.. and more tropics? Anyway, i’m writing to let you know how I’ve been and stuff. I have been great! This island is very wild. And the terrain is mixed. Like.. there Saree beaches and then woods… Some reports say jungles… But I know there are mountains! I can see those. This place is very wild. And the natives here are wilder. I can’t say too much about them on paper. But.. Euph.. they.. are special. I met one.. who had similar.. uh.. talents.. like my own. But.. not exactly. It’s weird. But.. they seem.. not hostile. I mean there were some scuffles with the natives and a few of the wild animals here.. that needed intervention from the natives.. because.. seriously. This island.. is very wild. If not for the wildmonsters ANIMALS attacking us.. we probably wouldn’t have ever made.. uh a decent.. first contact with these guys.
But Euph.. things .. don’t look so good. At least.. I think they don’t look so good. People here are obsessed with their greed.. they’ve gone ahead and started cutting into the woodlands.. and claiming territories for themselves.. territories of the native people. People have even started to capture this.. new breed of animal called a gryphon. It’s like a lion.. bird hybrid. Apparently, these things can’t breed in captivity.. so getting one means that people have to go out and catch it. Break it’s will. Train it to ride. Then sell it back to theElbile Elibe... damn it.. back on the mainland. Pegsai and Wyverns are going to have some competition in the sky. One.. of the captures went badly.. and the animal was killed. I didn’t want to see it’s remains go to waste so I took a few of it’s bones. I..also ate some of it. Many of the people here don’t like the taste of it. I thought it was alright. Anyway, made a bone knife for you. Should be enclosed with the letter. It’s got your insignia and the words “Guardian” carved into it in my language. I hope they don’t steal it.
Now.. while this sort.. of greedy human behavior.. hasn’t raised any war flags with the natives yet.. it’s.. definitely given them some concern. The others.. can’t seem to sense them too well. But I can. Some of their scouts watch us from the woodlands. Euph.. these natives.. are strong. They are different. And.. people.. do not respond well to things that are “different”. I.. fear for them. And.. i’m afraid. This.. island.. is different. Though.. you don’t feel it.. since you are neither a spellcaster.. or have my “talents” but the air here.. the spirits here.. it feels more concentrated. I.. think.. that since this place.. was far away from the scouring.. they.. it.. did not experience what Elbile.. had experienced. Euph.. i’m.. frightened. I.. don’t want people to come here and ruin this place. I don’t.. want to see.. what could be another war. I know.. the history.. and.. I know what the scouring did to Elibe.. It was long before my time… but that does not mean I wish to see it happen in this time..or in ANY time. I’ve.. considered going out into the wilds to meet them. I want to learn from them. Maybe.. it’ll help with.. uh.. my issues? I kinda really want to climb that mountain I keep seeing.
Oh! I made a friend here. A young sailor named Gar. He seems to be pretty cool. Gave me a homemade necklace made out of a boar tusk. Told him about the pie challenge. Running out of paper so I have to cut this short here.
Sincerely Aeos.
PS- Mom made a full recovery! Thankyou! She wants to thank you with a quilt.
