Dear Cal,
Urgent news. An army of at least a hundred Trolls, (not just Elrackon) is going to attack Ainon Caseia at midnight in twelve days. No time or room to explain the whole story. Source was good. It is vitally important that you take action. Also important: I discovered a spy at uncleâs inn, so any information passed through there in the last few weeks is not to be trusted. Sorry this is so short. When we meet in a few days, Iâll explain in greater detail.
Love,
Joran
He folded the letter and sealed it with a drop of wax and a strange symbol from a stamp on the desk. After attaching the letter to the leg of a pigeon and sending the bird through a window, he set to work making another copy. It was never bad to be prepared for the worst. Sending two letters would ensure that at least one got where it was supposed to. Turning from the desk with a sigh, he was startled to see Amischel and Hal, the bearded man, in the doorway.
âWhatâs the rush?â Hal asked, crossing his arms over his chest and raising an eyebrow quizzically.
âSomething came up. I just got some rather unsettling newsâ¦â He outlined the basic information to them, and then explained that he had just sent a warning. Amischel listened quietly, not understanding fully what was going on, but grasping the fact that a lot of people were in danger somewhere.
âYou never mentioned how you got this information,â Hal said, glancing around the walls, and not seeing any new birds.
âItâs kind of a secret,â Joran replied, blushing slightly, âYou probably wouldnât believe meâ¦but you should know that my source is completely reliable.â
Hal nodded, turning away. In his position, you didnât ask a lot of questions. Amischel was still looking at Joran. âJenie said to tell you that supper wonât be ready anytime soon unless you help her to pick and wash the vegetables.â
He groaned and walked out the door with her and the bearded man. âHal, your wife is altogether too clever. She knows all too well how to trick me into helping out with the chores.â
Hal just gave him a lopsided grin. âThatâs my Jenie. She never passes up a chance to whip you into someone respectable.â
Joran groaned. âThereâs nothing wrong with me the way I am now!â
âActually,â Hal turned serious now, looking him over circumspectly, âYou seem different from when we saw you last. I canât quite put my finger on it, but somethingâs changed. Youâre more mature in some ways. Whatever it was that youâve been doing for the last month while you were away, itâs changed you. Eventually I hope to hear the whole story.â
Joran looked at him in surprise, then turned away and shrugged. âI donât know what youâre talking about. Iâm the same person Iâve always been.â
They walked back into the building and greeted a slim middle-aged woman with short brown hair. âIf you want that vegetable stew of mine that you always rave about, youâd better get hopping.
