/ I'll write a post later with more details and plans./
At the beginning of the month, Xenomia sends a letter to her mother, where (omitting the more frightening details) she describes the events that have transpired and also says that she wants to show Alik the city, spending some time with him during the vacation week.
In response, Talia writes that she is happy for Xenomia's success, although she is worried about the latest news in Reims ("To think that the temple of these Enkleissians, our brethren, has burned down... Although this is yet another proof that one cannot be so weak in one's will and allow unclean forces to commit atrocities. Our Cult of Flame is right, daughter!"). To Mia's great happiness, Talia wrote that she is going to come to the capital for a day or two, since her daughter asks her to, and Alons will be at her complete disposal.
