☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Ayano, my daughter.

My anger, confusion, and worry reach you with this letter, and with a heavy heart, I realize that by the time these words reach your eyes, I will still be in Margel, unable to influence your fate in any way.

Thinking about how far away you are fills me with both sadness over our unexpected separation and the circumstances surrounding it, and joy at the knowledge that you are safe and sound. Your companion's personality doesn't give me much hope, but I've decided to believe in what I read in your letter and take it to heart.

With this, I want to make it clear that fearlessness is not the quality that will help you return to me. The ability to move forward and avoid internal paralysis is useful, but it can lead mortals into life-threatening situations. I forbid you to harm yourself or die, so do what you need to do to avoid that. Otherwise, you will never receive my forgiveness.

Also, I want to let you know that everything is calm in Margel. Thanks to you, Gaheris Bors is in good health, but he is also worried about your well-being.

Tell your companion that if even a single hair falls from your head, he will find in me an enemy he never knew existed.
