Dear Friend,

Thank you kindly for the note, it was much appreciated and brought warmth to my heart that you thought of me. I was overjoyed at your invitation and hope that we shall soon be able to remind each other of past triumphs and adventures.

These days of my return have been trying, though I am often reminded that the Light will guide us along the paths we have chosen. I have found no infraction by your concern, simply more admiration that you saw fit to shed yet another ray of light upon a soul. Those actions are rare, easily disregarded as a card played to gain yet another foothold in the game.

I have always felt that you are honest in your convictions. I also strive to master such courtesies and extend such talents to others.

Belore keep you, may your Light shine radiant upon Azeroth and all it's citizens.

With gratitude,

Bright Lady-

We wish to murmur in the kind woman's ear. Will you meet with us? We will come alone, as much as we are able. Tell us where to be and we will go. What time? What place?

Glaring up at Alyadria. His arms crossed at his chest, his mood cold and dark. 

Hmm, she speaks good, for some high up noble elf.

They wouldn't help me after they know what i'v done.  

She speaks of kindness and happiness like its a walk in the fucking park. Please, its harder for us in the Row. Most of us have fallen so deep that we don't even care about happiness anymore.

Yet here I stand, watcher her speak as if I will help me.

It won't.

I am what I am. That day after I lost everything was they day I learned that happiness will never greet me again.

I'm stuck in this world of pain and darkness, but now? I can't feel the pain anymore, just the darkness. But now? I like it..... It suits me better.

Morning dawned and as the first rays of the rising day star crept across the stonework floor of her bedroom, through the wide open bay doors to her balcony, the voice of a single string instrument began to sing with the slow glide of a bow. The harmony was backed by the heavenly plucks of a harp and together they ascended the Sunvein Tower from the outside to drift along the morning light to fill her chamber with their music.

Riesse's hands trembled a bit as she came to the end of Nikkitah's letter. As always, he twisted her words, misreading the intent behind them. Sighing, her fingers grazed the letter one last time before the wisps of fire took it. She knew in that moment, as ash fluttered in the air, the last of her feelings for him went with it.

Heavy steps led her from the Registry only lightening again as she neared the gates of the manor property. Her thoughts reflected back on the night, bringing a smile of pure joy to her lips, replacing the sadness that turned the corners of her mouth downward. Meeting those that had come in to the office, listening to their stories of family and watching their eyes light up was the perfect way to end the day. Despite the happenings with Rook and Vol, with the room and box, despite the letter, things hadn't all been bad. Tia and Aere were to be married and Voltos had found his family. There were many forms of magic and as always, Riesse knew that love was the greatest of all.

Bright Lady-

I need someone to undo a declaration of death. You know, since I'm not actually a corpse. It was probably done about a year and a half, two years ago. Any clue where to start on that? How one goes about nullifying a death certificate and, well, reclaiming things?

Bright Lady-

The Registry has not responded. I can guess why. Your assistance would be appreciated, if the offer still stands. I'll be circumventing that channel to get things done on schedule. I was a Pathstalker of the Farstriders for years. There's probably a Magister or Knight-Master out there somewhere willing to help me navigate the necessary paperwork without involving unfriendlies.
