“I’ve never been good with thaumaturgy. I’ve always been a healer and nothing else in the eyes of many and the only destructive force I’ve used during my life have been through conjury and, in particular, arcanima.

“Dear Nitram,

Some time have passed since I left, and I want you to know that I truly am sorry for leaving without telling you. As I wrote to you in my first letter the matter was sudden and urgent.

As you know I receive letters from my family in Ishgard fairly often, especially from my mother. The last one pleaded me to return home.

She wrote about my older brother and of how he had nearly been killed in an attack by dragons. She also wrote that he wasn’t expected to live much longer and that they all wanted me to come home.

I realized that it could very well be my last chance, and so I left.

Returning to Ishgard was weird. Walking on the streets as I used to, seeing the manor I once called home, meeting the people I never thought I’d get separated from... it was surreal to say the least.

My mother cried when she saw me, I was worried it was because she was mad. As it turns out however she was just happy to see me, and so were my whole family. My grandparents, my uncle and aunt, my cousins... everyone was there to welcome me home. Even I cried in the end.

Seeing my brother in his weakened state was heartbreaking, but he have recovered quickly to everyone’s surprise. He haven’t left my side even once since I arrived here, and I’m happy to be around him again. 

It’s been difficult to explain everything that happened since I left. Me being kidnapped and brought to Ul’dah, escaping, living on the streets for years, working as a sellsword and healer... needless to say my whole family were astonished. I know my cousin Finia didn’t believe me at first, and neither would I if anyone else would have told me a story like that.

I also told everyone about you, and they seem eager to meet you sometime. I do hope I can take you here to Ishgard sometime so you can meet them all, especially my mother and brother. They tell me that they’re grateful to you for taking such good care of me, and I couldn’t agree more.

I’m running out of time for now and will have to keep this short, but will return home soon so please tell everyone that I’m alright and safe. I also want you to know that I miss you every minute I’m away from you and that I can’t wait to have you in my arms again.
