Lavinia Vanderboren
Vanderboren Estate, Sasserine
My Dearest Lavinia
I wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincerest gratitude to you for the many things you have done for me since the beginning of this voyage. The voyage has been difficult for me. The revelations about my heritage and the changes it brought, the constant squabbling on board the ship continually requiring a mediator, the dangers we have faced as well as the burden of the safety of the crew and passengers have taken much out of me.
I have been able to take great comfort in your company and find myself longing for your presence even now. I am continually amazed at your ability to refresh my weary spirit with a simple smile or your laugh. I truly look forward to spending much more time together once this journey is at an end.
I pray that you take comfort in the fact that the gifts you recently have entrusted to me will be used in enforcing the Justice of the Traveling God. The sword is the finest I have ever seen, and I am proud to carry the Vanderboren crest into the fray on my shield. It has already successfully protected me in battle! The sword will help me swiftly eliminate the evil before me on my quest to return to you. Saying I am grateful does not adequately express my gratitude.
Our ship is currently trapped in this Sargasso plague and I cannot say when I will see you gain. Faith tells me that we will quickly solve this distraction and resume our journey toward our destination and to you. For me, that day can not come too soon! A greater hand, however, sets our path, and places us where we are needed. Wherever I am, I look for ways to help and apply myself to my duty to you and the Traveling God until we are together again. That greater hand also placed us together at a time each of us needed, so I truly believe that is where I should be and I will be with you again in time.
That time feels as an eternity yet could seem as only a second once it has passed and I am with you once more. Until eternity passes and seems lost in a second of time, I await your presence….
Till I see you again
Your most humble and obedient servant
