Alexis,
Mother has told me about Father. I can only think that you were under strict instruction from her not to say anything to me. As must Roman have been. He won't talk about it.
Mother is upset. I won't hold her to task for the things she has said. It was enough for me that Faelin spoke on my behalf. She never ceases to surprise me. I see a little more of her with each thing she does and I don't think she realizes that.
Soon we will begin the search for Sevastian and we will find Father. I will carve Sevastian's heart out myself to make him tell us where Father is, if I must. Either way, it is time Kazimir's brother was laid to rest and his supporters sent scattering on the winds.
I cannot swear that we will all return to you or that we will even find Father alive, Alexis. I can swear that I will do whatever is needed or asked of me to help end this.
Be well and remain watchful and safe. Keep grandfather close and the other warriors of the village. Your protection is important.
Zane
