To the Daughter of Copper
 
The next year we move to the ring. Putting us one step closer to the top of the tower and the Demon lord moving one step forward to destroying yet another town, yet another family. This will be the best chance we have had to convince these so-called all-powerful mages to stop cowering behind their sphere of safety and help the people on the outside. I understand this also means that we need will need to take more risks. Risks we must take but we cannot risk losing you. For you are the daughter of copper, the bane of the infernals, the savior of Anacra. We are at war and you are our general. If there comes a time where we have to do something dangerous I beg you to send me or one of the others but not yourself. If one of us falls we will live on with the hope of the Kisjan. But if you die so will the Kisjan and as long as the Kisjan lives we have a chance to prevail. I understand your decision to not send me up the tower after I shared the roommate that has been bunking in my skull. But I promise I will die before I let that thing hurt anyone I care about least of all you. Without you, the Jester would have destroyed me a long time ago. You saved me and you will save many more like me but you have to endure. We are not kids anymore. We haven't been for a while now. We lost our childhoods the moment our dreams have been replaced with memories of fire and blood. But I guess you already knew that.
 
Whatever you ask of me is yours.
