Arslan's Letters

Dear Vae,
Firstly, I’m sorry to leave you and the group. I understand I am leaving a power gap, let it be known that I have been kidnapped but where I am now is precisely where I need to be.
Second, I miss you all dearly and I hope that you escaped from the nightmares.

Dear Vae,
Hello. I am hoping she has been delivering my letters to you. I’m not sure how she finds you but I am sure they do.
How are you? Is Shen Po still having nightmares? Has Feng Da been watching his drinking? I am beginning to feel the effects of this place.
This quiet place, oh so quiet.

Dear Vae,
I am staying ever invigored. I hope I can make this last. It's hard to stay happy
here but I'm trying.
I'm detailing this report...my captor. This details my observations. Now, she is obviously seeing the letters I send but I feel she appreciates me reporting. I think she believes that I'm giving you false hope and she seems to enjoy that.

Who is...


...she remembered my birthday.

When asked what she had in store for me she stated "som...
power is something I cannot fully comprehend at this point. Escape on my own would be pure suicide. However, I don't look forward to understanding her...
...". I will continue to research more.

Your friendly neighborhood goliath,
Arslan
P.S. Find my father. He must be alive.

Dear Vae,
...tried to keep count of the days but I can't be sure anymore. I'm getting lonely. I'm not sure what to do anymore. But I will remain as happy as ever. I hope.

There are more of her creatures here. They are gathering en masse. Something is surely going on. Something I don't think any of us are prepared for. She's
...

Why is she doing that!? Is she trying to isolate me from you?...
letter. It makes no sense!

She says I have a purpose. The sword! The sword. It was...
was always me. But why?! The Wisest Chuluun...

The curse was...me back to this place. But what is the significance? My father is out here. Find him, find the answers.

The sword brought me here, maybe it can help me leave? Why am I...
...the key in all this?

I don't understand,
Arslan
P.S. Meet me at the place where the sands of time meet the fires of regret.

Dear Vae,
I have information I must share with you. Listen to me closely.
1. The place where I reside is somehow within the Nightmare Realm and the waking. By examining my surroundings, I realize I am somehow locked in, unable to move past the lands.
2. There is someone else here. Her form is shadowy. She has been ensnared and still asleep. If you can find her associates, they have a way for you to contact her and ultimately me.
3. Her name is Myuon and she is an elf. It sounds familiar. I do not remember.
4. The monsters pay me no mind. t...
something is going on.
5. I do not sleep. I simply am there and not. I don't see her come take my letters but she does. I do not feel different.

Arslan
P.S. Vae, I believe in you.

6. Dear Vae,
It's been a while since my last letter. I was hoping that I would be able to find something else about this place I am. Something you called the 'Nightmare Realm', indeed I confirm this is must be where I am. Myuon herself has been teaching me about making it manageable. Despite the amount of well dead things here I have to remind myself each day that I am not one of them.
Emily does not talk to me as much, she seems to be far too busy lately. Part of me is hoping it's because you're thwarting her plans across the land of East. But either way, things are gearing up here for the worst.
Vae, Shen Po, Feng Da, Mildred, Lu Ban, and the gentlemen that is not Ya Wei or Zion. Spark is in the nightmare realm, I saw her! She is just beyond my reach and I have not been able to talk to her. But there are others, many others. The Man with the Black Hand, the General who led the doomed expedition to East, your friend Wander, many more are joining her ranks. I fear they have been kidnapped as I was or worse.
Be careful, stay safe, all of you.
Love, Arslan
P.S. Show this to Shen Po Ren, the last time we spoke you mentioned that my captor make have taken his family. I am investigating this and attempting to contact others. I will make this right.
