Shirel's Letter

Dear Mother,
I hope this letter finds you well. I know, you told me to never write as the risk of somehow being detected is too high, but I simply couldn´t stop myself. I miss you and Papa way too much and recent events had me think about what happened once more. I fear that my deeds have put a lot of punishment on both of you, even though you told me to not think about it and flee. I wake up every day uneasy wishing that things were different.
Do not worry though, I am fine. I have found some new friends and as I promised when I left, set out to build a new life and try to better the world around me. I've been trying to spread the teachings of Lashtai but most people are just so incredibly uptight. Oh, Mama they all could use your guidance to see the beauty that is life.
I added some coin, I made during the last years, to this letter. Please make sure these go safely to Halashkir and Kyriel, who risked his life for me. There is no day passing that I wake without thinking about all of it. Is it selfish that I fled to preserve my life? I know you and Papa and even Kyriel said that I should not worry, that I should disappear as my death would just be a certainty if the Val Defrays would be able to catch me. I do not know what Halashkir is thinking of me, I feel like I abandoned her, and it pains me every day. I'm sorry that I have broken my promise to not write, I just had to. I know you will understand.
May the loving Mistress guide us.
