Nimue's letter

Dear Sybil Ulan,   I write to you now because I have no other choice. I made a mistake, several mistakes, and now I need your help.
  On Citrine 11th Nimue Hook, devoid of all other options in the moment, wrote a letter to The Room asking for help.   It was almost impossible to get my hands on this, but after scrounging through what remains of their original base, I found what I believe is the original letter.  
I know you said never to contact you unless it was necessary and I promise you this is.   Let me start from the beginning. The voice returned- yes I know I should have told you earlier but It really wasn't a problem- It returned and it started telling me about my future. It never told me its name, in case you were wondering. It said that would come later.   It was fine, I was doing fine. No accidents in the past 6 months, and before that I had made it 4. I really was doing fine, It was helping me control it this time. But then Mother did what she did. She said it was important that he stayed there in the Ice Valley, she said it was for both of our goods but I think it was more for her own ego, to show she could just... take someone and no one would be able to stop her. I guess it doesn't matter either way, not now.   Anyway, I tried not to get attached, I really did, but I couldn't. After a while, it felt like he was all I had. I'm sorry, but I think I fell in love with him. I think I love my best friend.   And then I ruined it.   You warned me. You did. This is all on me, It's all my fault. I won't go into the details now, I've already made this too long. The point is you were wrong, and I wish you weren't.   I need your help, I'm... I'm pregnant Sybil. You know as well as I do I can't take care of the baby, I just can't. I need you to take them and take care of them in your school. Please, I have nowhere else to go.   I feel so small like I can't do anything like the voice is lying to me. Sometimes I wish it was. It says I'm supposed to rule everything, and yet I fail at the one thing you tell me not to do. I wish I could just end it now, at least then I'd be dead and it wouldn't bother me. We both know that wouldn't work.   I wish this was a request, but by all the power I possess with my mother missing, I command you to do this.   I'll be arriving on the 16th if all goes as planned, so if you have any objections you can tell me then. Don't even bother replying to this letter, I'll be there by the time you write and send it.   I wish it didn't have to be like this, but I have no other choice.   I really am sorry,
Nimue
 

Historical context

From what I can gather, this letter was written sometime after the disappearance of the Ice Queen and defeat of The Frozen Empire. I suspect the boy mentioned is Sabor Lerone, a childhood friend of The Hooks that went missing partway into their reign only to turn up again fighting for The Resistance then again long after in some records of the Lumia.   This was the first and last document that could suggest Sybil Ulan and The Room weren't actually distroyed in 120.  

The child

Try as I might, there are no other records of the child she birthed, whether it was a girl or boy or if it even lived. I have some theories about where the child, or children, are and who they could be, but nothing is confirmed as of yet.
