The dark elf looked over to his long standing counterpart, utter disbelief on his face. His mouth opening and closing like a dying fish in the beach. Than he became to roar with laughter. He laughed so hard his concentration broke and his doppelganger faded in fits of laughter.

"Oh thank the Fates!! I think this woman really does have a sense of humor!! It only took forever indeed!!" Thortan grabbed his side for it started hurting from the laughter, after a moment he composed himself, snickering all the while. "I believe there is hope for you yet my dear."

As they neared this a young nondiscript man  stood on the back porch. Thortans next remark dying in his throat as he saw him. In the dark elves hand was a rolled parchment with the Queen's seal upon it.

"Master Masters, you should ward against the Will-O-Wisps, they almost lead me to my death three times!!" The man said in a huff.

"Calm down soldier, they will protect the house, but give a moment before you leave I will write a letter for the next you show up." He took the letter from the disgruntled man. He cracked the wax seal easily and unfurled the parchment. He recognized the Queen's swirling loopy script right away.

[i][color=92278f]Thortan, dear, I pray this letter reaches you safely, it is enchanted that if any but you open my seal, the parchment will burn in a quick flash. I am safe here in the hidden library, I have yet to find the answer we seek in dealing with the humans. I fear we will have to take more extreme measures than when we dealt with Lumina's. And I know the terrible cost placed on Erebus's that was. Please stay safe, train all who come to you, we may need their talents. I have had reports of troops and bounty hunters scouring every inch for you Liz and myself. Now please hand the letter to Liz.[/color][/i] Thortan reread it twice to make sure he read all of it before handing it to the Lycian.

"She's trying to be discreet while giving us information, she's worried about something and I don't think she is going to tell us anytime soon what it is."

[i][color=ec008c]Liz, my trusted blade, and exceptional student, I am happy to know you made it to Thortan safely. I know you two don't see eye to eye on almost anything. And I apologize, as always for his jokes. I had him summon you, so you can keep and eye on him. You know as well as any other that trouble just sits in that man's lap where ever he goes. I know you are not much for emotion but I would lose my will if anything were to happen to him. This world needs him to keep it safe. I am getting close to answering all the questions on how to deal with the humans. Be patient with him, and stay safe my dear friend.
I need my best friend as well.

In my own hand,
Queen Selexnia. [/color][/i]
