Dearest Cove,
I know it has been a while since I left you at the School of the Blade for your studies and made my way back to the Citadel to help fight against The Elemental War. You had so much potential back then, I could only imagine how incredible you are now. I miss you greatly.
I don’t know how long I have, or how this letter will reach you, but I pray it finds its way into your hands. I’m in trouble, Cove, more than I could have imagined. I managed to convince a guard to allow me to send this letter to you. I don't think I'll have another chance for communication unfortunately.
I sought out Amelia, the wizard in Tanerdhel, hoping she could help me with my... situation. The deal I made to return to the Material Plane—it was with a sorcerer, a man of terrible power. He promised to help me return so I could find you, and in my desperation, I didn’t see the darkness in him. Once I was back, I was supposed to repay him, but the cost was far greater than I could ever manage. When I failed to meet his demands, he revealed his true nature.
He’s been hunting me ever since.
I don’t know where I am now, only that I’ve been taken, along with others. We’re in some kind of prison, but it’s unlike any place I’ve ever known. I’ve tried every spell I know, but I can’t use my magic here—it’s as if something’s blocking me. The sorcerer... he must be behind this.
I’m sorry, Cove. I thought I could make things right on my own, but I was wrong. I should never have made that deal. I only wanted to find you. Now I need your help.
Be careful, my love. He’s dangerous, and he won’t stop until he gets what he wants. I don’t know what that is anymore, but I fear it’s something far worse than I first believed. I’ll hold on as long as I can, but please, if there’s any way, find the sorcerer. If you can get any type of information out of him, he may be my only hope.
I love you, always. Stay safe, and be strong.
Your Aunt, Sue
