A letter and a request
Jai unfolded the letter smoothing it out with her hands. She recognised the beautiful handwriting instantly though she had not seen it for upwards of sixty years. Something constricted inside her given that bad feeling she had, had since Baen had mentioned the courts of Summer and Winter. Putting the feeling aside for a moment she focused back on the letter and read.
Dearest Jaidee
It has been too long since you journeyed to visit with us in the Summer Court and I have missed you. I must beg your indulgence and confidence and ask you to visit with me here in haste. Rumour grows that an attack is coming to our kingdom and I am fearful. Mother is too quiet, she has not been the same since Aurora was lost to her. Please Jaidee I implore you to make haste and come to my side, I know your guidance can help ease the heavy burden I feel in my heart.
Blessings always
Lily
Jai was chewing her lip pretty hard by the time she finished reading and her heart beat had started to beat out a samba. She couldn’t refuse the summons, she was bound as a Bard to go, let alone the bonds of friendship. But what on earth was she meant to do.
