13. One mistake can cost a life

Dear father,
Tomorrow is the big day, we will finally go back to our quest. My birthday has passed from some time now but it was a wonderful. Nerissa and Zarkuz made me a surprise, and got in time for it. They also got me a present and I think it was pretty nice. But to be honest, my favorite present was from Miyun. She gave me a very nice celebration present, with all the makeup and such.
 
It really cheered me up, especially after Talion managed, once again, to annoy me. Do you know how easy it is to break a drawer when you talk with him? You see father, there was book that was special to the queen, and he asked me if he could use magic on it or not. I said he shouldn't but the moment i left the room, he did it anyways, and he almost burned it. I do not understand him sometimes. He asks for my advice but he doesn't care about what I say. He is proud and stubborn but that is not the only reason I got upset. He really shouldn't speak badly of anyone in the party. Luckily, the book is fine for now. Damschini interfered and saved it before it burned. Only a small part of a page is missing. But i think the queen got mad at us, or worse, she lost the trust in us.
 
On the other hand, Nerissa got in trouble while walking to the town. She lost her way and some kind of bad people kidnapped her...again. I was quite worried for her. It seems that while Talion was away with business, he also go attacked by the same people, but he managed to escape and warn us. I though that was brave so I am not that mad at him for now. After all we are friends.
 
Mazog and Evhai managed to help us find her, and Nerissa returned home in one piece ,more or less. She told us they tortured her for information and that when she didn't reply, they cut one of the fingers. She made a mistake that could have costed her more than she lost. Also, because he used a lot of power, Mazog slept for a long time and he kept murmuring something about the queens baby, some spirits and a fight. It must have been some kind of dream. When he woke up he told us that in his dream the baby was fighting some kind of creature in an arena, but of course it was all not real.
 
To be honest father, I feel like sometimes all of us are very vulnerable. When it comes to choice, we doubt ourselves, and one another. Maybe it is time for us to start working on us, before trying to help others. After all, who are we to play with other people lives, when we cannot control our own. I have started training, but there is still much more than I don't not know. But I will not give up on this, on our party.
 
Also father, when we leave this place, one more friend will join us on the way. She is a bit shy, but very sweet. And she loves cookies. I hope we will not scare her. I hope we will be able to finish our quest when we will go back.
 
I love you. 'Till we meet again.
 
Your lovley daughter,
Lyaria
