We Got Him from Lyssa
My love,
The medicine you sent for Caravel worked wonders. He's resting easily on a comfortable bed in the keep in Solace. I'm sending Onyx to you, you'll want his speed. There's a Fae Imperial Advisor here - he asked to be called 'Uncle Red' and said he'd already spoken with you at length. You should come back as soon as you can. Drakken is... dealt with. Uncle Red says that, and I'm quoting directly "now that The Beast has ravaged him, nothing in this world can make sense of his song."
Amytri has Drakken chained in a cell. I've seen him and it's disturbing. One moment he seems semi-lucid as he asks if his father will be coming to take him to a harvest festival this year, the next, he's sobbing that he can't eat turnips if they've already grown teeth. Uncle Red says he didn't do this to him - that the injuries he inflicted only crippled his limbs and his magic. It's best if you see for yourself.
Alrudian and Crag are headed to find Nina - Crag can't carry much but as long as she isn't wearing that armor of hers, Nina herself is light enough that Crag can manage the extra, even if barely, and they'll still be faster than the best speed Dal can manage. There's more, so much more, but the important thing is that we seem to be approaching the end of this. I'm working with Uncle Red on the mop up with what information he got from Drakken before he went mad. I hate that the 'right thing' isn't to fly to your side but I know the wait won't be long now.
Yours eternally,
Lyssa
