but the thing is, even if i could go back, i wouldn't belong there anymore
Deimos,
It's been quite a long time since we last spoke. I trust the winds of Halo have been kind to you.
My absence, I know, requires explanation. It wasn't a grand adventure or a daring quest that kept me away. The truth is simpler, and perhaps more painful: I was lost in grief, seeking solace in the Oerwoud's embrace. But the wilderness has been my crucible, forging me anew. I am not the same Aurelia who left, and I dare to hope that I am better for it - stronger, wiser, more capable.
The war raged while I was gone. My heart aches with the knowledge that I wasn't there to fight. In truth, I'm not sure how much good I would have been then. Impulsiveness and selfishness still wrestled within me, clouding my judgment. I can only hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive my absence, to set aside any resentment you may harbor.
For I am here now, Deimos, ready to stand against the Void. The Void's touch has scarred the land, and I will not remain idle while it threatens to consume all that we hold dear.
But I need your help. Safrin has bestowed upon me a weapon, a blade. Yet, I lack the skill to wield it effectively. You once guided me in harnessing my fire, and I humbly request your aid once more. Teach me, please, how to wield this sword.
With unwavering resolve,
Aurelia
