Dear Deimos —

Deimos —

I hope this letter reaches you. I should start off by saying that the Grounders are fine. I am fine, though I know it won’t stop you from worrying.

The Palace has fallen. We were attacked by cultists and the Eirachi. But the Grounders are safe, they are staying between the Kraai and the Arcane Academy.

Weaver has become Warden. They’ve imprisoned Neron as far as I know.

I hope you and Amalia are well. I miss and love you both very much.

Kiada,

This letter cannot convey all of my sentiments, but I am glad you are fine, and you are correct, it will not stop be from worrying. I am sorry I ever suggested you go there. Were there any other major injuries?

I am not familiar with the Eirachi. What is it?

Tell Weaver I send my congratulations, and she has my support. I will inform the council of these changes, and let you know if anything else crops up.

Do you know of Zariah’s location?

Amalia and I are fine. We have been busy with preparations for LongNight with the rest of the Grounders.

Please stay safe. We miss you and love you.

Deimos –

Please don’t brood more than I already know you are. I am fine, a few surface wounds that are already healing. No broken legs like Fiat Lux. Please don’t regret sending me here, it’s been… Wonderful, all things considered. As for injuries, there’s a few but nothing that I don’t think Loren can handle in helping fix. No casualties, the rest have the rest of the season to heal before heading home.

The Eirachi, as far as I’m aware, is the deity for Deepfrost. Anything else might be better answered by Jigano or one of the natives here.

I will let her know of your support. I’m sure she’ll be glad to hear it. We trained a few days before the attack together. I trust her and her decisions and I’ve stayed mostly out of everything else involving Halo politics.

I didn’t stay around to find out where exactly Zariah is, but I’m sure Weaver is handling the situation. Right now, we’re all just trying to rebuild.

I hope the LongNight preparations are going well and that you have better luck this LongNight than last year. I’ll stay as safe as I can be. I love you both too.

Is there anything else you wish to know while I can still get these letters to you?
