Blade Maidens: What Fools These Mortals Be – 11

”

Rhodeva,

If you call my findings ramblings one more time I am going to tell Robar to leave you off the Rimehold cookie list this year. I mean it.

I know you think I’m wasting my time, but I promise that I am onto something here. I don’t want to promise too much, but I’ve turned a corner in my research. The pattern isn’t quite apparent yet, but there IS one, I can feel it. Every scrap of fae records the archives has ends just before something firm, something tangible that could anchor further research. That can’t be a coincidence, and you know it.

Excellent work with your dwarf girl, we could always use more potioncraft in the student body. All of these children are so obsessed with casting fire or conjuring gold that they forget just how important the fundamentals are. Hopefully she has a better head on her shoulders than you did at her age.

All my love,
Phineas”
