"Hi Mother and Father,

All is well in Verge, it is sunny weather most of the time. Unlike Threshold. The friends and family I've made here that I told you about are well. Lumina, Sasha, Valerian and Verity.

We've all had a nice party in my apartment the other night. I shall send you some sketches of it, I have a very neat little kitchen that you'd like to make scones in. Just hoping you've found some great new things and no curses please!

Also I did some genealogy and we have fey somewhere in our line? Could you tell me if you know anything about that?

All my love, Lenara"

Dearest Lenara,

Your father and I are glad to hear from you! It's so nice to know you have a good friends group where you are.
I was so worried that you would keep to yourself and focus on acquisitions. I'm glad you're making friends. Though I'm not so keen on these flyers, and I think you should be prepared to stab him right in the-

Lenie, don't let your mother kowtow you into violence, chicken. You should stay well away from this suspicious character. It's not the answer.

Gosh, so rude. Anyhow I've told the local guards and the main towers about this Wolf character and his dog. Rest assured we'll be nice and safe as always.
You know you can always come home if you're not enjoying it there, your old room is all how you left it and-

You can stay if you want, because I know you're not a quitter.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Your loving parents,

who really respect you. xoxo

Mother I received your letter, but noticed that you have chosen to avoid the main question of any fey blood that may be in our family. Though I believe I already have my answer I wanted to see if you would answer me openly. So I will ask again before all the love I put into this message makes it longer than it needs to be. Do we have fey blood in our family? If no answer I can always ask Father if you wish, I imagine he would tell me if I did.

Tell Father I love him dearly and the monthly chocolate package should be arriving with this letter as well. If any are eaten do not tip the delivery guy. make sure Father does not eat too many of those sweets you know how he is and will eat them all if he can, just like his daughter.

I am glad to hear that you are taking care with the warnings of this Wolf character, I am sure he will become a threat, but like Father said and my friends. It is best if I stay away from him for now. I trust my friends greatly, they have helped me through so much, I wish you could visit...No wait, do not do that. You have too many embarrassing stories about me that I have not told them!

Your trouble causing daughter,
Lenie

Lenara,

Young lady.. Of all the.. Look. I'm not sure what makes you ask, maybe you've had a penchant for pie or perhaps you've managed to understand pixish or.. something.

I spoke to your father about it and he was ready to disagree, but he said for his Lenie he would tell the truth. I'm writing this down now because he doesn't want to write himself.. this family history he promised not to share.

Great Great Great Great Grandma Pippi-Gertrude Tosen was an arborist for a big fancy house. She got herself ~~knocked up~~ in the family way - would never tell anyone who her beau was. Ever since then we did notice some strange things in the line.

That's all he can say.

Be good, Lenie. Or we'll have to come down there.

- Mother and Father

ATTN: Five Shires, Archival and Records

My name is Lenara Tosen, I am requesting family records going back to my Great Great Great Great Grandma Pippi-Gertrude Tosen. I apologize for this sudden request and hope you can help me with this.

Any help would be great. If you are unable to help then let me know where I can reach out to. But I have no doubt you can, as you are the best at what you do!

And to sweeten the deal there are sweets that come with this letter! Do not eat around the records though.

Thank you greatly for any help,
Lenara Tosen

Beneath the letter a magically chilled box sits. Once opened reveals high quality chocolates and deserts within a simple piece of paper that just had the word “ENJOY” on it.

Dear Ms Tosen,

Firstly, we at the Five Shires, Archival and Records much appreciated your gift with our afternoon tea. Secondly, we happen to have found the enclosed parchment roll in our second basement archive. For your use we have copied it out and provided your own scroll. [Enclosed is a large family tree mapped out from Pippi-Gertrude to Lenara] it appears she never married, but had a set of twins. A boy and girl, named Yarrow and Violet. I hope this assists you.

Many thanks,

Archivist Klennant,
Five Shires, Archival and Records

Mother, thank you for letting me know about that, tell Father I love him very much and miss him dearly. As you answered my question I will answer yours. Why am I asking this information?

There has been a development in my life and well, I now have a set of umm, wings and a soft green glow that seems to emanate from within me. I do not wish to cause you any worry, I am fine and it is the most wonderful thing ever for me!

They feel so natural now and I adapted to them quickly, sometimes it just feels like I can fly when I run really really fast. Again, I am sorry for my rude tone in my last letter. I love you both so much.

Sorry to keep the letter so short! HAH, short.

With the greatest love,
Lenie.

Lenie,

We always knew you would surprise us. Perhaps with children, or a medal of trickery, however - we're pleased it was wings and not an Exile order. You've always kept us on our toes. It's only fitting that you've managed to do so again.

Please send us a portrait of you, your new wings and your friends.

All our love,

- Mother and Father

Dear Mother and Father,

I am unsure what to do, how to move forward here. So much has happened since last we wrote each other. A whole new religion is starting under me, Do not ask how because I cannot explain it.

I’ve also got the records back on our family tree from the archives in the Five Shires and will start doing research on it very soon. Hopefully I will be able to find someone that shares this trait as well and I can figure out what else will happen or if it’s done and I get beautiful wings only!(and a religion).

I have also lost a friend, but I will gain her back. If I have to drag her to Therapy Pit and make her listen I will (Do not ask about therapy pit err or the outcome).

Oh I forgot to tell you! I am studying Draconic now as well and WOW is that a hard language. I love you both, sorry for rambling and as always do not worry. I am fine. That picture you requested will have to wait a bit longer but I will get it.

Love,
Lenie

Lenie,

We are sending you some tomes on Draconic pronunciation and history for your studies. Please take care as these are rare books!
I hope you are being responsible as the figure of a new religion, please be diligent with your choice of tenets of faith.

We will have to ensure we also follow it as well. So send us your spiritual guidelines.
I will make sure that the hunting circle is aware of how much more important you are than Mrs Ellisons son who is a famous bard in Ierendi and gets thousands of gold a performance! That'll show her.

Be nice to your friends. Remember, friends don't let friends get stabbed.

All our love,

- Mother and Father

Once more another package arrives for Len’s parents. This time instead of a plain marked box it appears Len went into artist mode and attempted to create a fancy design and wrote in large letters above the design are the words “Tosen’s Treats”

Within the box is an assortment of chilled chocolate treats, some in the shapes of flowers and even bread loaves.

“Hello Mother and Father,

Writing you to give you a life update. The friends that I believed I had lost forever, I have gained back. The wounds are still there, but we are able to talk about them and heal.

I visited Ylaruam and sat on the beach there and saw SOOO many animals. I stayed for hours until Val dragged me off out of the sun, saying that I burn away if I kept sitting there.

The one I warned you about in the past, it seems he has passed on, this information fills me with regret as I did enjoy talking to him. Good news is, I get to take care of his massive pet that he calls Fenrir. Hopefully he does not treat my wings like chew toys.

I love you both, all are doing well here. I hope you both are doing okay as well and enjoy the treats! I am just testing out things for future plans.”

Signed,
Lenie

The end of a letter is marked with the shape of Len’s lips that are chocolate coloured, signaling she was probably eating the very same chocolates she has just mailed.

A slightly chewed and slobber coated letter arrives for the Tosen family, thankfully in the time of its mailing it has dried and the letter is still readable.

“Hello Mother and Father,

Fenrir is settling in well.

Rumours say he was the runt of the litter, if that is so, he has overcome it and he is quite a handful, but I will love him, no matter how many damn chairs he destroys when I am not home.

He has calmed down a bit since he has been with me. Still looks at me like he wishes to eat me, but that is expected. The growling and the drooling has decreased when I come home, so that is progress.

Anyways I am rambling now, so will cut this letter short.

Love you both,
Lenie

A long delayed package from Len arrives, she even tipped the delivery person extra, expecting her Mother to be rather angry. Along with the letter is another Tosen's Treats package.

Dearest Mother and Father,

"Sorry for my delay in writing you, I am doing great as is the Tosen's Treats business. We have a second location as well, and I hope it does well. You may remember Fenrir, He returned to the wild, to go and create a pack of his own. I sometimes go by the area we left him and look around to see if I can find him."

"I met a new friend called Kyrus, he plays a crystal instrument, and their talent in playing music is amazing. Not as well as Val, I may be biased when it comes to Val. Oh, oh, and also I met Lark! She is such a delight to be around, her energy, her excitement to see and experience new things, reminds me of myself, and I am unsure if it is a good thing or not. "

"To keep her safe, she has a wonderful guard at her side called Beeps or Pookums. Swan and I call him Ferdinand, Deathbringer of Fire. It was a rather proper and regal name, I had to accept his demand and call him by it. I also got STICKERS!"

Attached to the letter now are an assortment of stickers, placed between the sentences, others placed along the edge.

"I am going to start up looking for artifacts again, I am aware it was a dangerous time for me last time, and I reached out to the Council and sought their advice and permission first, to ensure I did not cause any trouble when I started. I am going to return to the artifacts back to Verge. I have a concern it may involve Shadows we have seen around Verge at times, and have been quiet as of late. Something tells me, starting this may stir them up again, if they wish to threaten Verge as well as those I protect, then I will not back down.

Ah, it seems I got carried away Mother and let my passion take over my writing. Do enjoy the treats, I added more of Father's favourite for him.

Signed,
Lennie
