Dearest Bethanissa, I write to you from an island that I’m told not many return from once they have breached its shores. It’s cold here, the pegasus knights have had to chip the ice of their mounts’ wings using the spare axes in the caravan, the fires have barely been able to keep us warm. A cloaked gentleman popped out of a basement roughly three days ago and said no magic allowed, as it turns out our company has become so accustomed to lighting the nightly campfire using the magicks of our various mages. Nobody knows how to build an actual fire. To pass the time we can only discuss Smashterpiece #43: Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. Without this distraction, I daresay we would have lost all morale long ago. I think of you often, Bethanistopher, your picture kept close to my chest in the locket you gave me before I was enlisted. I treasure it, and hope to see you again soon… Matthew is dead. Part three of our discussion on The Blazing Blade will cover chapters 20-26.
