(An unsent letter, it seems, written in charcoal pencil on parchment)
To Saegan/Violet,
I know you don't know me yet... but you will...
I'm your mother... as of writing this, you haven't arrived yet, and have only really begun to grow within me. But... I'll introduce myself anyway, in case I pass before you really know me.
My name is Erimyl Wolfcaelder... yes, that is my name. Erimyl Burwood, if you want to refer to me with my maiden name. As of writing this, I'm 23 years old and was married to your father shortly before we learned you were on your way... ah, roughly a week before learning this, if I counted the days right.
Your father and I are very excited for you... your father is rather an impatient man when it comes to good things, and it's even more so for you... he and I almost have to force our patience for you, really, we're that excited.
I wonder who you'll look more like... me, or your father... Will you have his hair and nose? Or my freckles and--as your father likes to point out--my smile?... I also wonder which one of us you'll take after more... I suppose we'll find out in time, hm?
Your grandfathers are just as excited as your father and I. You'll noticed that neither of them look like your father or myself, which... that's okay. I was adopted by the one with the long hair, and he married the one who has a great knowledge of cooking and healing. You'll figure out which is which quickly.
Then there's your uncles. They're pretty excited, actually... Not as excited as your father and I, or your grandfathers, but they're excited none the less. Rick and Bryse are their names.
Then your godfather... Actually, I still need to ask your father about who the godparents should be... but the one who I really think should be your godfather is named Blince... he's my mentor, and another father-figure in my life. He's a good man, as much as he'll try and convince you otherwise.
Oh yeah... Your cousin, Iridith! I... haven't told her you're on the way yet... but I have a feeling she'll be just as excited as everyone else.
You'll also meet two of your aunts and two of your other uncles--Khawlah, Adara, Saqr and Dryn--but you'll get to know them better than I do, I think... Anyway...
You'll meet so many people who know me... but, while they are important, your family is moreso important... and that's just what the people I've listed are. They are your family, just as much as they are mine... just as much as they are your father's...
Saegan... or Violet... I love you.
- Your mother
