(The letter is written in haste)
As I was walking back from the scholars stair I noticed a smell that filled me with dread. I walked to the alley the smell was coming from and noticed a body...nailed to the wall and .... cut open in a very skilled way but yet armature way. Who ever has done this knew what they were doing. The skill was evident and the gore....the smell was bad but the gore was worse. As I was looking over the body a man came up behind me and touched my shoulder. I fell back and felt as though my heart had stopped soon enough I was on my feet. I didn't trust the man, I'd never seen him before. He seemed new and later admitted he was. Something felt off but I didn't want to get an innocent man hung. Oh well...I need to tell the watch..at some point but Rae knows and he sent a note to the head watcher. I went back and dragged him there with me. I had to make sure it was real, all of it. Oh my stomach...I feel sick. I followed the strange man out of the alley and tried to memorize what I could of him. I took him to a nearby area and sat under the trees trying to learn what I could though I feel he learned more of me. Once I find my voice again I will say more, I must for now I shall cling to Rae and hope sleep finds me in a peaceful place and not that alley.
