Mother,
 I know it has been a long time since I have written to you. Forgive me that. I have been with a collection of friends. I admit the trouble I have gotten into with them would make you give the sour face you had any time you caught me playing jests on the men of the camp. I will not go into detail for now. In a later letter to you I will write about all the trouble I have found myself in. I hope to have you meet Sir Maddoct, Sir Ramsay and, Sir Ashnell if you ever find a way to visit. You would enjoy their company greatly.

            Ashnell had not considered of having another person to look after. Not after the time that he had lost his lover. It was all thanks to his profession as a specialist with a bow and barbed arrows, his profession as an assassin. Throughout his life ever since he was sixteen, his life had been molded with that.

How long? How long had she been sitting there? It felt like days... The pain only makes it seem longer. It never leaves... No matter what she does...
