Mother and Father,
I have not written in a long time. I haven't had the heart for it, I felt it was useless. But I have begun writing again. So much has happened but I feel I do not have all the words to describe it all. I will tell you the most recent of happenings.
I have resolved who has been leaving food on my doorstep, his name is Demmlemoth he is a very nice man, and I think a good man as well. Apparently, there is a man taking young children in Bree. I was warned about it from a few men. They say he is dressed in dark clothing...what if its him? Is he coming back to finish the job he left behind? I hope so...I have been practicing with my daggers, I will kill him if I see him. Whatver or whoever he is...he will pay, I promise mother.
I have also made some new friends. They are both very kind, Davrynn who I call Dav is ten, and I know more about than I do the other boy; Eoricc or Ric, who is around the same age as me. Not to long ago we went on an exciting adventure. Ric took us to the Old Forest and the Barrow Downs. It was quite fun. Ric kept getting annoyed at my amazing ability to hide so well in the shadows and move around unseen. There was one... not so joyful experience from our little journey. On our way back to Bree a large mutt came and tried to attack us. Without giving him a chance Ric killed him. I know it was probably for the best but I wish there was a way it could have been handled differently. The poor pup had seemed so untreated, its fur covered in mites and other bugs, the skin underneath the fur rotting away. I couldn't stop crying, it reminded me so much of losing Sidle, the broken body, the blood. It was not a fun end to our trip. But that is how life has always worked out for me it seems.
I also finally saved up to buy myself a steed so I can put those riding skills to use. I named her after you mother, Layla. She is black and strong, and beautiful. I think you would love her if you saw her Father.
I currently am finishing up a bowl of stew a very nice man bought me and Davrynn just came in so I will finish this letter up.
I love you Mother and Father. Please keep watching over me, still waiting for another Sidle please.
Love,
Syllea
