A message was delivered to Benicoeur early one morning, the courier seeking out Mirrum in particular. The note was passed after the equine would confirm his identity, and based on the description of the fellow already given to the courier, he would deliver as promised and continue on his way.
The letter itself was in a crimson envelope, black wax seal carefully pressed over the fold. Parchment inside was thick, intricate pattern set over the entire page. Handwriting was very formal, without a drop of ink seemed to be misplaced, though dialect was quite casual.
"My dear friend,
News of the recent happenings in the village reached my quarters and I am quick to write this later, as by the time it reaches you, I will have made all necessary arrangements to board the S.S. Verbatim (the same vessel you may remember) on a journey to Benicoeur.
My associates urged me to stay, but I cannot. I jump at the chance to personally assist an old friend, especially when it involves a business venture we shared together so long ago.
The captain of my guard requested I travel with thirty nobles.. partly because of my failing health. Though when I step off the ship, I'm going to be the only one making the travel to Benicoeur.
I'm almost tired of this life. I need to experience what it's like to fend for myself again. I've nearly forgotten. Allow me to assist you in restoring order in Benicoeur. The village remains a major turning point in my life, and I owe it to myself to return here.
It remains a four day journey by sea. Perhaps by the time you read this, I will be but a few days away. I'm sorry it has taken a conflict to allow me a visit, but know that by any means I am pleased to return.
To a prompt resolution,
Hyuga Sourhyu
Overseer of Dagat Ahas"
