Nearly two weeks ago, Serein had made her way to see Deldor Evra outside of Rauvinwatch Keep to ask a special favor. She'd heard for the right price and a properly placed wink he would send messages anywhere one wished. Apparently he'd trained a few special birds just for such a purpose.

While sitting with Jonus, talking about the current state of affairs around the Marches, her mind drifted back to that message. It had been a letter addressed to Sir Gerad Tallhart at Barakmordin. She wondered if the bird had reached Gerad, or for that matter, Tethyr at all.

The tall bard had penned Gerad about what had happened in the mission, about Webber, the siege at Settlestone, as well as the state of the militia. Everything that had been happening in and around Rivermoot, she had written, all in an effort to convince him to return home, where he was needed.

After making the trip to see the knight in Tethyr and his sending her back, for her own safety as he claimed, she wasn't sure if this last ditch effort would do anything at all to convince him, but she had tried.

Now it was a matter of waiting, hoping the message made it in the first place and hoping even more it would convince Gerad he was needed, not only by her, but by his home.
