~*Letter to Skylar Todd*~

[Layre Thorn]

Layre sat on the couch,biting her lip as her anger grew,"I must not let this woman bring my brother anymore pain...,"she said as she slowly stood up and moved to Arakad's desk,pulling out a piece of parchment she dipped the quill into the ink well and began to write.

Ms.Todd,

First off let me introduce myself to you, I am Layre McKairin, Kaylor's older sister...I would like to invite you to my home in Umbra for tea and conversation this Tuesday at 8:30pm (est). I give you my word no harm will come to you, if this is not satisfying then other arrangements in a neutral area can be agreed upon. It is in my opinion that we have alot to discuss and I would love to clear the air so to speak on certain matters. Please send word back with Katana if this time is suitable.

Lady Layre McKairin-Thorn

Stealing the letter shut with the wax stamp of the entwined black thorns she looked down to Katana,"I need you awake...,"she said as the catdragon raised its head and looked to her,"take this to Ms.Skylar Todd...,"she said as the catdragon stood up and stretched then took the parchment and flew off.

"It begins....,"she said to herself as she moved back to the couch and sat down,her eyes watching the fire as she waited for Arakad to come home.

*A letter addressed to Lady Layre McKairin-Thorn*

Mrs. McKairin-Thorn,

My name is Haden McMillan, and I am the current chapel keeper for the Solace Chapel. I regret to inform you that your letter is undeliverable, as Ms. Todd's whereabouts are unknown. Shall she resurface between now and the time you have set forth in your letter, I shall be sure to inform her. Otherwise, your guess is as good as mine on where she is.

Haden McMillan

[Layre Thorn]

Hearing a screech from the window,Layre turned her head and looked over,"That was quick...,"she said as Katana flew into the room then walked over to her.

Taking the letter from the Vollum she reached up and scratched under its chin while reading the letter,"such a pity...I was looking forward to meeting this girl...perhaps if what my brother says is true ..he is better off without her...,"she said as she leaned over and tossed the letter into the fire then stood up and moved to get Katana a treat.
