[Alatariel Telemnar]

Amarië did not know what to say. How could she just drop and say what the truth was. 'The letter may have been addressed to you too, but it was given to me, for you had already been lost, far away, although the letter should have explained most of it. Did you not read the whole thing? There were at least two pages?'

The letter would have explained it all, and Amarië did not understand how she could not have understood it. Then she remembered, that was not all of it. Although it was very long there was another letter. The maiden looked confuzed. Amarië took out another envelope from her pouch. 'Here read this.'

She handed her the letter and then walked to her room. It may still be early, but she felt weary and wanted to rest.
