A Letter

Kandri had been used to recieving letters from her beloved cousin; although he was years older than her they had been the best of friends while she lived at home in Moonglade. However, when she moved away so did he. Now she often heard of his travels, by way of short letters delivered by Meena (the rabbit). 

This letter was different. Her hands trembled and mind quaked when she got close to it. 

She feared it.

My dearest sweetling,

Do you really expect anyone else to teach you to soar as I can? With those cursed and tainted arms of your’s. I suppose your boyfriend tried to help you that day in Darnassus, so rumor has it. How did that work for him? I am in Darnassus for a couple of days. If you come to me, we will teach you to fly.
