Dear Nicholas

Dear Nicky, It's been four months since you left home to join the Soulwardens. Are you staying safe? Are you eating right? I miss seeing your face at the breakfast table every morning. I said some harsh things when you left. I'm sorry. I was so scared of the path you are taking. All I want is for you to be safe and happy. I've never seen a happy Soulwarden. If your training becomes too hard, there's no shame in coming home. Everything can go back to the way it was. Someone else can save the world. Please write back. Love always, Mama
