She Must Be Stopped

Part of the following chapter Isabella's Fall #4
A faded letter, stained with salt

LaCuran, I've gone on the run. I am so sorry to leave you to face Captain Isabella's wrath alone. Whatever she does to you will be less horrible than what she had planned. Perhaps that's some small comfort? I hope so. I couldn't let her go through with it. I couldn't let her become the monster she wanted to be. My final request of you is to distract her until I can escape the island with the box. She will certainly kill you for it, and maybe worse; still, I must ask, for the sake of our long friendship. If that's not enough, for the sake of every living thing in this world. Even now, I fear it is too late for I hear the Heretic's laughter. Hellish echoes that plague my waking thoughts and haunt my nightmares. I must flee. Go with God, friend, if you can still find him. - <b>Father Dante</b>
