My Dearest Sandman,
I received your correspondence early this morn. I was shocked by warning you so calmly gave. I never knew that your foe was mine as well. ''Tis troubling news. Very worrisome indeed, that he would play with the kings of the world like toys. You told me that he killed your keep. Even the sheep! Why would he do such a thing! Those poor animals. You vehemently wrote, "That your foe had killed your warriors as a warning" ; what warning was he trying to say? Do you know what he wants from you? To be you killer or your helper for a much larger scheme? To awaken you to the fact that you may not be able to stay out of the war, that the Gods of Olympus, are waging; to entice you to fight?

You are like your father my love. Hard to anger, but calm like the storm in your rage In such regards. On the matter of your fate and your enemy to be set aside for the moment, I am confused on how you view this war.
I thought that you were apathetic to the war that the gods were waging with their primordial enemy. Did your foe know this? I would assume not. For he has angered and grieved you so. Killing your family; your brothers and sisters in arms, was the wrong tactic to get you to do what he wanted. Unless it was to enrage you into the eye of the storm in an effort to choose a side in the war. Does he know how cold your rage is? You are a very powerful man; My dearest. I am very worried about you and how your are fairing after such a loss.
I would never anger you, my love, because your rage; it frightens me. I know how you value your friends and family; I would never speak ill of them. So don't threaten me, I am not the one you should take your animosity out on. I am only trying to help you, in the only way that I can. Through our letters.

I also know you'll never harm me. Even if I do terrible things to protect my family. As lady of the shire, I am required to defend and do my duty to protect this house and state. Even if your job requires you to slay the wicked. Which I am, at times. But I had too. You know this.

Although you must surely know that your power attracts greed, otherwise know as the greed of man; Power. Such is how the gods were corrupted and how you were cast aside ; betrayed for the lesser man. I will always have faith in you. My dearest Assassin, my lovely Sandman.

I love you. 💋

My young ones are not ready to face such a foe like yours. Ever changing; ever shifting; into and from his various forms. He will surely kill my young ones. I fear for their safety. I dearly implore you for your help in protecting them. I have raised them well. To the best of my capabilities, I have raised my sons and daughters. I don't want them to be the warriors that they must be; I want my sons and daughters to be safe, but I know that I can't keep them here in the shire indefinitely. I will miss them, very much so, when the time comes. However the time keeper is missing. I know not of where he'd gone. Or gods forbid, if he was kidnapped. Can you use your connections to try and find him? Please! It is very important. He knows my location. I know how religiously that you guard me, here at the shire shrine.
You rightly fear for my safety. A man in shawl had crept up to my chamber door, knife drawn. He nearly killed me. My almost Assassin would have struck me down when I was heading to the dinning hall to greet my children for noontime meal. I was just lucky to carry the weapon you gifted me on our anniversary. He died slowly. Like you would have wanted because he dared to try to harm me severely. I know you don't take kindly to people, even less so to those who would harm your family. Please come see me. I have urgent news, more so then myself almost dying. I cannot in good faith tell you in this flimsy form. It's very time sensitive and I do not know how secure these correspondences are.
It would please me greatly, my love. Come see me. Please! I beg of thee.

I miss you... Please write soon....

With all the best wishes,
Evelyn,
Your ❤️ love
