2 To Whomsoever is Reading This,

My last letter certainly ended on an uncertain note, did it not? My apologizes. It was not my intention to sound quite so cryptic but the situation was truly urgent at that moment. To put it plainly, there was a danger to my life but currently I am safe. Or about as safe as one can be these days. These are truly uncertain times.

Mou, I do not wish to talk about these depressing things right now. I do not wish that the only remaining mark of my existence contain such melancholy and bloody affairs alone.

Oh! I just realized that I have extremely discourteous. Where are my manners? One must always introduce themselves before nattering on about this and that! My identity... I, myself, do not clearly know to frame my identity. Mayhap I should start from the beginning? My name... Well, I am called Laika now. As I previously mentioned, I was born in the time of the Safroons.

Mmm, the thought just crossed my mind that I am unsure as to the time period in which this letter is being read. Do records of my time even exist anymore? I wonder. What else can I say? Ah! I was born about 50 turns of the stars after the Meika continent split from the larger Areka continent. I wonder if that is clear enough? The names might change but geographical markers should still help to identify. Meika is the half moon shaped continent. Pardon me, but I cannot think of any other markers.

You must have gathered from my ramblings that even though it was a period of peace when I was born, something changed that. I do not know how to describe all that I see, all I experience and not be taken to be a liar. I am currently living it out yet I cannot believe it myself a majority of the time. How can I expect anyone else to?

So don't. I don't mind if you simply take to be silly tale. After all, that is up to you. I simply ask for the honour of your company as I ramble on. It gives my heart some measure of peace that at least my writings will remain no matter what my future be.

Hau, it is time for me to leave again. I hope to write more letters but in case I do not, I wish you well.

Love,

Laika
