VIGNETTE 9. SOMETHING LOST, SOMETHING FOUND.

Dear Caleb,

I'm arriving in Nevesk. I know you told me not to follow you, but you know how these things go. You almost gave me a heart attack that time you escaped to the forest. I won't let you kill Lilith alone this time. I think I found what I'm destined for.

My parents used to tell me stories about my unborn brother. I keep thinking about them. I couldn't get to know him, but I now have a big brother I want to take care of. So, I'm coming with you. I warned you not to kill her when we were children, but I guess now it's different. However, do not face Lilith without me. It is too dangerous. I know you told me not to do so, that your efforts would be futile if I was involved in it. But what do you expect me to do? Wait and see how my brother is killed by a demon? No, I'm coming. Just wait a few days more.

Yes, I've heard the news. I don't like this situation a bit. First, it was my village, then it was Burdeen… I don't want them to burn Aaren too. But please, I beg you not to initiate the Light spell without me. We still don't know if it's a Light enchantment or a summoning.

I hope you are right about this.

Please, take care,

Lennah.

The letter was found in the bag of a dead cleric, in an abandoned village of Sanctuary[1]. There was blood everywhere, and a bunch of horned-shaped corpses. According to the witness the three willing, including the cleric, had created a portal and a woman had crossed it, followed by an army of demons.
