L's Correspondence
Below are some of the most recent communications that I have received which bear on "the subject." At times I think I am the only one who is really looking for this boy, whoever he may be... Though the anonymous missives I receive from time to time certainy imply that there are others who believe something portentous is afoot. I will add more as it becomes available, though thus far progress is slow. Someone - something? impedes me at every turn. Could it be Wolfen? Pray it is not, for I cannot imagine a worse fate befalling the world of the Powers - or the world of all humankind, for that matter - than the return of that power-mad tyrant.

RE: Messenger
L,
I've been keeping my ear to the wind, so to speak (LOL at my own joke!), but haven't heard anything about any Messenger. Other than, of course, the usual old myths that no one really even seems to care about any more. Yes, I know you think the Messenger is coming soon, perhaps even the WK, but I just don't see any signs of that.

PS Don't you think it's funny that powerful wizards and witches use email?

RE: Messenger
I hope you're right, you old windbag (BTW, you can't LOL at your own jokes, it's the height of hubris!), I truly do. Because everything that I see points to something terrible in the making.
PS First of all, you know I don't like it when you call us "witches" and "wizards." It's so medieval. And secondly, no, I don't think our use of email is funny. Would you rather we use pigeons?

RE: Portents
Councilor,
My father wanted me to tell you that a portion of the Earthtree that bears up the Tower withered last night. Such has never happened before - at least not that we know of - History is, of course, your province. At any rate, he said you would know what this means, if anything. Please advise.

RE: Portents
Tell him it's what I've been telling him for years now: we are in the eleventh hour, child. And we must prepare ourselves now, for if we wait to start our preparations until after the Prophecies have already been fulfilled, it will be too late.
Please ask your father most respectfully if he would spread forth his tendrils and look among the Life he watches over to see if any of the flora or fauna have heard of other strange goings-on. Please report them to me, and do thank him for communicating this bit about the Earthree.
L, Councilor of Earth

RE: Back off
You are meddling in things you neither understand nor appreciate. Your nose is far out, Brown Lady. Back off, or you will find that the stone you stand upon is really quicksand ready to swallow you up.

RE: Back off
E,
I recently received an anonymous email which I can only construe as threatening. You wouldn't happen to know anything about this, would you?

I'm quite sure I have no idea what you are driveling about.
You think Harry Potter, Fablehaven, or Eragon are cool? Well check out - find out - who is Billy Jones!
