Young Master Vaughn,
As promised, I am writing to share a bit of the journey thus far in hopes of entertaining you. To be honest, I have little of note on myself so I think I will focus on the crew in this one.
The forward group of the House Valerian Porters consists of Sil, Felix, and I. Most notably from us is that Sil seemed to contract some sort of disease where everything he was handed was broken shortly thereafter. In his defense, it was never his fault. A Bear we have befriended broke a bow for example, so we may want to get him some gloves to ensure he can’t touch anything moving forward. I would say that we should warn others about this disease as well, but we all know no one would let him touch them anyway. I have been privileged enough to get to train with our gloriously masked Knight. He likes to act like he doesn’t enjoy my attitude. You and I both know the truth. The word on the street is that his sister should be joining us soon. I pray we are blessed with her presence. Alfred made me another sword in the image of my original. I will make sure you see it upon my return. We are lucky to have him with us. Tiffany made us a wonderful meal. The food was great and more importantly she grants us the opportunity to get together as a result. Speaking of that meal, Sir Minona beat the Mask in a duel for her preferred seat at the table. Always fun to watch their banter. Guy saved a priest and sacrificed his body to protect our Lady. He obviously survived, but knowing you can trust a man like that goes a long way. Woodsman had to babysit me on a few walks through the woods. If I am being honest, when I lose sight of him and catch him again I almost mistake him for one of the bears Sir Jokeri was playing with. One thing that remains a constant in my life is that William is one of my favorite people. The joy in one’s life is exponentially expanded by having someone like him in it. Rowan and I may be able to help form a little needle working club in town with the help of a new friend. Selfishly, I want to get to hang out with Rowan more and the needle working makes me look useful rather than needed for the attention. Gil is realistically in town for a greater purpose but what entertained me was the way he was terrorizing crows with his gun. He put one down that was about to attack me from behind, I owe him for that one. Lucian’s boy Peter almost got wrapped up in a peculiar situation and Lucian ended up going home to check-in on him after. If you hear anything about that please let us know. Leonora should be catching up with the forward crew soon. Never tell her this, but I am looking forward to seeing the old lady again. I do feel like I am missing someone else to update you on, I just can’t imagine who it could it be…? I am sure they have a commanding presence and are the driver to our success, but I just can’t seem to remember who that person is. It will come to me after I put the pen down ;).
Stay well out there my friend. Focus on your studies enough to get by. Train as if your life depends on it. Do your best to have some fun when no one is looking.
I will write you again soon.
Naught but Glory.
Your Friend,
Damian
