The reply arrives two days later, the writing perfectly neat. Too neat, really; as if it were the result of many previous letters being torn up.
Sameth,
I, too, need to apologise, but first can I say that I am beyond relived that your world is safe, and that you have found your place in it. It certainly sounds like you will be busy! But it sounds like a job that was made for you, so I wish you all the best luck your world can spare.
I regretfully must say that I was around for Milliways having its problems, although given I was in the lake in aquatic form, I was beyond useless. I must also say that I have neither been well, nor happy. I have been locked out of Milliways for four years, and a lot of things changed. I, too, had to play a part in saving my world, although in my case the fact that I had to save it is only right because I helped to endanger it in the first place. That is a long, sad story, but suffice to say that my family is dead, and I am in exile. I fell into the lake before Milliways ended, and when it came back, my link to my world had been severed (I can do magic now, or rather, I could on my world, so I know what has been cut.)
Your apology is accepted, as is the knife (I have no weapons of my own except for myself, as all of mine are on Matrin). I must offer my own apologies for losing my temper so badly at you, but also because I am not sure that I can see you right now. Although it pains me to admit, I am not in the best state of mind, both due to exile and due to events that proceeded it. I cared for you deeply four years ago, but that was four years ago. A lot has happened, none of it your fault and nothing I blame you for.
I wish you the very best, Sameth. I mean this with my whole heart. I would tell you not to worry about finding your place or how well you do at fixing things, but I know that you will do so anyway. I wish you a long, successful, happy life.
