A letter to an old friend.

Astraeus

Recommended Posts

Astraeus sighs, sitting down behind his desk in the Roseus Aquila manor. Roseus Aquila manor was a too large name, for the empty land with a small farm and hut lying below in the valley.

Running his hand through his hair, he examined the maps that lay before him. These were maps, gone old from the years. Astraeus had not bothered to fetch any late ones; he rarely traveled around Asulon these days.

He pulled the map closest on the table towards him. He remembered this map fondly. He ran his index finger along the road that led north, then west, to the outlying lands there. It would then bend upwards, steeply, towards the old city of Alras, named Kal’Alras in these days.

“I dun’t know why I never visited it, it must’ve been the fear of what would be to see after the war. Last I had seen it, it had already been a ravage.”

Astraeus shudders, the memories slightly overwhelming him.

“The place that Alek told me to head for, the place which Ellser led me to.” He runs his hand across his face, wiping his nose, aswell as the few tears on his face. “Ellser… Whom I had hopes for when I came to his lands, though it was not meant to be so.”

Astraeus shoves the map away from hin, making other papers fall to the ground, he curses softly as he sees a letter, he had not seen before. Or had he?

He folded the letter open and began to read it to himself.

Alek,

Where you may be, be it far or near. In Kal’Anart, or here. I wish te’ speak wit ye’ about urgent business, it must be told. For it we must travel far and near, to find the truth untold. To find our memories of olde’. I need to find yer’ by the nearest elven week from this day.

Astraeus Goldner.

He had asked an old bard to write it up, he fondly remembered. It was to be about a journey that still had to be undertaken, but he must’ve forgotten to send it in the past months.

Hurrying, he got to his feet and sent his own proud bird on its way, dark grey in color, it flew off into the distance, the direction of Kal’Anart, in hope of finding an old friend. A journey had to be undertaken, one of small importance to some, but of great to Astraeus.

He then strolled down the steps leading into the valley below, thoughts already elsewhere.
