It had been about one full week since Marschal had swept into a dingy unhygienic cabin with dirt floors, casing after the word of a boy who often cried wolf, chasing that world to find her bound and shackled for two years. Even right now? She had a hard time believing it had been two years since she had been kidnapped, that she'd lasted those full two years until Leigh swept in like a prince she insisted on not needing. However, no matter her words, Kazehime knew the often drunk man had saved her life, even if it irked her so much that she'd needed help, this showed her there was at least one person in the world she could rely on, even if he seemed like the domineering type from how they'd interacted, she felt safe around him for now. However the guild hall was not the same as someone she felt safe around, and it drove her crazy being stuck within SilverMoon, she'd already taken every mission in rose garden viable to her! Now she needed to find a new way to get out, and she really didn't care if going far could be dangerous, she wanted to take a normal mission, heck maybe with some fighting, she felt like she could beat someone up about now!
Jiyu was walking to the job board, and reaching for one of the magic required jobs, when the mail man rushed in and asked for her, which was odd since she was really only on her guilds mailing list, and no one else was getting a letter today. Despite how odd she found the letter? Kazehime went over to one of the booths on the top floor to read it, not expecting what she would find within.
Dear Jiyu,
What has it been since we last spoke? Three, four years, well anyways I've always trusted you'd contact me when you settled down somewhere and had time! However I don't have the time to wait for that anymore, neither does the village, so I looked you up, did well for yourself becoming a mage in a guild! Even thought we didn't know long, I have a favor to ask, your likely the last person alive I know, the village is dead and I'm not quiet sure what happened, but I was bitten by someone when I ran out, I'm starting to feel very ill........
-Yours ----
It trailed off because there was a spot of blood on the signature, but she knew it was from the girl who helped her hide briefly after she ran away until she'd managed to get onto a ship! It was a weird relation, because they had not contacted each other since, Kazehime had not wanted to leave a paper trail for her father to follow if he went looking, so they'd been out of touch. Still, she owed the apparently sickly person, so if they just wanted someone by their bed side as they slipped away?
