Dear Aranya,

Miss you. I hope nothing bad has happened yet; that two year cycle is nearly upon us again. I hope you are well!

Anton's letter had written itself before Aranya's very eyes, one of her writing quills floating up and penning the message to the paper resting on a table in her room at the White Strider of it's own accord.

It wasn't exactly an uncommon thing between her and the human. Safer and faster than using a courier. It was among the many privileges one earned in learning the arcane arts.

It was the Kirin Tor magus' words that troubled her.

He had noted that it seemed, every two years, some new catastrophe befell the world.

Which, by that notion, meant that Khadgar's hunt for Gul'dan, the demon intelligence that the Kirin Tor had secretly wanted Aranya to gain for them, keeping her shuffled just aside of where Proudmoore could find her and the other Horde assets out, and all the scrolls and artifacts that were taken from the warlocks in Tanaan and "mysteriously" not reported to the Horde or Alliance high command, but ended up in the Violet Archives - everything… Was going to come to its inevitable conclusion, and Anton Tavallion feared that it would come sooner rather than later, if the Thalassian sorceress knew him well enough to understand his half-cryptic messages by now.

A wave of the sin'dorei woman's hand sent her quill flying up into the air again, writing in shimmers on the empty atmosphere as Aranya's thoughts dictated what it would say to appear on paper - many miles away - for Anton alone to read.

Anton

I am well. I've recently taken up with a private benefactor for my work again. I miss you, too.

I don't fear the future, Anton. It would happen with or without us, anyway. We can only live up to the chance in our lifetime of doing a damn thing about it.

I know you're troubled, but there's more. I found everything that I didn't want to find in Northrend. What we found together in Vashj'ir is still to come.

But I can't give you my findings on it just yet. There's something I need to use it for, first. Please trust me.
