Xelha,

If any composer tried to capture life with all its unpredictability in music, he would not have music at all, but a garbled heap of tuneless sounds. I apologize for waxing poetic (and poorly at that), but I've been flying from one task to the next without cease for several months now. Your Ocean, by no fault of yours, has a lot to do with it. There's a fish-creature that has been prowling our shores, ripping holes in fishing nets, and finally taking the limbs off an unfortunate man. It's a greenish-gray color, and has a squareish body with a large mouth, and fins like scythes. Do you know what it is, or even what we should call it? The Witches of your country seem very well versed in the lore of the ancient Ocean, so I was hoping for some assistance in identifying the creature so we could find some way to deal with it.

I'm sorry for being so terse, Xelha. I'm glad to know you and the others are well. I hope to be able to speak to you in a much more relaxed tone soon.

Best of luck to you!

Lyude
