Hi, Mom,
Today was a rough day. We almost lost Zarya.
It's hard to understand what happened. It seemed like a completely normal mission at the start. Piper, Zarya, and I were holding Tazma and Dreadbane off while Em was getting her piece of the Codex, thanks to a replica we made that works just like the real thing. Em got it, but then when she went to check on Zarya, who fell onto a roof (luckily she seemed unhurt then), Tazma put a life drain spell on her. We had to go Centaur Park to find Malvaron's Auntie Yaga, who could undo the spell.
That didn't go exactly as planned, though. Something was making the trees and bushes move (Em later told me that it was wood sprites), and Piper, Malvaron and I were separated from Em and Zarya. And then Piper got distracted by the flowers and accidently released Love's breath pollen, and Malvaron and I breathed it in. I don't remember much of what happened, to be honest, but the next thing I remember was that holding Malvaron, and Piper said that I was about to marry him. I'm glad Piper got rid of the pollen. I'm not ready to be married, and we had to save Zarya! Though I guess if that had to happen, Malvaron wouldn't be the worst guy. To be honest, I kind of like him.
Where was I again? Oh right! So anyway, we found Em and Zarya. Em was fighting Auntie Yaga, and Zarya was unconscious. It turns out that Tazma told Aunt Yaga that Em and Zarya were thieves. Which is kind of funny, considering that Zarya was a thief, and I could never imagine Em stealing something. Luckily, Malvaron told Aunt Yaga what really happened, and she undid the spell.
I can't believe this happened though. What if we couldn't save Zarya in time? I don't want to admit it, but it's possible that one of us…doesn't survive a mission. Being a mysticon is dangerous. But I don't want that to happen. Piper, Em, and Zarya aren't just fellow mysticons. They're my best friends!
I wish you weren't turned to bone. I really need you here to tell me that everything will be alright.

Tears formed in Queen Goodfey's eyes as she read the letter. It wasn't fair that her daughters had to be mysticons! One almost died, and the other had to deal with it.
Still, she wondered if it was bad that her daughters were mysticons. Arkayna and Zarya seemed happy as Mysticons. But wasn't it her job to keep her daughters safe?
She sighed. The Dragon Disk chose them, so it had to sense that they were ready. She would make sure to keep an eye on them, though, and tell Emerald and Piper to call her if anything happened to her daughters.
With everything going on, she almost missed the fact that Arkayna said that she liked a boy. Was Malvaron the boy that Arkayna almost kissed after they defeated the Spectral Hand? The letters did make him seem like a good person. Maybe she could slowly ease up on Arkayna dating him.
Note: It has come to my attention that I have made an error in my list of episodes. I have put "The Dome" as an episode, but the parents would be in the ocean at that time. Because of this, I will include the events of "Clash of the Tridents" in the chapter, as well as doing my best to ensure that there are no other conflicts with the episodes I've chosen.
