Lyra felt the warm sunlight hit her face through her large bedroom window. She lay, yawned and stretched until she felt more awake. She looked across at her bedroom table and instead of her eyes fixing on her clock they rested on a letter that deffinately hadn't been there when she went to sleep. Curious, she leaned across her bed and picked up the letter.

'Now who could this be from?' She murmured to Pantalaimon.

'Open it to see if its deffinately for you.' Was his reply. She nodded and opened the top part of the letter. Dear Lyra, she read.

' Yep it's for me.' She unfolded it completely and started to read with Pantalaimon reading over her shoulder.

'Oh my god! Pan, it's from Will!' She gasped. It had been so long... 73 years, and now a letter! Oh Will, thought Lyra longingly. Pantalaimon nodded in disbelief. They kept on reading together until Lyra got to the end of the letter and felt tears of happiness, love, sorrow, pain, and so many other emotions fall silently down her face. After all these years. Lyra couldn't help herself from filling up with such a longing that she found herself gasping and shaking and crying with such emotional turmoil going on inside her that it nearly overcame her. Pantalaimon was feeling the same but did his best to comfort her.

'Oh Pan! From Will, from Will. Will...' She trailed off.

' How did it get here?' He asked. Once Lyra had calmed down a bit she said, 'I dunno. An Angel could've delivered it maybe... Yeah that would probably have been it.'

' Why don't you ask the Alethiometer?' Pantalaimon said.

' Good idea.' Lyra had been studying the Alethiometer all her life and hag gotten really good at it. She was probably the best in her world. Though she knew that she would never be as good as she was before. She first asked the question, ' Is this letter from Will Parry?' ' Yes.' It answered her. She felt a leap of joy and love inside of her and next asked, 'How did it get here?' 'The angel Xanphania sent a Angel to deliver it.' It answered, then it added, 'He does not know it has been sent to you.' Lyra wondered why not, but decided it didn't matter. Will had married and had children like herself. Lyra had married a man called Matthew, and though he wasn't really anything like Will she had still loved and cared for him. She had had a child called Bethany and Lyra cherished her with all her heart. Lyra began to wonder if she could send a letter back to Will. It was Midsummers day today, and she could have it sent before 12 if she got to work...

'Pan i'm going to send a letter back from the both of us. We can see if that Angel will come here and deliver it to Will.' With that she picked up a pen and paper and got writing;

Dear Will,
I was so surprised when I woke up and read your letter! Though I suppose you will be shocked to wake up and find your letter gone. I asked the Alethiometer and it told me that an Angel took it and delivered it to me during the night. I made my life's work to study the Alethiometer, and though I will never be as good as I was, I have a better understanding than before. I have gotten married to a man called Matthew. He is wonderful and I made sure before I married him that he would be good to me and the ones I love. He is so unlike you though, and I love him, though I will never be able to love a person more than you. We have a child together, a girl called Bethany. She is beautiful, all that I could ever hope for. I know though, about making comparisons, I will never be rid of my love for you, nor would I want to be. It has been terribly hard, but I have got through. At first living without you was horrible, through the years there have been times where I have just wanted you so badly, for you to hold me and just be there. Oh Will, my love, my dear, I have missed you so. I have been happy with my life though, and now at 85 years I live alone with Matthew in a small house in Oxford. It is warm and a comfort to stay in Oxford nearing the end of my life. I am getting old Will, and I am starting to feel it. I won't die for a while yet though. But I know that when I do, I will then be with you forever. All my atoms, and all your atoms, joined because I will not part from you again, not ever. I love you Will, and if I forget everything else, I will never forget that love.

Lyra

She signed off her name and went down to breakfast. An hour later when she came back upstairs, the letter was gone. Lyra smiled in anticipation of 12 o'clock, where she would sit on her's and Will's bench in the Botanic Garden, where she would be close to him, but never close enough.

A.N I might put up another chap. Tell me what you think please! X x
