Time Sent: Pre-Lost Hero, probably pre-Last Olympian too
Sent From: Sonoma
To Reyna, Praetor of the Twelfth Legion Fulminata:
The excursion to Sonoma has been a delayed, yet ultimately successful endeavor. Bacchus has gifted us with a gracious amount of Imperial gold ornaments, which could easily be melted down for use at camp. He has also promised to bless the valley with a good fruit harvest this year.
In regards to the delay, that can be pinned on the wildness of the task. Tracking the wine god's lost leopard proved quite challenging, especially when you have to retrace the god's footsteps through his many revelries. Those I needed information from proved quite rowdy. And then, of course, the transport of the leopard was quite a test in itself.
However, success was eventually attained and Bacchus is quite pleased. Hopefully, he will aid us when we will surely need it in the upcoming confrontations. I will return by the week. Sonoma is elegant in its own way, but I've grown to miss the valley.
Regards,
Jason Grace
Fifth Cohort Centurion
Twelfth Legion Fulminata
With the high-stake missions and pressing time constraints characteristic of quests, writing reports back to the legion was not at all mandatory, especially not during a quest. Jason had sent his in the hopes of giving Reyna one less thing to worry about and a bit of good news.
And indeed, she needed it, though nobody would ever be able to tell. Just a month ago, the legion's senior praetor was killed in a stand-off. Reyna was getting her first taste of leading alone, right as the Titan War took on a new sheen of reality. With Mount Othrys looming across the valley, she was glad to hear that someone she trusted would be by her side again. She had a feeling she and Jason would be working closely together in the future. During those hard weeks, watching the grapevines bloom in the Garden of Bacchus was one of her only joys.
