Johnna was helped into the carriage after bidding her father goodbye. She smoothed her skirt and looked out the window, ready for the long journey ahead. Sliding a folded parchment from her pocket, she opened it to read, once again, the script which was much improved.

My Dearest Friend,

Thank you for your timely letter about your story idea. In case you are still suffering from writer's block, I believe I have some suitable ideas, including bad sorcerers and good, favors that were owed, and the lord's father coming back into the story, before meeting his demise.I think we will have much to discuss when you arrive.

As for real life, thank the magics the war ended so quickly. We were about to travel farther away when rumors of those who capitulated or were betrayed reached us.Though we are not sure who was sentenced to die from treason, we personally know that one duke is no longer living and is not a threat to anyone anymore.

We have returned to my soon-to-be brother-in-law's home. He is almost done building an addition for us, and our future children.I love it here; it is quiet and peaceful and I was ecstatic when he asked us to stay with him.

My future husband has found work healing both people and animals in neighboring villages. It is long hours and much travel in this rural area, but he calls me his nurse and sometimes takes me along.

The wedding will happen shortly after you arrive. We could not imagine our dearest friend not being with us on that day, and I hope you can stay a while after.I cannot wait to show you the house and introduce you to my brother-in-law.Perhaps you will find some inspiration and a good environment in which to write while you are here.

The directions are enclosed. I am anxious to see you again and pray for your safe travels.

Warmest regards,

S & C

A/N: Thanks for staying with me and for all the reviews. I honestly had no idea of an ending when I started this story, and I toyed with a few endings... I think this is the best for now, though maybe I will write an alternate someday (evil laugh). This was my first fanfiction, though I've published already on fictionpress. Thanks again for reading and often cheering me up with your reviews! VictoriaJameson
