Fitzgerald's Letter No. 2
My Dearest Friend,
It has been three days since I arrived in Baghead and I must say that the village is rather peculiar. When we arrived, we found the village to be like a fortress; surrounded by a huge wall with only one gate entrance. As we entered the village, we saw the villagers wearing burlap sacks around their heads. Any attempts to approach them was unsuccessful as they would flee from us, with some even violently lashing out at us like wild dogs. Sister Elsie almost had her head smashed when one of the villagers swung a pitchfork at her. Thankfully, we managed to speak with the village Head. He told us that these rather strange conditions was their method of prevention as they were afraid of the upcoming beast plague. He also explained that the villagers' reluctance to interact with us was due to the fact that we were outsiders. Corbin Baucom, one of the White Church priests, was able to convince the Head to allow us to treat the villagers through blood ministration as a way to prevent the beast plague from spreading.
On the first day, we only managed to minister blood to a small number of villagers. Fortunately, through those treated villagers, we were able convince the other villagers as on the second day, we had a more villagers requesting for the blood ministration. Today, almost every villager was requesting for it. I believe I have found my calling and I can actually help them more against the beast plague than what I could have as a Hunter.
I will write to you more on our progress. Perhaps we have found a way to prevent the beast plague from spreading.
Very Truly Yours,
Fitzgerald
