The Last Letter

Dear Mother, The Bozjans say that an Alkonost casts no shadow until it kills a man and claims his as its own. I am writing to you from the Black Shroud, where I have found one and enlisted her help in the defense of Dalmasca. There are whispers from Bozja that the Dalriada and the IVth Imperial Legion will arrive soon, and tomorrow I will begin preparations to return to Rabanastre. It will be good to see you again before the fighting starts. Love as always, Bear.
