Private Letters to a Friend

[Aerik Lechner]

To: Irina Jesart

Wait… you've been my dad's apprentice for five years and you don't know? Prazutis killed my mom and bound her to a Nocna Mora. The Empress brought her back and bound her to my father instead.

Why do you think I am what I am… I'm not just a wolf… and it's partly why… I'm… hesitant. I still don't know everything about what I am.

I'm his apprentice, the only things he tells me are the things I need to know to emforce his will.

Aerik...why would you bow to a man that would do that to you mother?

I am a wolf.

Proximity and patience create opportunity.

Aerik, that's insanity.

A wolf hunts better in a pack than it does alone. Don't be so stupid.

I need to talk to your father. I'll reach out when we break atmosphere.

Stay safe.
