LETTER FOUR

My Beloved Ethany,

It has now been forty-seven days since I last saw you and the nights seem to get longer and more cold. The wind has a purpose of its own, bitting into flesh and bone without mercy, but I see the wisdom in this location.

Worry not in my sporadic writing, dear. Remember how consumed I can get in my studies and work when the topic is truly fascinating to me?

It is a challenge for me to not share with you what is encompassing my every waking moment and I can not divulge too much, but this much I believe it is safe to say. The Hero of the Gem has chosen each of us for a specific reason. Exciting and scary, I know.
