Hello Again.

I hope this letter finds you in good spirits, for it has been too long since our last exchange. Time has passed, and I must admit that my feelings have evolved during this period of separation. I now understand that harboring ill will serves no purpose, and it is not in my nature to wish harm upon anyone, even if we may have been at odds before.

Instead of seeking retribution, I have found solace in the pursuit of storytelling and creating a world that captivates the hearts and minds of others. Like you, I am not one to sing or perform on grand stages, but I have discovered my passion lies in weaving tales of heroes and villains. The Adventurer's Guild has become a canvas for me to breathe life into characters that will fill this continent with excitement and wonder.

As I craft this intricate tapestry, I must admit that I've also explored the realm of antagonists. I've introduced subtle seeds of dissent, hoping to challenge the heroes and create a balance between light and darkness. My intentions are not to incite chaos, but rather to test the mettle of those who stand for justice and goodness.

In the upcoming days, I believe these actions will culminate in a spectacle of grand proportions. Heroes and demons will clash, and the land of Meranthe will bear witness to a battle of epic proportions. I hope that this confrontation will be a worthy tale that sparks intrigue and wonder among all who behold it.

My hope is that you, too, will witness this climactic event. Your presence, even from beyond the veiled realms, would be an honor and a blessing. I seek not to prove myself, but to share the passion I have for storytelling and to remind myself of the richness of the world beyond my own.

Mestra, I no longer desire your disdain or vengeance. Instead, I hope that you will see me for the person I am, one who yearns for acceptance and recognition. I may not bear the same vibrant traits as my sister, Ceres, but I shine in my own way.

So, as the story unfolds, I extend an invitation to witness its crescendo. I believe in my heart that Mestra shall sing the song of Altair, the Jester, and through that, we may find an understanding, a connection, that transcends our differences.

I eagerly await your reply, old friend.

I hope that our paths may intersect once more.

(I'd be very sad if they didn't.)

And I think Ceres would bully me for it.

With sincere regards,

Altair

Here I am again,

I trust this letter finds you well. It's been quite the whirlwind of events since we last spoke, and I felt compelled to share some of the thoughts and ideas that have been swirling within me. I find solace in these written words, a chance to organize my mind amidst the chaos that often engulfs the world.

The stories you once spun for me, those tales of valor and heroism, have taken on a new meaning in my life. The tales of heroes and adventurers, of those who stood against darkness and uncertainty. As I journey through these stories, I can't help but see glimmers of myself within their lines – someone lurking in the periphery, the one who has always been ready to offer support and guidance from the shadows.

Yet, lately I've have taken on a new meaning. I've come to realize that there's a part of me yearning to rise beyond the sidelines, to step into the light and embrace a role that's more than just an observer.

Recent events have pushed me to consider my potential under a different glow, to question whether I could be more than the sum of my past deeds, or the past generations. Someone thought I was him the other day, and it hurt knowing he'd even be friends with someone like that.

I found myself in a situation where a life hung in the balance. Without hesitation, I stepped forward and took action. I saved a life, and in that moment, the distinction between hero and villain seemed to blur. It was as if my purpose became clearer. Like a dramatic twist near the climax! I couldn't believe myself, and to see the others alongside me...

It gave me hope. We won't be the sequels to our father's life. We'll be something different, better even. A spin-off, do you like the sound of that? An entirely new perspective, fresh ideas, and the potential for so much more! It'll be great, I promise. Just get your popcorn out and relax.

After all, this is all for you. My life is a performance in the end. All I seek to do is entertain, and you're the only one fit to see it all. Knowing you're pleased by my story is enough for me. Just remember to sing my story when you can.

Let me know what you think.

Keep watching in the meantime.

(Unless you're watching Ceres!)

But I heard you guys are on bad terms so I'll stay out of it!

Best Wishes,

Altair
