Katia-
As I write this I am safe from the reach of those who call themselves your friends. I will not reveal details, but with the help of others I was able to escape while on the road from the Monastery to Hearthglen. I have been doubly lucky to have my life today. I believe it was the intention of Falt Greyhaft, the commander of my escorts, to have me killed along the way, likely during a supposed escape attempt. He might have succeeded if not for my rescue. And of course I have you to thank for convincing your lords to spare my life. I know you must have many questions about why I was arrested and eligible for death in the first place. I promise to answer those questions as soon as is practical. For now, I want you to know I am alright. I will write to Mother as well, but if you are able please convey this news to her. I hope you are well, and I will write again as soon as possible.
