Jan. 27th, 2011 05:05 pmDear Alex,
It seems impossible that so much time has passed since I last stepped foot in Milliways or felt your arms around me. The dozens of letters I've written you these past couple of years stay folded neatly in their lock box under my bed, and I am worried that you may never get a chance to read them. Will I ever see you again? Are you still missing me or wondering what became of me? What I wouldn't give to be able to send even a single message to you!
Things here have been tense and strange. Beast came to see me the other day, and told me that I was going to be taking a trip to Tennessee. Can you imagine it? Centuries of never going anywhere beyond where a fifteen minute cab ride could take me, and suddenly they are sending me more than eight hundred miles away. What's even more amazing is that I'm being sent to learn combat skills! Fabletown is officially at war with the Adversary, though no fighting has begun yet. It's believed that the Adversary is planning and preparing to invade the Mundy and it's up to us to stop them! I'll be leaving within a week's time for commando camp, and don't know if I will be able to write to you while I am away. Not that you would know the difference, since none of the letters I've written have a chance of finding you until I find a doorway back. If I find a doorway back.
Imagine me, learning to use guns and explosives and hand to hand fighting! I thought I was through with that sort of thing after our time in that snowy nightmare with Makita. I'm trying hard to be brave, but knowing that every able-bodied person in Fabletown, and many at the farm are being intensively trained for war is frightening.
I don't know if and when the battle will come, but it is my duty as a citizen of Fabletown and a former queen of a Homeland realm to do what I can to stop the tyranny of the Adversary. I don't expect to ever see my former home again, but if I can do anything to help other see theirs, I have to do what I can.
As always, I think of you every day. I pray you're safe and healthy.
Love always,
Rapunzel
