The fate of Aleksei River.

The fate of Aleksei River.

A letter arrives, accompanied by a box. Agnieszka sees the messenger well-compensated, and for a moment can't believe that the Pass is open again, until she remembers that for Thessilane, the Pass is not a problem. Certainly Aleksei could have written before. Certainly he would have written her once this year, just once --

-- but the letter is not from Aleksei, but from an officer in Burel's army.

Agnieszka cannot breathe as she opens it, alone as she is --

Sera Agnieszka River:

We regret to inform you that Aleksei River perished in an unprovoked military action off the coast of Orvere that claimed civilian lives. As of yet, we have no information as to the perpetrator of this heinous act, but be sure that we share your anguish and your pain on this black day. Ser River was touring the the rebuilt city at the time with a detachment and did his best to defend the innocent, so please be comforted that in his final action he upheld the sanctity of innocent life and the triumph of good in this world.

Sincerely,
Capt. A. Hanan, regional commander, Orvere, Thessilane.


She wasn't going to believe it, not for one second --

-- but in the box that comes with the letter is his sword.
