My dearest Alnoncetta,
I lost your letter and must start anew! I could never have enough words to convey the stories I have for you. My horrid little buggy broke down the day of yester and I have upgraded to a rocket ship. Have you heard of such things? A strange little green fellow gave it to me. He was most impolite, I shudder as a write this, he kept fluffing with every word he let loose from his disturbingly large mouth. Being the proper young lady that I am, my poise stayed intact and I smiled oh so sweetly. The stars above could not have matched the twinkling mirth trying to bubble out of my eyes. I so wanted to laugh! Needless to say, I am ever so glad I did not allow the noise to spring forth, lest I had offended my benefactor. I do adore my spaceship. If it breaks down on my way to Oregantha, I will grab my suitcase and skip the rest of the way there. Moscovia has proved cold and very inhospitable Were that Jimina was here, she would be reveling in the bite of the bitter winter air. I, alas, do not.
But my darling sister do not worry of me! Oh let me tell you of the things to come! Sit down I say and read this letter with joy in your heart. I am to be reunited with our darling parents! Our two youngest siblings remain at home and they can not with hold their squeal of utter delight when they heard of my visitation. I plan on staying for a long period of time. Another castle I shall build! Ambrana has come so far in her princess schooling that I am delighted to report she will be joining me. I promised Jimina a much smaller closet to reside in and she too is pondering the idea of living next to the misty ocean! I will be in good company amongst kin and friends alike. I leave before the next moon. You can hardly guess my excitement!
Now I have heard a most disturbing rumor of you. One of my spies whispered the most discomfiting thing in my ear as I sat on my throne today. I was about to dole out punishment to a disobedient serf when the words stopped me short. Did the spy speak the truth? Have you truly gone native?! I wont disclose who saw the horrifying scene of you screaming and charging down a poor hapless seal with a gigantic spear. Upon my word, I forgot who I was even punishing when I learned the news! No doubt you ran down the poor baby creature in a skirt. This is such ghastly behavior and yet I yearn to know more. Tell me of you exploits and then go sit on an ice flow and think of what you have done!
I must go sit near the fire and warm the icicles that I so desire to call fingers some time soon!
May the icy waters slow you down.
You sister
Queen Chaltreste the Very First
