Most of it was a haze.
For most hours of the day she was but a shell, some times more lively and cheery then others, but still but a shadow of her former self - of which one that constituted as her true self was hard to say. This one, at least only lived to smile and to forget.
Sometimes she would look at herself in the mirror and she would scarce that there was a reflections. Sometimes she would look upon it and see herself as Lady Sage Estratus. And there were but a spare few moments where she was once again Beatrix Amaranthe, scientist, part of the Council of Sciences. She remembered her mission and everything she stood for. She could be that woman at least for a little bit, and it was even easier to be that in writing.
Beatrix was not up to dealing with other people, and so instead from the confines of her room she drafted a letter. She sat herself at her desk with ink bottle and quill, writing a letter in the efficient and elegant scrawl a lady was supposed to have. Letters were supposed to be poetry in of themselves.
To Counselor Sir Simon Rockwell,
I write you this letter from the Fellowship Headquarters in Shyregoad, though I feel I scarcely know where to begin. I suppose I write this to you as an informal report as my going ons as pertaining to the Council of Sciences. I am currently acting as a body double to Lady Sage Estratus, Adviser to the Fellowship of Mages, because of the attacks made upon her life by the Obscuvians. I was approached by her Plague and personal bodyguard while I was in Colwe on business matters. I feel that as the Fellowship is an ally of ours and that they strive towards the same cause as us that we should be working together against that crazed group. As it stands I am still here, and I feel that with what has happened with the Troupe of Panynium that these efforts are especially important. I am... not sure if you need a formal report on what exactly happened at the performance so I will not elaborate on that gruesome event if I do not need to, for am I sure it already come to your attention. I will also inquire as to what you think of my proposition? I am not sure if you have read it or not, as I'm sure you're secretary as many papers to sift through. Regardless, I have also put one in with my file as well as submitting it through the normal regulations. I feel it may facilitate our work as well as put off some of the possible... hassle, Mr. Rockwell. I am not sure if the issue has been brought to your attention before hand, but I am doing so because I value the work the Council does, as do the citizens of Panymium, as well as how we go about it. I will cut my letter short here as I'm sure you have many other letters to tend to. I hope to correspond with in the near future.
Sincerely,
Beatrix Amaranthe
With the resources of the Fellowship at her disposal it wasn't difficult to shove the letter into the hands of a messenger who was going to Imisus. Perhaps it was a silly thing to write this letter, but she felt altogether once writing it. Simply trying to forget by force proved hard, but writing it all down somehow managed to put her at ease. The Beatrix Amaranthe that was strong and self-confident could thrive with these letters, rather then be smothered by the suffering of the others. Without it, she would continue to spiral until she was nothing at all.
