Dearest Labyrinthite,

Let me share with you a secret.

As an artist, all I need is a good memory to inform others of what you look like. Even if I had no camera in hand to share with all the world the face of a would-be murderer, my charcoal pencils will serve me just as well. I think you'll quite enjoy how I capture your likeness.

[[Attached is a small sketch of Labyrinthite's figure, and while the face is not evident beyond the hood, the rest of the outfit maintains an accurate grayscale likeness with added movement implicative of wind.]]

I learned recently that we have a shared acquaintance by the name of Hvergelmir. She informs me that you are indeed a volatile one, and that you two share some 'future' history. She explained that you were the one to have extracted her tongue at some point in the future, and afterward attempt her murder as well. It seems you had quite the reputation for violence in those days - as a General-King, no less. Congratulations to you - if you live to see it. I expect there are others out there who won't be so keen on your lethal escapades.

I wonder just how you might come to realize that 'future'. Do you aspire to it, Labyrinthite? Do you think to yourself how you might reach that lofty title? Do you ever think that, perhaps, the opposite may come to pass? That the Negaverse starts to slip, that you yourself are cast out of favor among the ranks? Or do you choose not to think about the future at all? I imagine you are more interested in dwelling on the past. What say you, Labyrinthite? Which concerns you most?

Perhaps someday we will meet again and you can give me that ultimatum. Which would please you more - to kill me or to corrupt me? I imagine you'd miss my letters, in either case.

Think about me often, dearest Labyrinthite.

Yours,
Scholomance

Hello again, Labyrinthite.

I hope you didn't miss me during my silence. I imagine you didn't.

I've been thinking about the purpose of your attack, and I think there's more behind it than just random encounter. But how could that be? Surely a big bad Negaverse general has more to do than hunt down a simple squire - and to this, I agree. There must be.

There must be a greater agenda behind it.

And, interestingly, I am starting to uncover the truth. I have a squire friend that was similarly attacked some time ago - twice, no less. Don't ask me how he's alive, else I will speculate that the Negaverse needs to work on its efficiency. But, interestingly, that squire was attacked twice by two different generals and for different reasons. The first time was by one General Umber, who fought him and tormented his friend for information on one of your own captains - Ashanite. Curious, isn't it? Why not simply go to the captain and ask himself? I'll add in some extra information for you: Ashanite was not originally an agent of the Negaverse. He was once a knight, a Saturn knight like myself - and like my squire friend. In fact, he knew my squire friend before he corrupted. Does that not make it more fascinating?

Let me add the second attack for you, then. One General Xenotime attacked my squire friend not long before you found me, and left him in a sorry state. She did so to corrupt him for Captain Ashanite, actually - this was her stated reasoning. Most interestingly, Ashanite was the one who stopped her from doing so. Ashanite protected my squire friend, which is probably the sole reason he's alive today. Now isn't that odd? It sounds like unrest among the Negaverse to me.

Like a dissenting little soldier.

Let me remind you of a last factoid in which you can stew, my friend. Ashanite took me to the hospital shortly after you attacked me. And given that I was meeting him there... It's too convenient, isn't it?

I wonder, Labyrinthite. Are you three generals following Ashanite, keeping tabs on his acquaintances, because a captain threatens to slip from your grasp with the secrets of the Negaverse? Are you worried that we may learn from him of Metallia's location? Of the source of the Negaverse?

Do you fear, Labyrinthite?

Yours,
Scholomance

Ashanite,

You may recall that last I wrote you, I was very nearly murdered.

It has been some weeks since then. Recovery and immobility afford a lot of time for thought - for commiseration, as it were, with Mont Blonc. He had a few curious things to say about you, and about the experiences he had regarding you. Allow me to explain:

  • Mont Blonc told me that he was first attacked by a general called Umber, who asked after you in interrogative measures. Via threatening Mont Blonc and I's shared associate, he aimed to learn more of you as a knight. He asked Mont Blonc instead of asking you. Doesn't that disclose a level of distrust for you, Ashanite? Perhaps. Might I remind you that, whatever his end goal may have been, Umber took Mont Blonc's starseed for a time. Rest assured that it's in its rightful place now.

  • Mont Blonc was next attacked by a General Xenotime, which I'm sure you recall quite clearly - you were there, after all. I needn't recap the reasoning behind this attack to you, nor should I have to point out exactly who stopped Xenotime from corrupting Mont Blonc.

  • Mont Blonc was also present on the train that the Negaverse so gracefully commandeered (which, by the way, I still think the lot of you are stupid for going about it in that fashion - are you trying to prove the moniker of terrorist?). He said he took a shot for you, and then you carried him off the train. How kind. Did you send him flowers after the fact? I hope so, and for reasons I will get to soon.

  • You are well aware that General Labyrinthite attacked me on my birthday, left me crippled since, and that you took me to the hospital in the aftermath. You specifically did not stay to learn my identity.


You are too kind, Ashanite, for all these kind deeds you have done. You are too kind for rescuing such careless squires from the jaws of death. You are too kind for respecting our identities before they inevitably drop. You are too kind for assisting us despite our diametrically opposed factions.

And here's why:

These events were all organized. While the train incident might have involved an element of chance, and perhaps that was where these subsequent events stemmed from, each event concerns you in particular and is resolved, in some way, by you. On most occasions, you're the one to stand in for the cleanup directly. For example, with Xenotime, the pair of you prearranged her seeking out and attacking Mont Blonc and you were to come by for the rescue later. With myself, you already had my letter and appointed time - it only took contacting Labyrinthite with that information to make a sweep and find me. You took a gamble on guessing that I would come to you for assistance afterward, but it paid off too your liking. And with Mont Blonc's brush with Umber, I expect that you were to show up a little later in the performance, but your kind general got antsy with an eternal there.

But why organize all of this? Why bother painting yourself the savior? Why waste all these resources on attacking and saving knights? Why, particularly, Saturn knights?

Rest assured, dear Ploutonion, I will find out.

- ♄
