Death Song

Dear Mom,

I'm writing this just before we head off to Nuro. I'm sort of scared. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it. I also know I've been in danger several times before, but I have a bad feeling about this mission.

I remember those old stories Dad told about the Dead War that occurred centuries ago. Those used to scare the hell out of me. I was usually thankful when you told him to stop telling me and Mallack about it.

Still he always said that he told those stories so that we could better appreciate the relatively "safe" time we live in now even if it isn't perfect. I'd hate to think that he was wrong about that, because I certainly wouldn't want to live during the years of the Great Lich Lord's reign of terror.

I've been told that this "outbreak" is still small enough to be contained and eliminated, but that doesn't make me feel any better.

Nuro is a place of strong magic! If they couldn't handle this problem, how are we going to be able to? What manner of undead are going to face us? What of the evil wizards that caused this in the first place? As far as my company goes, the only really powerful one we have is Wessel. I hope they aren't just sending us, or that we'll at least have much more magical back up by the time we arrive there.

I've been trying to not worry about this, but this doesn't feel right. In my heart it doesn't feel right. I just hope and pray to all the gods that I survive this.

Give my love to the rest of the family.

Your son
