Silverhand,

   Tis good to know that you are well. I wish you well in your
conversation with the trees. Yes we knew each other many years ago, but
as times change so do people. When we last met I was a young man with a
desire to learn as you said "what he will, where he will, in his own
way" Well since our last meet I have changed in many ways. Most
importantly, the lesson of patience in people. Which with children you
either learn it or go insane. I am partially insane and alot more
patient. I take all lessons with open ears and the desire to learn. In
just the few months since my return, my ability has improved greatly. I
look forward to seeing you and telling a few stories of my own.

Until we met again Silverhand,

Chrestien Brule

Nik is so familiar with the "stern talking to."  Yes, I am alive.  I have also relocated my 'manse' to the very edge of our fair Barony and Kingdom, within a stone's throw of the river.  I got it from an old druid that the trees could be our allies. I have spent these past few years in a study of this science, in the hopes that the trees might actually provide us a barrier against future incursions, actively come to our aid or, at least - if I could learn their speech, or teach them ours - we might get advance warning of movements under their canopy.  As you can imagine, trees do not live on the same time table as we brief humans do, so this is a process requiring great patience on my part (another useful thing for me to learn!), and I cannot guarantee that there will be results in my lifetime.  But I do not hoard my old armor or weapons.  I have

> Excellency, I do not think Your young Captain requires my service... I knew this lad once; he has a passably long head and knows it.  He learns what he will, where he will, in his own way.  If he has survived to this point, I expect he has learned enough to be of good use to You, and I am certain that he has the scars to prove that every lesson was learned the hard way.  However, as it is my pleasure to serve, and my duty to advise, I would never hold anything back when I thought that it could be of benefit.
> It is hard to pull myself away from the trees when I feel so close to understanding, but I will try to make the journey into the heart of the Barony, and attend You at a fighter practice soon; I understand that we have many new people who are anxious to learn and help defend our dear lands, and this speaks very highly of the leadership, example, and true nobility of You both.

> I will attest, young Captain, that the Silverhand doth exist.  I spent time with him last Friday as we celebrated the birthday  of a family member. True it has been so long since he has appeared that his fame has faded into the mists and he is only spoken of in hushed whispers around the camp fire.  The Bards still speak of a Spanish knife fight in which he altered time and space itself.  Perhaps he has chosen the hermit's life because he has become frail and fragile in his dotage, but as one of the blessed few that still catches glimpses as he flits in and out amonst the trees ( talking to them and petting them lovingly). I assure you that he does still exist.  AmberLea
