"As I sit here, pen trembling in my hand, I am flooded with memories of our time together—the enmity I used to hold in my heart for you when I was solely focused on pursuing power like Great Sorcerer Phelan, the laughter we shared, the challenges we faced in the magic forests and in Ashphen, and the quiet moments of understanding that you showed to me. I still think of the first time you saved me, despite my hatred for you, how you looked beyond our enmity and did what you believed was right. For the first time, I felt seen, not just as a sorceress or an ally but as a person worthy of respect and care. You changed me, August, in ways I can hardly express.
