Ashlynn spent the next two days putting the beginnings of her plans in motion and tending to the human captives.

The young-looking vampire would only be able to carry the letters she'd written as far as Lothian City but once he was there the letters would be handed over to a courier to make their way to Blackwell County.
As much as she wanted to write to her parents or tutors, doing so would jeopardize not only her plans but risked accelerating the timeline for the Lothians to begin their next war against the Eldritch nations. Her immediate goal was to slow things down, not speed them up, so she limited herself to contacting only the people who could help her spoil Owain's upcoming visit to her hometown.
