УThere,Ф she whispered and held the paper up to the lamp. It was a
letter to her superior, Prioress Saeja.

Honored Sister:

In this time of great doubt, I wish I had better news. Our dear
Sister, Morima-sum, shows little sign of improvement since I last
put brush to paper. She has times when her crises seems to be
passing, but the scrolls of the Brothers haunt her dreams still. We
do not give up hope, Sister. We do not give up hope.

The young Acolyte who accompanied Morima-sum has not fared
well. It pains me to report that she left us three days ago. This was
a tragedy, certainly, but nothing compared to the loss of a Sister
ofMorimaТs abilities. Our young Acolyte had her own faith shaken

would affect our own efforts, my heart grows heavy. We always
hope calamity will not overtake us in this lifetime, rather like children
trying to avoid difficult lessons. But they must be learned: if not
now, later.

Jaku Katta arrived today. It will be difficult to place someone close
to him, but be assured our efforts will be tireless. We have a
trusted friend close to the Lady Nishima, however, and will certainly
know if she continues to correspond with the EmperorТs guard
commander.

At this time Lord ShontoТs daughter seeks her companionship with
the Ladies Kitsura Omawara and Okara Haroshu, although the
Shonto Spiritual Advisor is also one of her regular
visitorsЧoccasionally staying in her rooms later than could be
considered strictly proper: I know no more at this time.

There have been no cases of plague reported in Seh for several
months now, for which we may thank the Botahist Brothers even if
