Father,
I am sorry it has been so long since I last sent word home, but things in life have become hectic for me, and much has happened. I will try to keep this letter short, as I am writing it in the Company I joined's archives between my studies into cryptology for my duties as part of their strategical division. The Company I joined, the Harbingers of the Dawn, is a group of good people, with some of the same goals that I have found myself seeking. With time I hope to find a family among them, but only time will tell.
Since joining I've met alot of people, and heard many stories and things. I still haven't told anyone about who I am, or anything about you, just like you asked. My training with the sword is progressing at a decent rate, I suppose, and I'm at least good enough now to hold my own against my sparring partners, and have been offered by another new member of the company to train with him as well, and I can hopefully hone my skills some more. There was an...incident of sorts in which I had to use the skills that you taught me, but it was with someone outside of the Company, and I am pretty sure my secret is safe, as I didn't give full details of how I fought him when I made my report to the Company archives. I was a bit out of practice though, and the man got in a few hits, even catching my fist; so, I have decided to train some in private with it, to keep myself honed, in case it comes to using my skills.
As for the people of the company, I have met many interesting people, but if I were to list them all then it would surely be more a novel than a letter I was sending to you, so I'll list but a few. There is the leader of my division, a girl by the name of Edda Vincents, and I know very little of her yet, aside from the rough edge she shows to the majority of the Company. During my interview, she was not as probing as I had expected, surprisingly, and my skills seemed adequate enough to her to give me a place among her men. The lieutenant, Eilk, however, is an odd man. Since my induction into the division, he has taken to giving me near-nightly lessons on various things, mostly involving conversations he overhears me having, but he seemed confident I was close to being ready for my first assignment. I've also met the Company chef, Lucifer, who originally offered me a spot as his assistant, if only he knew about the last time I tried to cook, eh? Haha. Does the tent still have burn marks from that? I figure it does.
I see my letter is getting quite long already, and I should begin wrapping it up, but there is one more person  I wanted to mention this letter. Her name is Anadl, and she is a member of the Company's martial branch. She's a lovely girl, and I must admit I've taken quite the liking to her. The man I had the incident with was her brother, and also the man who tortured her and caused her to lose both her legs, her eye, and her hand. I won't go int depth on the events that led to him being capable of doing these things to such a lovely girl, but I will tell you that I plan to help her in any way I can. Despite the harsh things that she's told me have happened to her in life, she is remarkable, and you would like her father. I know you're likely wondering why I am mentioning so much about her, or perhaps not, after twenty-one years of raising me, I think you know better than even I when my eye has been caught. But, I digress again; the reason I want you to know so much about her father, is because she is Garlean... I know you're likely trying to think of a way to knock me senseless from where you are, but know that I have kept your teachings in my mind. But, I still trust her, I can't explain why, but I do, father. I've offered her my assistance in something that I won't mention here, and I'll do my best to keep you updated in the future.Â
Anyroads, I miss you father. I know you're not sentimental, but I am. I hope things go well in the cave, and that the other refugees are doing well.Â
With love,
Alec
