Selena taps her face, thinking. "I expect she'd be studying at the Grand Academy, which has a Teleportation Sigil--a Sigil that I know the sequence of. I suppose we could make a detour; teleport there, question Trite, teleport back to deal with the real threat. I can take you there tomorrow morning, give you some time to prepare. Is that acceptable?"

"That works for me," Daos answers.

"That also works for me," Caelynn says.

"It seems we're all in agreement," Selena says as she steps away from the King. "Now, Caelynn? You said you had something for me?"

Caelynn walks up to Selena, and hands her the letter. "We found some people that were attacked by bandits that were on their way to deliver this letter to you. I said I would take it the rest of the way. I didn't recognize the seal though," she says softly.

"It's evidently from a woman named Mia Nalcott," Daos adds.

"Mia Nalcott? I've never heard of her," the King says.
"Yeah, neither had we," Meine remarks.
"She's a stranger to me, as well," Selena says, breaking the seal. As soon as she glances at the letter, she freezes, a shocked expression on her face.

After several breaths of silence, Daos finally clears his throat. "Is something the matter?" he ventures.

Caelynn looks up to Selena curiously upon seeing her expression. "Is something wrong?" she asks.

"Yeah, I've never seen you so shocked," Meine says, a little concerned. Selena remains silent. "What is it, Miss Serpentine? What's this 'Nalcott' said that's got you speechless?" the King demands. She wordlessly turns the letter around. It appears to be written entirely in Draconic. Caelynn's knowledge of the language isn't helpful--the script is Draconic, but the letters don't go together to make anything vaguely resembling words.

"I am unable to read any of that," Daos remarks.

"It wouldn't matter if you could read it or not," Caelynn says. "I know the language, but it doesn't make any sense," she says. "So, maybe it is written in code?"

Selena stares at the paper for a few more seconds. "...perhaps," she finally says. "If so, Caelynn may be able to decode it." Selena hands the letter to her and says, "Anything else we need to speak of?"

"Why did you appear so shocked, though?" Daos wonders. "But no, I think that covers everything."

Caelynn takes the letter back, and looks it over again. She wasn't sure if she could decode it or not, but it looked like it became her job. "Uh, I don't think there is anything else."
