From: Prince Whelan of the Realm of Waters
To: High Prince Altair
Altair,
It was so lovely to have you as a guest for our autumn festivities. It mean so much to mother and father.
It meant so much to me.
Altair, you may never speak to me again, but I feel I must be honest with you. I know that the ruler of the Realm of Night and all of Avalon must marry someone of the Realm of Night when the time comes, but Altair, I love you.
I think I’ve loved you since the moment you blushed after stepping on my foot on Feast Day all those Moons ago.
Every time we are together, I fight myself not to reach out to touch your arm, and dancing with you at the autumn concert was almost too much for me.
This may seem sudden, but love has always come hard and fast for Water Elves. I don’t know what you will say reading this. I think you feel the same way, but I could not wait any longer to tell you.
I hope I’ll hear from you soon,
Whelan
