Beloved Siblings,

Truthfully I cannot quite hold quill well enough to scribe these letters, nor can I summon the words that could do justice to what I have to tell you. Yet I know that many of you will have felt the sundering that I did; of the link between ourselves and our Lady Latona. This afternoon, as she stood alongside friends, Latona Stoneheart died for the very last time. A ritual backlash hurt her so greatly that not even the sacrifices of her companions could save her.

Earlier this day, she allowed me to aide her in performing the resurrection of other allies who had fallen; and I will never forget the clarity and conviction with which she spoke the words she did. There will ever be tales of her grace, her gentle care, and her mercy. Yet what I remember the most is the strength that she showed me this day, in how certain she was as she spoke the words: my Lady's light will always find me. She is there now, bathed in our Lady's embrace, and I know that she feels no pain and only regrets that she is no longer with us all - to love and to care for us.

I do not think I can say any more, for Latona became as family to me when I had lost all those of my kin - and there are no words for what a child feels when their mother is gone. I will leave it to others to say what they can for her.

Her body rests in the temple in Sellaville. I think she would like it if we gathered and gave her mortal form into the Lady's arms as one.

May the memory of her love and light shine through you all.

Peace be with you all at this time.

Before leaving the temple that sad day the lady asked the few of us here in the Sellaville temple if we would copy certain prayers for the church libraries.

We have just now finished this most solomn of tasks and, as she requested, have made them available for all that wish to use them, either as they are or as inspiration for further praise to our Lady of Mercy.


May our Lady continue to guide and fill our hearts with Compassion and Mercy.
