Rising higher

[Anastasia]

"Here," Grias says once you're in your study, "They're on your desk, read up."

Four letters are on your desk, as well as a wrapped scroll.

[Nephrite]

"I see why you wanted me to wait." Moore says.

The scroll is first!

[Anastasia]

The scroll is written in sloppy letters but reads the following:

27.

Hanna.

Hanna grounded me, help.

When you need a key in the future, the answer is that there is no key at all.

[Nephrite]

"You didn't need to tell me you wrote it, 27, I could've figured that part out." Moore says with a smile and a sigh. He puts the scroll off to the side. "I'll go visit you soon."

Moving on to the first of the four letters!

[Anastasia]

This one reads as follows.

Dear Moore

If you wish for me to help your cause, unravel the following mysteries without using magic to augment yourself. Please stop reading here and take several moments to remove any magical items you have and end any spell effects bolstering you. If this is not practical when you read this, come back to it for a time when it is. When you are ready, read the second sheet.

There's a second piece of paper to this letter, tucked away behind the first.

[Nephrite]

Moore pauses for a moment. "I wasn't really expecting to hear back from you..." He murmurs. He puts the letter down and moves on to the actual second letter for the time being.

[Anastasia]

This one reads as follows.

Beloved Moore

I write to hope that you are well and no harm has befallen you. In your chosen work I know danger rides with you as surely as lightning rides with Canderella. I do not write for any great purpose, only to express my affections to you.

Until we meet again.

[Nephrite]

"I do need to work on that mirror..." Moore muses. A small vacation to Lifasa wouldn't hurt after all of this.

He puts that letter off to the side and picks up the third.

[Anastasia]

The third letter reads as follows.

Moore, it's Adrian. I came on a magical flute I think you'd be interested in. If you're interested in studying and possibly buying it, get in contact with me by a sending or through Aurora.

The previous owner was a follower of Malar. Emphasis on was in all respects.

[Nephrite]

Well, now he has a real excuse to visit!

Onto the last letter.

[Anastasia]

Perception.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 70!

[Anastasia]

The last letter is empty - but your keen eyes can spot the slightest discoloration that suggests some sort of invisible ink has been applied.

[Nephrite]

Moore tries holding it up to a window to get some light on it.

If that doesn't work, uhh... he'll think of something!

[Anastasia]

The light of Chronias shines, revealing the letters.

Very good, Moore. You decoded my answers. Send the following message to Tannin: A blue eye tyrant awaits the green dragon.

I'll see you soon.
