Folks, this is Nerean again. You’re probably wondering where Ikai’s next letter is, and why it’s taking so long. The truth is that we do not know, though we keep trusting in our hearts that our boy is well. Surely, with at least Kyrah knowing where he’s from, we would be told if anything was amiss, and we did not receive any message that would suggest that is the case.
However, we heard rumours that the legendary Ultros, the ship that Ikai mentioned in one of his previous letters, has indeed set sail after having been missing for 500 years. It’s said to have departed from Mythros about a few weeks ago. What is especially surprising is this: The rumours suggest that her captain is a siren.
Now before you take any conclusions from this, I must stress that these are just rumours and might be more hopeful than true. One member of the messenger’s guild, who claimed to have seen the ship’s departure up close, said the captain doesn’t quite match Ikai’s description, being adamant that he saw an adult siren instead.
We keep trying to stay informed by the guild. If Ikai is on board that ship, it stands to reason that he will not often be able to send messages from there. I am sure that once he is able to, we will receive a message shortly.
Who knows, perhaps he will be able to convince the captain to come visit our humble dwellings? One can always hope!
