1Hello, Elaine.

I sincerely apologize for my slow response, I was in a Luz de Bian prison. I have failed you; as the Prophet of Qyrvagg, it is my responsibility to look after my Arch Priests.

2Elaine, you may not believe this, but I too have lost love. 3I too know the pangs of knowing that you will never be with the one you love again. Yes, it was different from what you are going through, but it was similar too.

4Of all the things you should not do, leave the Church is first and foremost. 5Now is when you need the Church the most! When life seems to be breaking down around you, when all seems to be lost, come, just as you are, to the Altar of Qyrvagg. 6There let the Amekanun flow through you, find peace and contentment in the raging fire of Qyrvagg, let the hot spirit of the Amekanun course through your veins.

7Then lift your blade know that you are Elaine, Arch Priestess of Cagamir by the Power of Qyrvagg and the Amekanun which flows through the Prophets, and which flows from you to the people of Cagamir. 8There is strength in you Elaine, use it! 9I do not know if Qyrvagg has sent this as a test or not, I cannot say. 10But weather he has or not, this is a time to show who you are. In conflict we are refined, Elaine my friend, in conflict we are refined. 11This does not ONLY mean battle, Elaine! That is the false teaching of Yggdrasili to believe that conflict always means battle and war. 12No, even more importantly, conflict is internal. We are refined through internal turmoil, and we come out stronger because WE ARE THE HOLY HOST OF QYRVAGG. You and I, the whole Church, we are one, and we are all seperate. 13Made strong individually through collective strength, through the virtues of battle.

14Loyalty to the Church and to yourself Elaine, that is first. It is a small and easy virtue, one that is entirely of action, not thought. But it is the root of the others. Loyalty.

15Courage of the mind and heart, Elaine, that is second. Because you are loyal to the Church and to your own heart, be brave and take heart! Courageously stand up to these troubles! 16The Church stands with you! I satdn with you! The Amekanun stands with you!

17Honor comes from this courage, ELaine. Because you will be courageous, you will find yourself defending that which is honorable. Courage is honor when directed truly, 18and it is directed truly always when in service to the Church and the Amekanun.

19Strength comes from all of this, and aids all of this. When you ahve found yourself honorable because of your courage, then you have discovered the strength which you have always had.

20And when you are strong, you will find that you again are ready to stand in obedience with the rest of the Church ot the will of Qyrvagg. And when you are with us, we have fellowship.

21Take heart, Arch Priestess Elaine. Take heart and stay the true path of the Amekanun. I shall pray for you.
