[Mallory Ventrue]

---

Mallory sat in the quiet of the rooftop garden of Gailan's home and closed her eyes and let the sun warm her. The weather was changing and getting cooler and the leaves were turning beautiful shades of orange and red. Gailan would be returning soon, and they had some plans to finish for their upcoming wedding. Before he returned, Mallory decided to pen a few letters so she desended downstairs to Gailan's study area where she pulled out a piece of parchment and began to write...


Dear Leshok and Lady Labelle,

My friends, how odd it is to write to you and not just come and talk to you over a cup of tea. I trust that this letter will find you both well and in good spirits. As for myself, I cannot complain, and my letter will reveal why this is.
I am writing because I have some very happy news to share with you both. I am to be wed very soon to a man that I love with all of my heart. His name is Gailan Ventrue and he is everything I prayed I would find. He is very devout to the Virtues, lieutenant commander of the Kingdom of Sanctus and I am honored that he has chosen me to be his wife. I could go on and on, but I would rather that you meet him for yourselves.
Thus, the reason for my letter. I am writing to ask if you would be able to attend? I know that the distance is great, but I would be very honored if you would consider it. I will send word of course, when the date is finally decided upon. I also know that this is a difficult season to travel in, so if you are unable to attend, I understand.
I was recently at a meeting of the Royal Court of Luna, and there was a gentleman there by the name of Nick, and he asked about you both. I told him I would send word to you of his inquiry. Before I end this letter, I pray that the Virtues guide you both and bless you as they have blessed me.

In Virtue and Loving Friendship,
Mallory Rowdep


She sprinkled some fine dust across the ink and allowed it to dry. She placed a small violet in the letter and then sealed the letter with a bit of wax. She then called to her dove and with a soft prayer she sent the letter off to her friends.

Leshok looked over the letter and took a deep sigh and smiled a bit, young Mallory getting married.

"I hope this love lasts her this time." Leshok said to himself and he tapped his chin. He looked out his window at the fields and sighed knowing the season would not permit his attendance to the wedding. He pulled a parchment from his desk and began to write to his old friend.

Dearest Mallory,

It is good to hear from you my old friend. Marriage is a grand thing and I wish you the most fortituitous of days for your future. The Lady LaBelle forwards her confidence that your nuptial be one of concordant perseverance and eternal Elysium. Unfortunetly, due to the current season and how much work we have to do on the fields to prepare for winter, we won't be able to make the journey to your wedding.

I am sure it will be a wonderfull wedding and I truely will miss not being able to be there. It does me good to see your letter, you've obviously grown as a woman and in your spirituallity. I feel then your ready for what I feel is the final lesson of a paladin, a truth if you will. Remember always what the virtues really are, I constantly see people praying to the virtues or saying "virtues guide me". The virtues however are not an entity to pray to or even a force which guides us. The virtues are in our hearts and are simply a set of examples on how we should live our lives. To sum, the virtues do not guide us, we guide ourselves to follow the example of virtue. Virtue doesn't grant us power, but we empower ourselves by being one with the virtues. Paladin's don't hold the monopoly on Virtue either, I have seen more compassion in a fathers eyes in one moment than I have seen from several paladins in my time.

Paladin is not a title, it is what you are, you are born with the capacity of good within you. Remember when we pray, we pray more so to ourselves than any abstract or divine power. I have learned this about the world an power. While evil gains its power from other sources to try and conquer with aid beyond human limits. We, the virtuous instead gain our strength, our power, from within ourselves, by following the example of the virtues, we empower and strengthen our souls, and that is where we gain our strength. Remember that always, your strength comes from within and our desire to do good the world and our responsibility is to use that responsibly. Your faith belongs within yourself and those you surround yourself with.

Remember this for it will help you in live, love, marriage and all things. All things you are capable of doing are within yourself, trust, love, forgiveness, sacrifice, which is what you will need to be able to maintain a healthy marriage. Be well my sister, I am proud of you.

- With Love,
Leshok and LaBelle Majere
