Her Mailbox Was Full of Angst, So...
Dear Friends and Heroes,
As exciting as it was to find so many letters in my mailbox this morning, it really broke my heart to see how much the sage's projected dream affected you. I'm sure there are a lot more people out there that were heavily affected too, who just haven't put a pen to paper about it yet.
So, for what it's worth, I don't think less of any one of you. What we saw was based off of what the sage thought we would do if we had a certain degree of knowledge, right? But there are so many other factors that would change a person's behavior than just knowing something, especially if that change in behavior was as severely drastic as it was for some of you. But in the end, it's all just one big fable to warn us of how things could go, it's not a guarantee of what will happen. Tales of caution are nothing new, I could think of at least a hundred I was told growing up about what happens to little girls who forget to blow out the candle, or pick their neighbor's vegetables, or a dozen other ways to ensure I didn't misbehave. When you think about it, this isn't any different.
If you're worried about whether or not I can trust you after this, don't worry. I may not be able to speak for anyone else, but as for myself, I'm proud to know such a kind group of people so dedicated to protecting this world and the people they know. You're the type of people I want to write stories about, because you're inspiring, and brave, and good (even if it's in your own unique way). Sure, maybe a couple of you killed me in that dream, but I can't really take it personally.
Learn from what you saw, but don't dwell on it too much, because it didn't actually happen, and isn't likely to happen either. The future is still your own, and you get to decide your role in the history of this world that's yet to be written. I know you'll all do great things.
Your Friend,
Rialynn K.
