Preparing for Khemia (Patreon)
Content
Hello, Mother.
In your last message you mentioned wanting me to update you on how I have been doing since being chosen.
Well, I have not been able to sleep these past few nights. The thought that I'll be departing soon for Khemia has me pacing the floor to the point that even Veteris is getting impatient with me. The fact that I'll even be a bystander to witnessing the formation of the alliance is enough to make me want to howl, which of course I will not do. I'm not a pup anymore, and I must stay composed. My maturity was the very reason that I was chosen from amongst my peers to join the negotiation party.
Which now also reminds me that I'll be meeting the Emperor tomorrow, along with the second son of the Pharaoh... The second son! Every time these thoughts cross my mind I feel again that I might irritate my mentor with my excitement. I must try to get some sleep. I do not want to appear haggard in front of my leader.
I hope that you're doing well, Mother, and I hope that the compensation for my mission has reached you. I will be sure to visit you the moment I return from Khemia.
Sending all my love,
Scipio
