Aevel and Eura,

  I write these words because the hope of your return has all but faded. Even I have been forced to accept the bitter truth—that you may have fallen in your final trial, as the Arahal realm crumbled into ruin two years ago.

  Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

  But believe this, my last Fiddari apprentices.

  I know in my heart that both of you are still alive. I know you two will find your way back, and when you do, this book will be here, waiting.

  So, let it guide your path when you return—for the galaxy you once knew exists no more.
