Dear Ophelia:
 
        How have you been?  Heard you hung up your duals and traded your armor for a guild uniform.  These past few weeks with the caravan I joined in Val Harbor have been really intense, the hunting has picked up considerably since the days in the seaside village of Moga. Don't get me wrong , I loved it there, but when you are a top ranked hunter in a region things kinda get stale.  So as I said, I took a boat to Val Harbor in Dondurma and joined up with Capital C caravan.  Had to travel light and the thought of a fresh start made me do something i regret.  Left all my gear, Cha Cha and Kayamba back in Moga, grabbed some basic equipment and took off for new lands and new challenges.  I know what your gonna say, "Silly Osa, at least take your armor." Well I am starting to wish I had.  Some of the new creatures I am seeing out here are just too much, even some old familiar faces we haven't seen since Pokke Village.  Speaking of regrets, I still light a candle for Talador once a year on the anniversary of his passing. Don't think I'll ever get over it.  I mean its something you get used to as an occupational hazard right?  But maybe it's cause we were all so close.  Oh they have Kirin in this region I'm told and rumors of a sub species, if you can believe that.  Well i need to get back to work, We are headed to another town to get a ship made for the ocean crossing ahead of us.  I'll write again as soon as I can.
 
Glory to the Hunter.
