Letters of Goodbye

Saphira,

I know you won't be able to respond to this letter, and I don't expect you to. But I know you'd be worried about us. We're all still alive. The guards have been so busy trying to find you that they've left the rest of us alone. Stay safe, do all you can to stay out, even if it means you never come back for us.

Saphira,

I have no way to if you recieved my last letter or if you'll ever get this one. But I think they've given up on finding you. All the guards are back, and it doesn't look like they'll be leaving again. They've been asking if any of us know where you went, as if any of us have ever even been on the outside. Anyway, the reason for this letter is because you need to wait. You can't come back for us as soon as you want to. Wait until the higher ups aren't so agitated, when you'll stand a chance of getting us all out of here alive.

Saphira,

Nowhere is safe anymore. Just getting this letter out may have cost me everything, but you need to know. It's not safe, I know the plan was for you to come back for us, but you can't, not now, probably not ever. Don't beat yourself up about leaving us here, this is our choice and I'm begging you to honour it. Enjoy being free on the outside and forget about us. I'm sorry it has to be this way. Good luck.

Saphira,

By the time this reaches you it'll be too late to save us, so please don't try. Run as far and as fast as you can. They won't stop looking for you, the only chance you have is to become somebody else. You're the only one who ever had hope of seeing the outside, so its fitting that your the one who gets to experience it. Goodbye Saphira, we'll see you again when you join us on the other side.
