“Yes, they moved her late last night to the pits where I’m assuming she will remain until Ascara and Queen Avile decide her fate.”

“The pits?”

“Yes, beneath this grand rocks hell is alive and well it is dark, damp, and inhabitable only the most dangerous of criminals are house there.”

“Are they given food and drink?”

“Yes, in fact it is my turn to deliver such you are more than welcomed to occupancy me and see for self.”

“I will.”

“I’ll meet you in the main corridor right before the sun sets beyond the horizon, “Tina nodded her head in agreement as she popped a few grapes into her mouth, “You spoke of her fate?”

“More than likely she will placed on trial and judged for her crimes against humanity.”

“You believe she came her to die?”

“Who knows one less Jennicus follower in the world if you ask me her death would serve us best, “she says smiling. Tina had a strange feeling her smile had nothing to do with Adeles impending fate.

“You smile to what purpose?”

“Today was the first day I was able to send a letter to Shane addressed to Natticulus.”

“A letter? Mail was sent when!?” She says trying to conceal her disappointment as she was not aware and hoped to send Bette the same.

“Late yesterday evening, “she says seeing the immediate disappointment on her face.

“I was not aware, “she says looking down at her plate tearing her bread apart then placing it in her mouth.

“Do not worry there will be other opportunities.”

“Can I ask a question?”

“Of course.”

“If mail departed would that also imply it was received as well?”

“Yes.”

“How would I know if I received a letter?”

“Mail here is delivered directly to your chamber rather to the——-, “before Molly could finish her sentence Tina rose from her seat abruptly running towards the main doors.

“Tina where are you going? Your food!?”

“To my chambers, “she yells, “To see if I received word from my wife!”

“The necklace upon your neck is beautiful!”

“Gratitude, “she yells back before exiting through the doors. Running as if her life depended on it she crossed the main corridor then down the hall leading to her chamber. Seeing her door in sight she suddenly slows her pace eventually forcing herself to walk. From what she could see the lock on her door had not been placed. Finally reaching her door she grabs the knob turning it slowly walking inside she glances around nothing had been moved or touched. Her heartbeat frantically against her chest as she looked down on her bed, there lying at the very end near her folded blanket was a letter. Picking up the letter her hand trembled with anticipation as she took a seat on the edge of the bed. Staring down at the letter she looked at her name written on the outside in perfect calligraphy. Flipping the letter over she removed the Natticulus wax seal that kept the letter enclosed. Similar to the letter she received before she raised it to her nose and inhaled what was left of her scent. Removing the letter from her nose she places it on her lap and begins to read it.
