*Author's note: This letter is written between chapters 3 and 4.*

Your Majesty,

I write to inform you of my findings in Shimmering Wood.  Much to my surprise these creatures are real, for I and five others fought them after my entry into The Wood.  They walk upright as we do, but act in the manner of animals.  The first battle with these...."abominations," went rather well.  Do not waste ink trying to discover how I managed, I will simply tell you now.  Seven against thirty of the ghastly vermin, yes I meant seven.  My horse Spero, continues to impress me.  Though that is a story for later.  No one was seriously hurt in the battle and I walked away with nothing more than a bite mark.  Fear not, the boot suffered more than my leg.

Orion is doing his best given what the man has to work with, and I will be joining his effort to bring resolution to the situation.  There is no need to involve your men at this time.  If you do not receive another letter within a month, however, please send someone else to learn what has happened.

After we deal with the primary concern here, I intend to find work with their metalsmith and lend my blade to Orion whenever it is needed.  I have also met someone, but cannot explain my attraction to this woman.  She is unlike any I've ever met.  Pray for me, if you will, that my resolve remains whenever it is important.  The fact I've only known her for a day raises concern and I dare not guess what will become of this.  Sire, you of all people know how I struggle.

Your ward,
Araos.
During Book One - Chapter Three of The White Shadow, Araos mentions he was to report to the King via courier.  This is the letter he writes to his foster father.
