Four men sat down to play,
They played all night till break of day.
They played for money and not for fun,
With separate scores for everyone.
When they had come to square accounts,
They all had made quite fair amounts.
Can you the paradox explain,
If no one lost, how all could gain?
What did they play?

RJON,

WE’VE BEEN DISCOVERED.

NOT ALL OF US, BUT SOME. THEY’LL FIND YOU SOON ENOUGH, AND I CANNOT LOSE MY LIEUTENANT BEFORE THE WAR IS TRULY FOUGHT. NOT THIS TIME. TWO POSTED IN THE CAPITAL CITY HAVE BEEN FOUND AND BURNED. THEY WENT THROUGH TWENTY INNOCENTS TO FIND THEM, BUT THE HUMANS BREED LIKE FLIES.

TWENTY OF THEM IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE LOSS OF TWO OF OUR OWN. NOW THAT THEY KNOW WE ARE HERE, WE CANNOT HIDE AMONG THEM FOR MUCH LONGER. THEY ONCE KNEW TO TEST VIA FIRE AND WATER, AND WE CANNOT AFFORD TO BE FOUND WHEN THEY REMEMBER.

SO RUN. EAT BEFORE YOU GO – FEAST IF YOU LIKE, THERE’S NAUGHT BUT BEAR AND DEER ALONG YOUR PATH. GO TO CALVARIN, NEAR THE MOUNTAINS. I WILL ARRANGE FOR A DRACWING EGG TO BE THERE FOR YOUR ARRIVAL. BIND THE HATCHLING AND USE IT AND IT ALONE FOR MESSAGES. NO OTHER METHOD IS SAFE, THESE DAYS.   I DON’T HAVE TO REMIND YOU TO BE CAREFUL.

~ KYUU NAJJ

P.S. KILL THE BOY. HE KNOWS TOO MUCH.

It can go around the world while staying in a corner.
