My darling lamb,

I do hope this letter finds you well and in the company of those that love you as I do.

This winter felt particularly dark in places, didn't it? I felt some days as though the bonfires needed to burn that much brighter to keep the shadows of the night at bay; I wonder if perhaps there was just more darkness to burn away this past year, and the fires needed to burn that much brighter to give us an even fresher start. Though, for all that I felt that clinging gloom so much more this winter, I would turn to see you, and you were as dazzling as the sun. I suppose all this is to say that having you near to me brought more warmth than those fires ever could.

You are truly a wonder and a treasure to behold, beloved one. My wish to accompany the returning sunlight is that it will never dare to shine as brightly as you, it should know better than to try. My second selfish wish is that while you will spend many days outshining every other star in every other galaxy, you will be doing so next to me.

I long to sink my fingers into your honey-bright fleece and to pull you close to me, and to hold you there until our hearts beat through our bones and sinew until they merge into one being. I want to stand clutching you so tightly that we combine into one, never to be parted from one another— a romantic notion when I know we both need our space, so maybe an intertwining of souls, a tether that will span this hateful distance between us so that I can always feel you there, right within reach, a finger looped around mine.

Would you like that?

Do you think we should try?

Rip our way into the magic of the world and find a way to bind us together, soul to soul?

I know the daylight is returning to Eternia, but I wish for my most brilliant star to once more be with me, I feel as though the long night won't truly leave until I can be there to make you smile and laugh, in that way that you do where your whole face creases with your joy. I do love how you smile with your whole face, I love to think of how those lines will press into your skin everlasting, the more you smile and laugh, and I hope I am there to watch age caress your features, I hope we have built a beautiful life together by then.

I know none of this is news to you, please forgive a sentimental old dog, I simply need to tell you over and over so that you can never forget; I love you, I love you, I love you.


I will be seeing you soon, angel, with any small amount of good fortune. I will kiss your sweet face, and I will pour you tea, and I will be blessed with the music of your voice as you tell me anything you please.

Ever yours, ever devoted,
Your Hound.
