Bahadir,

We've had a rocky go at it, but I feel we could still be friends if we work on our relationship. That being said, I won't be following you to the Badlands. I think I have found something in the Desert that I wish to pursue. I would never keep our daughter from you so she will be visiting you often as I have no plans to leave the island of Salem.

Shawdowfax,

I wish my mother was here to see you regain your home. She would be proud! Unfortunately, she has gone back to the land she came from and won't be returning to these islands. I will be going to the Desert to be with Scarecrow, but I wish you the best. I sure how you can find an ally in the Desert and hopefully you can work out your differences with Bahadir in the future.

Balavant is under my care, but he seems interested in playing with Raptor and Sauron again. I would hate to separate him from his friends so he will be staying in the Dunes.
