Marceline arrived in Fairhaven some days later after taking a detour through the desert regions in the vain hope of being taught how to build a fire without resorting to nuking a pile of wood.
She felt good to be home with the humidity and salty air but, alas, these good feelings were not to last.
A carrier Izam came swooping down and crashed into Marceline's face. No near misses this time, this was a full on inter-species collision.
"Gaaaahhhhh!!!" she screamed, "what in the name of all things psuedo sacred is going on!?!"
Marceline was annoyed at the Izam's lack of conversation but, as luck would have it, this Izam was in no rush to continue its journey.
A rolled up, tatty piece of parchment had come loose from its holder. Marceline picked up the dazed Izam and unrolled the parchment.
Shock and worry coursed through her rum drenched veins. Could it be true? The so-called higher powers have finally stepped up their defences?
She promptly plucked a feather from the Izams back and dipped it in the blood dripping down her face. I hear you ask 'why?' well, who of sound mind carries jars of ink around?
Marceline scribbled underneath Binarabi's words;Bleeding heavily, Marceline ended her writings there and sent the Izam on its merry, if not wonky, way.

Thank you for letting our guild know about these new guards, I first noticed them myself at Fairhaven Karavan temple ... I fear they might be amassing to hunt for Trytonists, this is a worry to us all.
Is it possible for you to count how many at each temple and teleport so we might be able to prepare ourselves ... although I do not know how at this present time
On a different subject - I hope your sister Lucretia is calming down a little, she always has been wayward ... is she enjoying being in the Lakes since you took her in from her mother?
Hugs to you and your family
Bina
Sad news. Do you reckon we could pretend that coming out as Trytonists was a joke? you know, because fighting is pretty tough and i'm bleeding from the head quite profusely anyway. Next time you send an Izam, Bina, could you please make sure it is a fresh-faced and bushy-feathered one instead of one that is clearly due for retirement?
And is this rum i smell?
You wouldn't have happened to have sent another Izam a few days ago, would you?
