Letter to Orphie Dradius, lead of Rangers

Deles Silam Serae Dradius,

I would like to request an interview at your convenience.
I am at the service of the Karae Tamiela Fera Fillia di Torani as Lady-In-Waiting and she has been kind enough to entrust me with the mission of learning more about the presumed author of this Matis map recently found in your archives, Ser Svaldi Bucci.
Not having been able to find any information on him, I take the liberty of bothering you.
I understand very well that your time is precious and I will not abuse it.
But I have no doubt that your answers will allow us to rediscover this character of our common history and the role of the Karae in the promotion of Arts and Culture will give him the place he deserves.

Respectfully,

Liosta Be’Zephy
Karae’s Lady-In-Waiting

¡Woren siloy joven homina!

Por el tono de su carta, estoy segura que puedo dirigirme a usted de este modo.
Aún si yo no puedo, alas, garantizarle una entrevista (me encuentro muy ocupada, especialmente en este momento); sin embargo, trataré de satisfacer todas sus inquietudes.
Antes que nada, permítame sorprenderme que usted no haya encontrado nada en los Archivos Reales. Pero quizás, de hecho, aquellos tiempos fueron muy turbulentos y ciertos documentos desaparecieron, por accidente o no...
Svaldi Bucci fue un gran homin y merece encontrar en nuestra historia común el lugar preponderante que le corresponde.
Usted tiene que saber, de hecho, que Svaldi fue mi predecesor al frente de la organización que hoy día todos conocemos como Los Ranger.
Pero para apreciar mejor la importancia de su carácter, es necesario regresar un poco en el pasado, al tiempo en que los homines se asentaron en las Nuevas Tierras, después del Gran Enjambre y el exilio que prosiguió.
Svaldi estuvo en aquel momento comandando un contingente Matis de fuerzas armadas voluntarias reunidas por el Pacto de Asistencia Mutua (PMA) y liderado por los cuatro héroes de la Fuerza de la Fraternidad. Pienso que este nombre al menos le es familiar y no necesito recordar a todos los gremios que llevaron a cabo la lucha contra los kitines.
El remanente de aquella armada, una vez alcanzado sus objetivos, conformó el gremio de los Ranger de Atys y Svaldi tomó el liderazgo. Su experiencia en el mando lo designaba para este rol.
El sostuvo firmemente el timón a pesar de la tormenta generada por el ascenso al trono de Jinovitch en 2504, a pesar de la restricciones, a pesar de las presiones que venían de todas partes.
Y cuando llegó el momento para ayudar al Principe Yrkanis flee Matia a salvar su vida, el no se inmutó ni por un momento.
Entonces, debido a las sospechas que Jinovitch tenía puestas sobre el, puso a todos los Ranger en riesgo y por el bien de todos, Svaldi sacrificó su posición como Guía y desapareció, probablemente para unirse a los rebeldes liderados por Yrkanis.
Entonces yo tomé el liderazgo de los Rangers de Atys.

Esto es lo que usted debe conservar de el, joven Matis: ¡devoción por la causa común! ¡Recuerde esto cuando usted haga su reporte a la Karae!

Svaldi Bucci fue grande. ¡Regréselo a la lugar que se merece!

Orphie Dradius,
Guía de los Ranger

Wisely standing in front of the Karae, Liosta waited for her to finish reading this missive which was becoming more and more important to her.
This missive had brought her, first of all, the information that she was missing to be able to conclude the mission that the Karae had entrusted to her. This was invaluable to her.
But now, after the Chamber of Nobles, it had been adorned with an aura of mystery that made Liosta's eyes sparkle.
For, if rumors were to be believed, Orphie Dradius must have written it shortly before leaving on her final quest.
So, behind each word, she was looking for a hidden meaning, a revelation that she had to bring to light.

The Karae finally raised her head.
"I thank you Serae Liosta. I will ensure that the royal archives now correctly mention Ser Svaldi Bucci. But you wanted to add something.
- Sil, Nae Karae! Two actually. Am I allowed to go to the funeral of Serae Dradius if non-Rangers are welcome? I'd like to testify to her kindness in answering me when she was already planning her expedition.
- Of course, Serae! And the second one?
- Nae Karae, that kirosta sting that no one has ever seen! We must find out where it comes from! The SKA must have this honor! And you must be the one to reveal all this to the Atysian people! I am not a warrior, the Firm is a guild of craftsmen but I would like to help! What can I do, Nae Karae? "

Tamiela looked at her lady-in-waiting and hid a smile. So much youth. So much ardor. All that was left was to temper it all with a touch of dignity. Add a touch of self-control. She sometimes regretted not, no more, being able to act with such spontaneity.

"Come on. Serae Wu She-Peng did your instruction, you told me. She certainly instructed you on this kind of case. If you can't, or won't, do something yourself, then find out who can take care of it. And make sure he or she shares your goals. In this case, you probably don't even have to look far. You mentioned the SKA. What is their opinion on the subject? Have they offered to help with the research? I doubt the Rangers will give up this Sting entirely, but they pride themselves on letting all willing parties participate in their work. So let's not make them languish."

Liosta had been impressed by the pyre and the ceremony. She had so much faith in Jena that she was inclined to forget that the Powers could not always bring the homins back.
It seemed to her that burning that body was so barbaric, so final...
Serae Dorothée had insisted on receiving a copy of the letter. She also owed it to the memory of Serae Dradius. So she began to copy the message.
