A Burnt Letter

My love, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it for your birthday. The search and rescue operation is far more complicated than expected. We've discovered traces of the Vultures near the Monolith—those freaks have come all the way here from the Snowy Realm. Once we resolve this crisis, I'll have to head north. The Vultures are out of control, and Roland will need our help. Of course, you are just as dear to me as he is. I swear it!
