*Pressing her stave closer to her chest, a pulse of divine energy left her body, expanding like a halo around a rainbow a foot across her form. This was very much a reflex, and had little effect beyond displaying her bewilderment at the situation. Whether this was a familiar or a spirit of it's own was yet to be seen, but the cleric wasn't letting her guard down yet.*
"...Speak, little one. If you're not here to hurt me..."
Heidi
*The wolf's ears drooped slightly at the request. She was hardly in enough power to do such. They were far beyond her realm and the cleric didn't seem to have the power to understand. The wolf inched a bit closer, lowering her head to allow the necklaced message holder to fall to the ground before taking a step back. She doubted the cleric would be able to understand her, but she had to at least make some attempt. The Canifor seemed to wanting of her to bring it somehow. She closed her eyes, fur pricking for a moment as she tried to harness some ability here.*"A... Message..."*Came a young voice that didn't seem to resound from her own mouth, but rather echo around the area. It sounded warped in a way and that alone was exhausting enough for the wolf as she found herself lowering slightly to the ground soon after. She couldn't waste all her energy now, she still had to make the long trip back.*
Richard
*Her stance softened at the show of deference, taking this as a reply to her prior command. She dropped down to pick up the necklace, her eyes not leaving the ethereal beast - recognising the decidedly human expressions it made. Uncapping the metal tube and removing the slightly faded parchment, she unfurled it and read...*
Heidi
*The wolf lowered her head to her paws, ears pricked as she watched the cleric in mild interest upon her receiving the letter. The parchment itself seemed to have very few scribbles along it, suggesting the writer had debated a bit on what to say before coming to a quick conclusion.*

```Hey Cecilia. This will probably be a very odd way of getting this message, but I guess I was too afraid to come do it in person... Some friend I am right? I just wanted to apologize for my absence and well, false promises as well. I thought I could face my problems head on but, instead I simply ran away from them. I'm doing better now though! Mostly anyways. I sent this wolf spirit to come find you, hopefully you managed to get this message and... Well if you're not Cecilia, I guess you can just ignore the rest of this message...```

*The text seemed to end there, the anonymous writer still having yet to even mention who it was writing this. While it may have seemed there was nothing much else to note, it appeared that backside of it had some extra writing on its own, perhaps in thinking that anyone who didn't care enough would leave the message at that and ignored what remained.*
