<P>(OOC note: This is the note delivered to the guards via the small messenger boy as mentioned in the When the Bow breaks post to the list made earlier today. As Kharees and Thorn are already involved, I don't know if any other guards want to be, but its open. This letter to the guards is to more or less taunt them. The true killer knows where the next victim's little body is/will be and he's more or less rubbing that in their face. Atleast, I hope this makes it appear that way to them.)</P>
<P>A young messenger boy gallops up to the guard house and dismounts his pony precariously; charging up the stairs and bursting through the doors; breathless. His hair cut in paigeboy style lies disheveled atop of his head, cheeks flushed a bright red from exertion. Carefully, he approaches the Captain of the Guards, Lucius Von Stahl and lays the rolled up parchment on his desk. A quick nod and the boy tears off, running out of the guardhouse as fast as he possibly can; mounting his steed and galloping away.</P>
<P>When the wax seal is noticed, the image stamped in the center is that of a sickle and scythe crossed, a sword stabbed directly down the center where the two meet. Written inside, scrawled in red crayon and what appears to be the handwriting of a five year old child, is the following:</P><PRE><FONT face="Lucida Handwriting, Cursive" color=#cc0000>life goes on
it's just a game for some
for others it's work
yet some use it for themselves
while others use it for us
to be lost
to be found
what is a perfect life?
were does it connect?
how is it found?
to be as one
to be oneself
how to be i do not know
how does
it get found?
