The next day, Zavian was seated in a meeting with his council chiefs when a Druid boy came to the Castle carrying a letter. When the guards saw him, they questioned him about why he was there.
"A letter for the king."
He said, taking out the sealed letter from his bag. A guard took it from him and he turned immediately and left the castle.
The guard went to the council hall and delivered the letter to Zavian. Zavian stared at the seal and he knew where it had come from. He did not open the letter until he was done with the meeting. When he was left alone, he broke the seal and read the contents.
"...I do not have much time left on Earth. I wish to talk to you before I go. Come to me as soon as you get this letter."
