Mother Dearest,
I've found a wonderful group of chaps ready and willing to go on an adventure with me! They seem nice enough and took me on a tour of a swish looking castle! This gap year has gone off to a fabulous start!
Of course I'm keeping Crane close by - I'll need all the help I can get for the exams when we get back to the Magi Institute! I've made so many friends already, and we even found a magical ring of water walking! This adventuring lark is as profitable as it is fun! Anyhoo, it seems as though we're setting off again, I'll let you know how it goes this time.
Give a hug to old Bessie, I do look forward to seeing that little doggy again.
Lots of love,
Your brave, adventuring son,
Dori xxxxxxxx
