A fourth letter to Kendrel
Dearest Kendrel,
I must admit, I was eagerly anticipating your correspondence for quite some time now, and I had feared that my message had not reached you. However, I am glad to report that your previous letter has been given to me successfully--though how the courier managed to enter my locked home in Chorrol to deliver me your letter at four in the morning, I will never know.
I am very glad to hear that your vampire hunt was a success! Tracking down these creatures requires cunning and flexibility on our to be able to keep pace with the elusive tricks they employ, and your creativity and perseverance in acquiring information and piecing them together is extremely commendable, and really shows your growing skill as a hunter.
I will confess that I was nervous when I read of how you poised as an innocent lost girl to get close to the vampire, as this level of vulnerability you have exposed yourself is something that I have only ever done on rare occasions! Though with your description of this specific target, I feel that he may have been a White court vampire--a specific group of hunters that use charm, seduction, and deceit to lure their victims to them.
These types of vampires often tend to be well fed, allowing them to maintain their beautiful visage and flawless complexion in spite of the raging disease coursing through their undead veins. Along with their physical appearance, they use their innate vampiric powers to their advantage, often implementing powerful, yet subtle Illusions to entrance their prey even more. My own experiences in dealing with these White court vampires included a farmhouse, a gang of female thieves, and the Anvil City Guard, but that's a story for another time...
Still, you see my concern, Kendrel. These are very dangerous creatures, and you should exercise more caution now that you are aware of their modus. However with that said, I am still very proud of you. I am happy to know how much you've grown ever since the time I met you at the Tiber Septim Hotel, and I feel secured knowing you can put the knowledge you've learned from your father's training to the test.
In regards to your powers building up when you're really angry, is it simply in the physical way? Or does it manifest itself magickally as well? Maybe like some random fires, or sudden levitation of small objects? If that's the case, you may want to get yourself checked out by the nearest mage, as you might be born under the sign of the Atronach.
I once heard about a Khajiiti woman who manifested early signs of her innate powers during periods of extreme emotion and stress, and that she was unaware for the longest time that she was an Atronach and that her magickal energy was not innate, but she did absorb external magickal forces directed at her. The last I heard of her, she's now a very successful witch hunter, so I'd highly recommend you watch, observe, and have those powers of yours checked out. It may be a hidden skill of the huntress revealing itself to you now.
Again, I am happy to hear that you are slowly taking on the role of the heroine in your life. The life we chose--the life that has been thrust upon you--is not easy. But the deeds we do, the people we help, and the new dawn we see every day is a reminder for us to carry on with our tasks.
And as you continue with your own adventures, I look forward to the day that I get to see you again--either with you visiting again here in Cyrodill, or with me taking the trip to Morrowind to meet in your own home province. I have a lot of new things that I've learned, a lot of new encounters I've gone through, and a lot new stories that I can't wait to share with you.
I look forward to seeing you again Huntress, and may the sunlight always safeguard your path.
Your friend, Veric Robent
