Alright, it appears that it is at least somewhat safe to tell you some things. The previous letter I sent you was a sort of a decoy, to see if They still had a way to intercept my letters. But it appears They don't. For the moment anyway.
Most of what I've been telling you has been true; I am a fugitive (falsely accused!!), I am stuck in a safe place under the city (can't tell you where, exactly, for security reasons) and there are a few others who are in similar situations. There is no one called "Lil" and there isn't much in the form of resitance. It's basically just me, and a friend who is my only contact to the outside world. I don't think it's wise for me to tell you who they are, so I'll just call them C. They're the one who's been bringing me food and other supplies. Honestly, I'd probably be dead without them.
You're probably wondering what on earth has been happening these past weeks... Well, I befriended the wrong person, I guess. Which is a bit unfair, because I don't think she's a wrong person, she's a great person, actually, but she just got mixed up in some real big shit, and that meant a bunch of people she knew got dragged in as well. It wasn't her fault, I don't think, she's always been such a good person...
The worst part is, I don't even know what she got involved in. I just know that one day she was hailed a hero (you know, after what happened at the Royal coming of age, you've probably heard the news) and the next the whole army was basically after her and then she hopped on her dragon and fled the country. It was a big deal, they launched a huge investigation, interrogating all her Rider friends and the palace staff and the DRA staff... and then I wake up one morning to a bunch of guards burst into my quarters with a warrant for my arrest and I just freak and blast them with a freezing spell.
I didn't mean to, it was purely instictive, but that's the point I knew I'd fucked up, so I just grabbed whatever I could and ran.
I ran into C behind the stables and I almost blasted them too... Well, actually I did blast them in my panic, but they managed to deflect it like it was nothing. I've never seen so much raw power, but that's beside the point right now. They saw I was running and paniced and desperate and we've known eachother for ages so they realized I hadn't done anything, that what had happened to her was happening to me and they helped me leave the palace grounds undetected.
I've been hiding out ever since, and they check up on me every few days, keeping me up to date on what is going on. The heat has died down a bit, and C says I could come out for a little while, to get some fresh air, but I haven't had the guts yet. Some of the other folks who live in hiding do go into the seedier parts of town occasionally, so I guess it might be safe, but...
There's just so much what I don't know yet and I am terrified.
