He then turned his candle to the stack of papers, and saw etched upon their cover-sheet his father's rose insignia. Trembling, mind now years and distances away from this place, within the dancing candlelight, he began to read... "My dearest Perrion, ...how grey it always seems here as if nothing moves.
