The 1st Seraph appears before the ancient board, the aura of light surrounding her a softer glow then usual. Her hand is steady as she tacks a shimmering missive upon the cork, secured with a single white feather from one of her wings and penned in her trademark green ink.

Dearest Patrons of the Duel of Swords,

It is with a deep sadness that I write to you all. I am called home and must turn in my uniform and Q log.

All of you have made my experience here a pleasure and delight. The privledge to serve you has been an honor indeed.

May your paths always be light.

I remain in Grace,
Cygnet Seraphin
1st of the 9 Orders
Veteran, Jade Gryphons, TDL

In a flash of celestial light, the angel vanishes, leaving behind a delicate swan quill, the end tinted with green ink.

((authors note: please respect my wishes and not contact me at any of my SN's))

Dear Cygarette,

No one can stay away for good, so I hope to see you back here soon. And I know you'll be back if I'm still here ::wink::. Have a safe journey.

::wanders by the board for the first time in a long time::

::stops to read the writings, going from one to the next, eyes finding the unmistakeable signature of Cygnet Seraphin::

::looks away from the retirement notice hoping that by turning away and then re-reading the missive that somehow the words would be different::

No, the words didn't change.........and neither would my fond memories of Cyggy either. I only wished that I would have known that that Saturday shift worked together was to be our last...... but then again, maybe the Angel knew what was best.

::scrawls a note with shaking hands through tear-filled eyes::

I will miss you dear Cyggy.....undeniably.....for my heart has you within it, in a special place that no other will be able to share. If you ever return to RhyDin, please, stop and visit Sher and m'self. We will always welcome you and Gnim with open arms.

Your friend.........always,
AJay

::re-reads the missive and quickly tacks it up before it becomes waterlogged::
