Letter Addressed To The Fire

The Traitor: The Story of Waterlily the Nun, The Conclusion

The Traitor: The Story of Waterlily the Nun, The Conclusion

May 17, 2024

How drastic. I flip through the remaining documents and there are no more news clippings following this breaking news one. However, letters of what seem to be dealings, half of it signed by a certain Lily, are grouped together. The first five letters are a back-and-forth between a mother and a daughter. Marigold and Liliana. The exchange reveals that Marigold was not able to reach Liliana after she left the farm, and so she wrote to her instead. Marigold explained that she stopped at a small town just outside Birrough because she feels "under the weather after having such little sleep." She promised that she needs only one more day. To this, Liliana wrote as if in a hurry. She asked all the questions from "What happened?" to "How are Honeybee and Clover?" and "Are you sure you're not sick?" because apparently, Marigold never, ever got sick.

It took two days for Marigold to reply. It was a short note explaining that yes, she was sick, and the doctor from the small town recommended two more days of rest. Liliana wrote back on the same day assuring her that she must take her time to rest and get well. She also asked if she can go to her instead so that they can be together again. Sweet little Liliana. This time, Marigold's reply only took one day: "No need, my Liliana. Stay put. I will be there."

Liliana no longer replied, for the two days had already passed. A day after Marigold's final letter, a letter signed by a certain Phileosippo wrote, "Little Liliana, this is your Tito Pipo. We followed Marigold after the day she left the farm. She stayed a bit in the town Birrough's End. We told her to let us treat her before she left. Her bruise on the head, we think Fior hit her. It took her. Lily, she's gone. Please stay where you are. Your Pipa will get you there. I will stay with Mari until you get here." The next letter was written three days after Phileosippo's letter. It was not signed but the address was the Hoxwell house that took Liliana in. It said, "The girl left as soon as she saw your letter. I am sending back your letter to her."

The final twenty-six letters seem to be some kind of dealings. All are to and from different people, yet all contain essentially the same requests or demands, and responses. The words "the pop", "your garden", and "N1000 per pop" are a constant in the letters. Pop? What is this, prostitution? But there's the garden, and they owned a farm and garden... Poppy? She is certainly related to the Poppy Contract, one way or another. But if she is gaining something from being a gardener, then for surely there is no benefit in betraying the Chapel?

The following document finally contained the information when Liliana became Waterlily the Nun. According to the Chapel's records only summarized by Priest Miguel's handwriting, when Liliana was 20, she was taken in by a Hoxweller named Aunt Marguaruite who loved flowers. By the time she became 23, Aunt Marguaruite died. Police reports say it was "natural death" but the neighbors swear she never had a health nor ageing problem. Liliana, then, went to a certain Rita, who "took care of her as her own." It was then when Liliana and Rita met a Señor Zeus, who turned Liliana to Waterlily the Nun. Señor Zeus? But I never met a "Señor Zeus" in the Chapel.

That was the end of Waterlily the Nun's documents. That's a lot. But I flip through the next documents, while I set aside Waterlily the Nun's files. I separate Cardinal Suarez's file, keeping it in the folder while I hold the information of the next target: Mother Heidi.

Twelve years ago, Azure Skylar, the Knight of the Cross of the unparalleled syndicate, the Chapel, was favored by the Pope himself to work on a mission that would determine the fate of their entire group against their growing rival, the Empire.

Twelve years ago, Azure met Caramella Red Aberdeign and found a friend in her. For once, he knew rest, quiet, peace, and comfort. Little did he know that Caramella Red was also the infamous Sweet Crimson, the ace assassin of their growing rival, the Empire.

A mistake, a wrong decision, a missed opportunity, all wrapped in the same regret that led to the ink on paper weeping about all that should have been said and done before time came and went. A story inspired by Taylor Swift's Evermore, Letter Addressed to the Fire will take you to a trip down the star-crossed soulmates' memory lane and tell you about all that was only whispered in the wind twelve years ago.
