Yinmaris clambers up to his room, his emotions currently in flux between drained and enflamed from the events of the day. His mind roiling from seeing the Lord of the Hunt's attempted assassination of Queen Merla mixed in with his worst moment back home at the Iathrana estate, the day he knew he was as memorable as lint to his own mother, the word Weak ringing through his mind both images causing his summery anger to bubble up occasionally.
He'd been feeling some guilt for what he saw as a betrayal to his family for what he gave to the Sisters of Silence, he shakes it out of his mind. They never showed loyalty to him and Merla matters more than his parents or sister. The thought of being a child of Lucan brought a chill down his spine that not even being in Morinn's prison could cause. Entering his room he walks up to his music writing moodboard, removing the drafts and placing them down in a ordered fashion for later. He writes the four lines on a seperate piece of paper, placing them on seperate corners of the board.
The feiry eladrin sighs with frustration with his lack of preparation "I'm going to need some more twine."
Letter to Queen Titania, Queen of the Summer Court:
Letter to Queen Merla, the Sun-Blessed with "For the Daughter of Summer when she awakens." written on the envelope:
After sending the letters through the usual channels Yinmaris rests for some time, pondering the frozen summer eladrin he saw on his journey in the caves. She looked so familiar yet he had no recollection for her. A few days later one evening as Yinmaris rests he opens his eyes up to a vision of the person, not a frozen statuette now as they hold him in their arm and stare down at him lovingly and says
“You were worth the cost Yinmaris.”
Yin wakes up in a warm sweat, confused. Questions swirling through his mind, "Who is she? What cost? Why was it paid for me? Was it just a weird dream? Is it just some trick to lead me away from helping Merla?"
He sits up on the side of the bed, head in his hands as a headache starts to permeate from the overthinking.
It's going to be one of those days.

Letter to Queen Titania, Queen of the Summer Court:
Your Honourable Majesty,
I hope this letter finds you at your earliest convenience. My name is Yinmaris Iathrana, I am one of the warlocks of your Daughter, the Queen of Virtue and Virtuosity. I write to update you on progress made towards bringing the Daughter of Summer back from her slumber. Recently myself and a selection of trusted adventurers from Kantas to gain information, it was a successful mission as we have found at least the items required to bring her Majesty back. It was through four lines that were cryptic as many things are within the Feywilds but they seem to at least to point the way to what the items are and where. I felt it pertinent to send these lines to you as soon as I could. The lines are as follows:
Find the Rose yet unplucked hidden in coldest holt; With a mind serene and thoughts of peace, only purest blood will flow
Gather the fallen Sticks tied with ribbons fair; Each a branch of sacred wood with no Names, and no spares
Seek the dancing patterns frolicking in the wind; With beauty illuminating more than three, trace their words upon your skin.
Recover the Rings of flowers where revelry stands still; To join in is a simple lark, but to leave is a test of will.
I would discuss the particulars of the events within the mission but knowing of the Winter Courts proclivaty in spycraft and subterfuge I thought it wise to hold back on certain details for now.
I suspect these lines are known by the Winter Court hence why I felt sending these lines would not compromise the security of the list, if you wish for me to return to Summer Court to be debriefed I shall do so at my earliest convenience. My next task is to collect the required items alongside my fellow warlock of the Daughter of Summer, Raine, we will work on finding out what must be done with the items and complete whatever ritual or process is required.
Yours in Service,
Yinmaris Iathrana

Letter to Queen Merla, the Sun-Blessed with "For the Daughter of Summer when she awakens." written on the envelope:
Your Majesty,
I hope you are reading this letter in a future where the songs of harmony are sung and not the beats of war drums. I thought I would continue writing my usual post adventure reports for when you awaken as I know you have said in the past you enjoy them. This letter will be rather short as it is an adventure best talked about in person with tea, I alongside some of my friends I have mentioned in the past Mittens, Keros, Crow and Ronkk. We endeavoured to find a cure for your, now cured, condition. It did come at some cost however all of us powered through and I'm grateful for my friends helping despite the cost. I owe them a great debt especially Keros who gave his happiest memory. I am especially proud to say that Mittens was the member of the party that fared the best through a rather dark memory lane.
We have found at least a list of the items required to awaken you and heal you. I am meeting Raine to coordinate and find the objects while endeavouring to keep Harmony's light aflame.
Also as you can imagine with these letters I am not sending baked goods for obvious reasons but when you wake I will be bringing my best of the best to assist with your recovery!
Keeping Harmony's Light Aflame.
