Dear Arenvald,

I’m sure our past selves would fail to recognize us as we are now. A simple shepherd woman and refugee, now slayer of eikons and liberators of countries. Our paths may have began similarly, yet there were many twists and turns before our destinies began to weave together upon meeting in the Waking Sands, that fateful day. I thank the Twelve every moment they allowed our narratives to be shared, especially in delivering a land rightfully ours from the Empire. How lucky was I to have you at my side.

There are simply not enough words in our common language to describe how my heart brims with pride for you and your triumphs. Forgive me for failing to hide my tears of joy as I witnessed you waving the banner of Ala Mhigo, signaling an end to an era of strife and oppression. In my defense, I’m sure A'aba and Aulie would have done the same.

Arenvald — I am so proud of you. A Garlean “mutt” you are no longer. And should anyone, ANYONE refer to you as such, they’ll have to answer to me, do you understand?

You are more. You are so, SO much more to me. You are a scion, a hero, but most importantly, my friend and I hope more than a friend, if you allow so. No pressure, unless you don’t see me like that then ignore this completely—

No matter where you choose to spread your wings, Gyr Abania or Eorzea, I hope to be beside you, always.

In my thoughts,
Felda Wingates

P.S. —And please—do give yourself more credit. This is the Warrior of Light gushing about your accomplishments, after all. Take pride!
