Letter to Charles Xavier
The letter is handwritten with a quill pen, in flat black ink; both the envelope and the paper inside are handmade.
Charles Xavier Rinpoche:
I hope that this letter finds you in good health, and that you can help me. I am Kylun, and I have studied with Zz'ria Rinpoche for most of my life, as I am told you once did. I am writing to you because I have found instruction from Rinpoche that I do so, if he could not aid me himself.
He cannot, because he is dead. They are all dead, everyone at the monastery save myself. I can imagine how it must look, but I swear by the Circle that I did not kill them; they were the only family I knew. I have buried them as was my duty, but I cannot stay here; their ghosts haunt my memories, though I know their souls have passed on.
I write to you because my master wrote to me of you, speaking of you as a man of compassion and principle, and he was seldom wrong in such matters. It is my hope that you will help me leave this place and find another home.
I regret that I will not be able to respond to, or receive, any return letter. The monastery, as you may remember, is secluded, and when I finish this writing I must travel down the mountain and hope to find someone willing to mail it for me. I know how much of an imposition I am asking for, but if you are able to come to the monastery, or send someone on your behalf, I will be waiting there. I have enclosed a map, so that you or your representatives may be sure of the way.
I do not know what else to do, Rinpoche. There is nothing left for me, here, but I do not know how to live anywhere else. You are my last hope.
Kylun
