"Winter is near, I don't think we will have enough wood to last the winter!"

I am an orphan in this life. No money, no rightful place in this world. If only I was lucky enough to be one of the chosens, but our orphanage had never been chosen. They wield magic here, I've assumed that I have entered a different world. Our world had never had magic, and yet somehow people were able to make fire with the tip of their fingernails here, yet the people here are almost as advanced as one of our other lifetimes on Earth. The land here is called Gaia, I've grown up with many others.

Despite technological advancements, with great power comes selfish humans. The country is preparing for an upcoming war. I know this may sound slightly harsh but this time, I'm not even trying to find love, but if you do come I would receive you with open arms. I'm just trying to survive with my little sister, Anna. You know what, she looks just like Emily. Her eyes, her smile, everything is just like Emily's. I would protect her with every ounce of power I have. She's helping me live a little longer. As depressing as it sounds, I've awoken with only emptiness and exhaustion in my bones. Have never felt this way before and it gets harder to wake up each passing day. Somedays I feel a little happier, other days not so much. I won't write too much but maybe another day.

I found this little booklet from 3 years back and I felt that I would go through its contents. Everything felt surreal, the dreams, the entries. It's probably all my delusions. I fought in the war and I survived. The prosthetics the army gives you is practically useless, manoeuvring around like a puppet is how I felt about it. I wondered if you were real, how would you react to my body. Mostly scarred, I'm basically better off dead at this point. I can't work, who would hire someone broken.

Oh yeah, the last time I wrote to you, fate seemed to want me to be a magician. The people from the Magic Council came to check our affinities and guess what? I am able to control water and earth magic and for some reason I am able to manipulate plant growth. Emily was too, but she had an affinity to light or heal magic as they call it, just like the bright smile on her face. I was able to give the orphanage enough food to last before I left. Now I am in a big home alone, and with a single maid and butler. Quite lonely, but ever since the war ended, don't we all. I have to go now, the sun is peering at the horizons. I can feel it finally kick in. I hope to write to you soon.
