Cousins,

I thank you for your kind words of encouragement, but I fear my path may lead elsewhere. Despite your call for patience, I hear the voices of far too many others of the family who have become blinded by promise of riches...well, more blinded than usual. But I fear such blindness may cost them much more than they gain. Cost them the bonds of the family. Something I do not think I can forgo. I am, and always will be, Sczarni.

But worry not for me, my cousins, for I suspect there will always be work for a man, such as I, skilled at bringing the gift of fire to places...things...people...whatnot.

And thank you kindly Trade-Prince Tariq al'Abdsaren for informing me of the Trade-Prince Aaqir al'Hakam's family. It is always good to know how many gifts to bring should the need arise.

I bid you good fortune my cousins. If you ever wish to return to the ways of family, I suspect the cost to return will not be as steep as what you are paying now.

I cannot speak for all of my cousins, but I do not see benefit in this...merger. Being Sczarni is more than simply making money. Well, that's a lot of it, but it's also about a very important concept: family. Family you can trust. Family you can depend on. Family will support you. Family will avenge you.

I see none of this in this "Exchange". I see none of this in this...prince person. How can we trust such an individual who so casually abandons his country...his family, if you will. I know I cannot.

This merger does not bode well for us, my cousins. We may very well have to strike out on our own and find our own way. The way of family.

Your cousin,

El Fuego
