Mystery Note & Missing Lord

   " What?"

   " Before the army came. He gave me a letter to give to you along with a gift. I still have it after all these years. I hid it in a good place."

I looked up and seen that it was an old woman talking to me.

   " May I have it please?"

She nodded and stood up. I followed her. She lead me to a part in the wall far from his house.

   " He told me the password to get in. He made sure no one would be able to except for me. You probably never saw this when you rebuilt the wall, Jeb used something different to make this part of the wall. This stuff will last forever."

I nodded.

   " You know this part is supposed to be round, but it's not?"

I nodded and she turned back to the wall. She walked to the very corner and pushed a brick in. She did this with all the corners and then she made a symbol in the middle. It was a capital A. The wall shifted and opened up a little. She gestured for me to step through. I did as she said.

   " Here is the letter. I fyou want to leave just press the cornor bricks and it will open for you."

   " Okay thank you."

She nodded adn handed me a letter. The wall shut and I turned back around. There was a small fountain in the wall with benches and the place was filled with my favorite flowers.

I saw something in the middle of the fountain. I walked forward and seen the same lovely rare flower on a lily pad.

It looked completely healthy. I didn't dare touch it. I sat on the edge of the fountain and stared at it. Then I remembered the letter so I opened it up and read it.

Dear Y/n,
               Y/n I hope this letter makes it to you. I trust Maggie with my life so I trusted her to give this to you. I hope you like your suprise. I never got the chance to show it to you myself, but I'm happy that Maggie was able too. If she didn't then go to the weird wall on the other said of town opposite to my house and touch all the bricks on all the corners then make an A in the middle. It sits there waiting for you.

I won't spoil it for you. Well, maybe a little. I rememebred your favorite flowers and planted them all there. I built it all myself so no one knew about it. I am writing this to you because I fear for my life. If I die than this is to be delivered to you. So I am sorry to say I have passed on.

Alta has had a strange encounter and the man ran off. I am trying to build up our defences more so we will be safe. I don't know if it will work though.

Y/n I just wanted to say that when we started talking and getting to know each other more I admit I fell for you. I didn't know I even fell for you until I helped you up the stairs into my house. Funny though you haven't come to see me in a while, but something must be going on and I understand.

Just know that I love you Y/n. I'm sorry I never got the chance to tell you myself. I hope you like your suprise. I made sure that no force would destroy or knock it down. It will stay there for a while.

Take care of the brother's and sisters of Alta for me.

                                                                                                   ~ Jeb Knight

I folded the note up and cried. A smile formed on my face. I was happy that I had somethign to remember him by, but at the same time. I miss him. I didn't stay to long cause I know Ben would be upset that I was gone. I left and went back to his house. I went inside and was immediatly ingulfed in a hug. I turned around and faced Ben.

   " Mom!? Where were yo-"

He noticed my puffy eyes and tear stained face.

   " Mom what happened?"

I handed him the letter and started reading it. I went and sat in front of the fireplace trying to get warm. He came and sat by me and hugged me.

   " Ben I miss him."

He hugged me tight and cried with me. Then I realized something. We never found Jeb's body. When we were cleaning up Alta we never found his body.

( Flashback )

   " We were invaded during the war and they took my people away. As you can see some of them gave their own life, cause of how they were treated by the enemy. They killed me since I was the lord."

   " Aww Jeb I'm sorry."

He smiled and hugged me again. I pulled away and greeted everyone from V/n and Alta. I was so happy to be home when I felt a pulling sensation. I started being pulled backwards.

( Flashback Over )

   " We never found him."

   " What?"

   " Ben Jeb told me when I was in Heaven that they killed him since he was the Lord."

   " Yes and?"

   " And we never found a body when we cleaned up Alta."

His eyes went wide. We stood up and walked outside. We rang a bell and everyone came from their homes and gathered at the fountain.

   " People of Alta! Listen to my mother's word!"

   " Brother's Sister's I have had a memory come back to me. Jeb told me when I was in Heaven that he was killed for being the Lord of us all here, but when Ben and I fixed up most of Alta we never found a body. With this I can tell no one else did Either! I know it's late, but we must find Jeb Knights body and give him a proper bariel. Will you help me in looking for it?"

They all just stared at me. Then a torch was held up in the air by someone.

   " Anything for Jeb Knight! We are his brother's and sister's and as such family we will look for him. Even if it takes us all of our lives!" They shouted.

Everyone held a torch. One by one every citizen held one up. Someone handed one to me and Ben and I held mine up in the air.

   " Then let's look for him Brothers and sisters. For Jeb!"

We all cheered his name and began the search.
