Dear Chosen One,
I shall be quick and I shall be brief for they are coming for me. I regret to inform you, in addition to the situations, that Hendrickson fell prey to them before I could do anything. He was a dear friend to me as he was to you and though I know how much he ment to you and I can never replace him, I shall take you under my apprenticeship to complete your training. It would be his form of revenge as well as a chance to take yours. My oppertunity is coming and unfortunately time is not our friend in these trying weeks. I must make preparations for the battle, for I am sure the hounds of hell are after me even as I write, hindering my ability to be with you in person. Therefore, I have arranged for the shipment of the Order's documents for your reading.
Take heed of these words enclosed. Follow them as if they were your holy book of surmons for they were written by many and will guard you against the daemons of the night where ever they lurk. They may not provide you with everything but seek others of the same cause and expand the documents, for even if they are old and wise, they are adoptable and we must keep with them. If I should fall next, then you are the last of the legacy. Do not fail us now. The legacy must never die or they will prevail in the course of time and all is lost.
I remember how Hendrickson spoke well of you in the marshes of Flordia and the apartments of France... I can only hope you are good as he said you are.
Gods grace be with you,
Vampire Hunter C. Norvishklav
