Encased in a golden cask covered in sapphires, this letter is written on fine, blue-stained vellum with shimmering gold ink. The writing looks fluid and elegant, as though entire sentences were written without lifting the pen.
Greetings, fair monks, from the city of the twin sapphires in the sky, Shuangbao Lanshi. No doubt you have heard tales about our wonderful celestial jewels, Dongbao and Xibao. I am sure that you have seen our two blue stars chase each other in your night sky. Our picturesque world floats serenely in the middle of these ever-circling orbs, never ceasing to brighten our days. We are a wonderful land of an eternal, blue daylight, and our vigilantly-polished brass cities reflect that light back to you with a golden hue, delighting and inspiring people on many other worlds with our beauty and wonder!
But I write not to boast, but to plead for your ever-wise assistance, as disaster has struck! Our Western gem, Xibao, extinguished without any warning! As I write this, our capital city has been without light for over two weeks. My citizens are in panic! Tourism to our glorious world, which we depend on so that our people may live in the glory and splendor that they have as they have for so long, is in steep decline -- indeed, only scientists have been coming visit us, and they do not spend the money that my people need!
Worse yet, the people are scared beyond belief that Dongbao will extinguish next! I humbly beseech you, learned men of the skies and the natural world, to restore our star and bring our world out of darkness! The fate of our world and the joy it brings to all is in your hands.
