Master General,
This one knows Master does not directly receive letters from the Birthing Grounds, but this one still hopes that this letter reaches Master General as the matter at hand is of utmost importance.
This subordinate is here to report of an incident regarding the Tree and its Fruits. Clocks before Sundown, the Fruit on the Highest Bough has fallen. It came to be as an unknown projectile from the Demon side struck the trunk of the Tree with a force mighty enough to cause tremors on a massive scale. Take note that all the Fruits have fallen but it is most disturbing that the one on the Highest Bough has fallen and caused what we fear, an irreparable damage. The Fruit from the Highest Bow plunged into the Tree's surrounding water and did not surface until twilight.
We suspect that said Fruit has disrupted the field with the other. We attach this black-tipped feather as proof of the birth of the Tainted One.
It is also suspected that it was an intentional move by the Demons, but on closer investigation the projectile came from outside forces. This subordinate made sure that results of the investigation were not made public as this one infers that the Demons have concluded it is a premeditated attack by us, the Angels. If it is war they want...
This one requests that Master reports it to his Majesty immediately, as we all know that this marks the end of our race.

Midwife DaLene,
You are to tell your Chief Midwife to evacuate everyone, including the newborns, immediately. As the correspondent of this prayer, you are to stay to finish the rest of the instructions I am about to give you.
Burn the Tree of Good. Kill the Tainted One and recover its Seed. It is the only way for our race to survive.

My Light,
I never knew you to be a callous one, Inthas. I cannot bring myself to kill the child for any reason, even if it is to save it from a life full of suffering. I know that this means I am betraying the Grace, but I'd rather live a life in seclusion helping this child be what it is meant to be. An Angel. He is of our race, and I swore to never harm on of our own. That is what I am doing, taking the child as my own. I have named the child Cain, likened to the child we never got to have. I have also... chosen to Fall, even though it may mean I confirm the declaration of war.
The death of my Shadow will be my only contribution to our kind in this war. It is also my ode to you.
With this, I renounce our Fate.

DaLene,
I can accept everything but renouncing our Fate. If you truly want it, then so be it. I only ask of you that you do not give the Tainted One access to the Highest Bough.

"Father",
I have intercepted your prayer to mother. I am jumping from the Bough. You can not stop me from meeting my Shadow.
Afterwards, my new brother and mother will come with me to escape from your sight. You will never find us. Come for us, and I will destroy the Grace. If mother dies, I will destroy the Grace. Forsake me, for I will destroy the Grace. The war will not be the end, I will.
I will destroy the Grace.
