Ladies, Gentlemen, and Fae-folk,

I am pleased to announce that we have successfully retrieved the eighth of Myatt's stolen sketches, titled "Heartbreak", and returned it to the artist.

While little blood was spilt in the retrieval of this sketch, it was...painful, perhaps, in other ways. The world can be cold and harsh at times. Some choices can be more difficult than others to make, perhaps even impossible. Sometimes, we aren't even given a choice. There are those who say "there is always a choice", and while this is technically true, it is not always practically applicable. Sometimes, the choice we know we must make is the hardest of all.

There is little that needs to be said here. Heartbreak is a subject with which many of us are familiar. Suffice it to say, we have each of us experienced it in our own unique way, for there are myriad hearts and myriad ways to break them.

But a heart cannot be broken if it cannot be touched. And to have heart even as it feels as though yours is crumbling inside you is one of mortalkind's extraordinary strengths.

So take heart, my fellow mortals. There is rightness in struggling forward even when it seems like there's nothing left. And even if the harshness of reality teaches you that you cannot save everyone, try nonetheless. You may yet save a life. You may yet save your own.

As always, I am grateful to all those who join together to aid Myatt in this endeavour. Thank you all for your continued assistance, and for your continued respect for Art.

In Song,
Taelle Starling
