News from Vera Cruz: November 4th - 6th
To His Excellency the Viceroy of Havana, Diego de Córdoba Lasso de la Vega, Marqués del Vado,
Esteemed Sir,
With the utmost urgency and a heavy heart, I commit to paper the curious and most alarming occurrences that have befallen us in recent days. It so happened that a local cultivator of pumpkins, who had graciously guided us to the discovery of a new cavern inhabited by bats, did impart unto us tales of peculiar skeletons and skulls that reside therein.
In this dark recess, we chanced upon a singular crystal skull, the likes of which we had never before seen. This enigmatic artifact seemed to imbue both myself and the environs with a most strange and revitalizing aura. With due haste, the object was entrusted to a substantial convoy, accompanied by a consignment of our finest gunpowder, dispatched by order of His Excellency the Viceroy.
However, dire news has reached my ears that our foes have been apprised of this convoy and are now scouring the channel between Hispaniola and Puerto Rico with unrelenting fervor in pursuit thereof. It fills my heart with dread to think that perhaps they may have already laid claim to it.
I beseech you, Sir, to dispatch aid with all possible speed, for the matter is of the utmost gravity.
Yours in service and urgency,
Pedro the Gunsmith of Almeria
