Today is Fan Mail Friday on Tuesday #6

Having extended our "Fan Mail Friday #n" featurette to Tuesday, The Supreme Aglet humbly submits this secret communication from Agleteer Thomas.

Dear Supreme Aglet,

Although I know that your wisdom is unparalleled, I thought nonetheless you might not be aware of recent developments in Playton. Namely, Zorphine’s putrid and avaricious assistant Ursal has been sending messengers all over the land in an attempt to obtain the services of lesser ball makers.

How do I know this? For a period of time Ballio had an apprentice named Suraija to help him with the many chores of making Wonder Balls. Suraija has since become a Master Ball Maker in her own right and has been hard at work producing a type of wonder ball for an entire village located across the great pond that borders Playton in the East. It is Suraija that received the message from the abominable Ursal.

To her credit Suraija asked “Why are you asking an apprentice to do the work of a Master Ball Maker? “ When Ursal did not produce a satisfactory explanation Surija, who as Ballio’s former apprentice knew that Ballio loved nothing better than to make his Wonder Balls for Zorphine, politely declined Ursal’s request for her services.

Thomas, thank you for alerting The Supreme Aglet to this vital piece of information. I have forwarded your communication to Ballio, and he will work with Stelman--mighty interpreter of the law--to put an immediate stop to these shenanigans.

Involving Suraija is an obvious attempt to steal the cores that Ballio has established are his. If this were not so, the interpreters of the law who assist Zorphine and Ursal would have mounted a challenge to Stelman; for if they were in the right, the force of right would be enough to defeat even the mighty Stelman.

But they did not challenge Stelman, leaving Ursal to follow his natural shyster instinct.

Note to Ursal: the jig is up, and the world of the Supreme Aglet is once again in perfect balance.
