Here is the letter as promised for all of you to read.
Willow,
I
know that a lot of things don’t make sense.
I wish I could tell you all of what you want to know but I can’t. If you’re reading this it means that you have
found the Flock and they have accepted you as the new Scarecrow. What you are reading isn’t anything recent,
this letter has been saved for years as it is customary for the old Scarecrow
to write an informative letter to the new one.
As
I’m sure you probably know already, whether you’d like to acknowledge it or
not, you are a servant to the Tall Man.
Through you he is able to manifest his will. He collects the bodies you provide for him and
it keeps him alive. The Flock follows
him through you; you are their link to Him.
They believe that you can provide them the way to His world. This world is supposedly some sort of haven
according to them and all they want is a glimpse or even a trip to this place. This makes you a sort of ‘holy’ figure so to
speak. With the title of the Scarecrow
you are above all of them and every one of them answers to you before the
Lesser Scarecrow. If he hasn’t died by
the time you are recognized as the new Scarecrow, Ryan will still be the Lesser
Scarecrow. I’m sure you have already met
him by now but let me warn you that when I was dismissed, he and I were not on
good terms. Hopefully the Flock sticks
to tradition and doesn’t open this letter before it reaches your hands. Be careful of Ryan, Willow. I cannot stress enough how dangerous he
is. While I am confident in your skills
and abilities, he is not to be trifled with under any normal
circumstances. His grudge against me may
carry over to you and for that I am sorry.
The Flock works in very discreet and mysterious ways, I cannot explain to you the way it operates simply because they are unpredictable and very secretive even to the Scarecrow. The only reason for this is because of the occasional change in Scarecrows. They want you to know enough but not enough so that in the event that you are let go alive you can’t spread too much information about them. I was one of the lucky ones, able to live whatever amount of life I had left. I hope that the same chance is given to you when the time comes. I hope that I am still alive when you read this. I have a big feeling you’re going to need my help and if I’m dead then shit might hit the fan real hard. If I am dead though don’t give up Willow. Don’t ever give up, you will get out of this whether I am there to help you or not. Just be careful and don’t trust anyone who has been around the Flock long enough to have known me.
