[Elissa]

Shivering Elissa made her way up the owlery tower and covered her nose as the stink of owl droppings overwhelmed her. She held a red envelope tied with a blue ribbon in her hand, she held it with a tight grip, as if afraid it would disappear out of her hands. She picked a black descreet owl and tied the letter to his leg.
"Marvolo Santon." She muttered. "Southwest of Canada. Berry Street." Elissa let the owl loose and walked toward the window, watching it fly away.
