Jagged-edged parchment lays compressed between two pieces of shark hide, bound together by a cord of the same grey hide.

Attached to the Sky lantern, I wrote the following note:
Hope. Needed for patience, for guidance.
Hope. Needed for past, for future.
Hope. Needed for friends, for family.
Hope. Needed for foe, for stranger.
Hope for one. Hope for all.
It is my hope that the dreams of those I hold dear come true.
It is my hope that the evils plaguing this land are vanquished.
It is my hope that the actions of the individual, namely myself, are forgiven and in time forgotten.
Hope for one. Hope for all.
