Dearest Galadriel,
If you're reading this it means that the castle has finally decided to send me home. It's been a long few years full of both joy and sorrow. I can only hope that the castle has truly sent me home and not to one of those other cities in this world with a head full of memories of another life.
You have always been my dearest friend here at Paradisa. You've earned my trust, my respect, and a place in my heart. I'd like to think that even after I leave this place I'll somehow remember all the wisdom you've given me and hold that in my heart as my sisters and I continue our fight against evil. Please don't worry about me. I'll get to see my family again, something that's been missing in my life for a long time, now. Who knows... Maybe there's even a chance that Peter and I live in the same world and our paths will cross once again.
I'm leaving you my wedding rings. That was the single most important day of my time here in Paradisa and it meant everything to me that you were there to share it with me. I wish you nothing but happiness and harmony, my dear friend.
Love,
Phoebe
Hermione
Dear Hermione,
You have always been and will always be my sister. We may not be related by blood but there is no denying that our lives were somehow meant to be intertwined as they have been. Fate does bring people together in the strangest ways, just as it forces them apart.
If you're reading this it means that the castle has sent me home. Please don't worry about me. It's been a long few years at the castle and as much as I've loved my time here (with a few notable exceptions) it's simply my time to leave. I can only hope I've really been sent home and not to one of those terrible cities with different memories of another life.
I'm leaving you my Book of Shadows. I'd say that I hope you never need to use it but I know the castle all too well at this point. I can only say that I hope it will help keep you and others in the castle safe.
Take care of yourself, Hermione. Please know that I've always held your friendship dear to me and somehow I hope I always will. If I ever return to the castle without my memories please use the Book to try to remind me of what we were to each other and hopefully it'll be that way again.
Love,
Phoebe
Felix
Dear Felix,
If you're reading this it means I've been sent home to my family. Please don't worry. I'll get to see my sisters again, which I've wanted for a long time. If I've been sent home it means nothing more than that it was my time to do so. I only hope I really was sent home and not to one of those awful cities with memories of another life in my head.
I know you've been going through a difficult time lately and I truly wish I could help you. But I also know that I could never have helped you if you don't at least try to help yourself. I know there's a good man in there and if I could drag him out of you I would but only you have that power. Gideon may be gone but that's no reason to let yourself fall to pieces. I wish with all my heart that you can find peace and happiness.
I'm leaving you a jewelry box. My wooden one with the triquetra in the cover. It was handmade by Lloyd Irving years ago. Actually he made three of them but my sisters left before I could give them to them. I don't know how much use you'll get out of it but the triquetra is a very important symbol to myself and my sisters and you've been an important part of my time here and I think you'll find at least some of the meanings interesting.
Please take care of yourself, Felix. You have been a dear friend and I truly hope that some part of me will always remember you and the time we spent together.
Love,
Phoebe
Ashura
Dear Ashura,
If you're reading this it means I've been sent home to my family. Please don't worry. I'll get to see my sisters again, which I've wanted for a long time. If I've been sent home it means nothing more than that it was my time to do so. I only hope I really was sent home and not to one of those awful cities with memories of another life in my head.
You've been a dear friend in the time I've been at the castle and I'm only sorry I couldn't have been there for you more. I'm terribly sorry about what happened between you and Felix. It's not fair and you deserve to be treated better. I know that those words are hollow compared to the heartbreak but you're strong and you'll survive. I wish you nothing but happiness in your future and hope that I'll somehow be able to hold some piece of the friendship and love you've given me in my heart after I leave.
I wish I had something meaningful to give you but nothing I have seems good enough. I hope you don't think me tacky but I'm giving you a signed copy of my book Finding Love. I haven't written it yet by my time but if I wrote it it ought to be good, right?
Please take care of yourself, Ashura. Know that you're one of my dearest friends and I will always love you.
Love,
Phoebe

Hello Everyone,
If you're reading this it means I've been sent home to my family. Please don't worry. I'll get to see my sisters again, which I've wanted for a long time. If I've been sent home it means nothing more than that it was my time to do so. I only hope I really was sent home and not to one of those awful cities with memories of another life in my head.
I know that I'm just another name on the long list of people who have left. I only hope that I've helped improve things in some small way while I was here. Please take care of each other and the castle. There are too many here who can't defend themselves. It's up to those of you who can to help them.
I'm leaving a few crystals for the group as well as instructions for how to use them.
Best regards,
Phoebe
The Doctor (Fifth)
Doctor,
If you're reading this it means I've been sent home to my family. Please don't worry. I'll get to see my sisters again, which I've wanted for a long time. If I've been sent home it means nothing more than that it was my time to do so. I only hope I really was sent home and not to one of those awful cities with memories of another life in my head.
I'm so happy that I was able to know you in my time at the castle. I'm equally happy that I was able to travel with you, both in the short flight in the TARDIS and during the expedition. You're an amazing man. Excuse me, an amazing Time Lord, and I wish you nothing but happiness in your future. You're an inspiration for all of us who fight injustice in any world.
Code Blair has all but fallen apart and I'm afraid that's mostly my fault. I hadn't been as attentive as I could have and was terrible at recruiting new members. I've never really been cut out for leading groups of people like that. My older sister was always better at that than I was. I don't know if you'd be interested in taking over the group but you may know someone who could be and I trust your judgement. I'm leaving you all the notes about the group with the hopes that you can put them to better use than I did.
If you ever find yourself in San Francisco in 2005 look me up, okay? You never know - maybe we'll remember each other, after all. I'd like to think that somehow I'll be able to keep a piece of our friendship and how much it's meant to me in my heart.
Love,
Phoebe
Dairine
Dear Dairine,
If you're reading this it means I've been sent home to my family. Please don't worry. I'll get to see my sisters again, which I've wanted for a long time. If I've been sent home it means nothing more than that it was my time to do so. I only hope I really was sent home and not to one of those awful cities with memories of another life in my head.
I'm sorry I never got to know you better than I have. I wish you nothing but health and happiness in your future and that you stay safe and continue to keep others safe here. I'm leaving you my maps of the castle and grounds and my quarts scrying pendant. Use it well.
Phoebe
Simon
Dear Simon,
If you're reading this it means I've been sent home to my family. Please don't worry. I'll get to see my sisters again, which I've wanted for a long time. If I've been sent home it means nothing more than that it was my time to do so. I only hope I really was sent home and not to one of those awful cities with memories of another life in my head.
I'm so sorry, from the bottom of my heart, to have become one more of the many friends you've lost in your time here. I know that feeling all too well and, while I can say it does get a little easier, it never hurts any less. I only hope to lessen the blow by telling you that you are and always will be my friend. My biggest wish when I leave this place is to somehow remember each and every person who touched me while I was here - yourself included.
Take care of yourself - and your sister if she should ever return. I'm leaving you a jewelry box made for me by Lloyd Irving years ago. It's wooden with a triquetra in the cover. It was supposed to be a gift to my sister - maybe you could give it as a gift to yours.
Love,
Phoebe
Crowley
Crowley,
I know you've received many of these through the years so I'll make this short - I don't know if I ever told you but it meant a great deal to me that you were at my wedding last year. I'll never forget what you told me - even if I told you I'd keep it a secret from everyone else. I've known for a long time that some demons have hearts, even if they're well hidden. Just know that I've always felt the same about you.
As long as you're happy, I am.
Sincerely,
Phoebe
Aziraphale
Aziraphale,
I'm sorry I couldn't introduce myself in person, and that I couldn't do so under better circumstances. I saw that you arrived and and have a request for you:
I knew you the last time you were here at the castle. You saved my life, actually. My request is simple and probably something you'll do anyway - look after Crowley. He'd be mad at me for asking this but it's not as if he'd be able to yell at me, right? He's lost a lot of close friends in the time that he's been here and I've been worried about him. Please take care of him for me.
Sincerely,
Phoebe
Once-Ler
Dear Once-ler,
If you're reading this it means I've been sent home to my family. Please don't worry. I'll get to see my sisters again, which I've wanted for a long time. If I've been sent home it means nothing more than that it was my time to do so. I only hope I really was sent home and not to one of those awful cities with memories of another life in my head.
I'm sorry to be another name on your list of people who have gone home. If I could change that I would but there is only so much control we have over our own destinies. You're a good man, Once-ler. You have a good heart no matter what happened in the past. People can change if they want to, remember that. I know that you're just shaking your head right now and saying I'm wrong but I'm going to say it, anyway.
Take good care of Ted for me. I know you'll do it whether I ask you to or not, of course, but try not to be too hard on the kid, okay? Kids need enough room to make their own mistakes whether we like it or not. That means no tracking devices, no leashes and no locking him somewhere even if you think it's for his own good. He's a good kid and I'm glad I got to know both of you while I was there.
Oh and take care of yourself, too. Try to get out of that tower once in a while.
Sincerely,
Phoebe
Ted
Dear Ted,
If you're reading this it means I've been sent home to my family. Please don't worry. I'll get to see my sisters again, which I've wanted for a long time. If I've been sent home it means nothing more than that it was my time to do so. I only hope I really was sent home and not to one of those awful cities with memories of another life in my head.
I'm glad I got to know you while I had the chance. You're a good kid and have a great future ahead of you - I just know it. Please take care of Once-Ler for me. He needs all the friends he can get.
Sincerely,
Phoebe
Thorin
Dear Thorin,
If you're reading this it means I've been sent home to my family. Please don't worry. I'll get to see my sisters again, which I've wanted for a long time. If I've been sent home it means nothing more than that it was my time to do so. I only hope I really was sent home and not to one of those awful cities with memories of another life in my head.
I'm sure you weren't expecting a letter from me since we only knew each other a brief time but I wanted to tell you that it was an honor to meet you and I only wish we could have known each other better. You're a great dwarf, the best I've ever met, and I wish you nothing but happiness in your future. Please help protect the people of this castle. I have a feeling you would whether I asked you to or not but after our conversation while the Gentlemen were in the castle I know I can trust you to help keep everyone safe.
It was a pleasure to know you.
Sincerely,
Phoebe
Doctor Bruce Banner
Dr. Banner,
If you're reading this it means I've been sent home to my family. Please don't worry. I'll get to see my sisters again, which I've wanted for a long time. If I've been sent home it means nothing more than that it was my time to do so. I only hope I really was sent home and not to one of those awful cities with memories of another life in my head.
I'm leaving you four crystals like the ones I had set up when we first let "The Other Guy" out. I don't know if you'll be able to use them but I wanted to give them to you just in case. I don't know if I was able to help you out at all by talking to him for a while but I hope at the very least I helped show him that there's more to life than smashing. I wish you nothing but happiness in your future and hope you stay safe.
Sincerely,
Phoebe
Anyone still part of Code Blair
I apologize for not being a better leader while I was here. I've left my notes about Code Blair with the Doctor (the Fifth one). My only hope is that the group doesn't die with my leaving. Please keep each other safe and work together to keep the children and other residents in this castle safe as well.
