Although Eiríkur and Lukas's bond has much weakened in the time they had been apart, the young boy had always found time to write him letters. Even if he had never sent them, they remain in the journal he kept specifically for his brother. If anything were to have happened to him, he knew that his brother would be the one to take over the family's belongings, his being included with that. Every heartfelt letter always shows the supposedly stoic teenager to have mixed emotions towards his brother. Even if he says he hates him, it is quite the opposite.
Dating all the way back to when Lukas had been sent to the training corps, he wrote to the older sibling, but he had never possessed the time or money to send it, so he kept them, in hopes he could give them to him when he would return home. Though, this never seemed to happen, for Eiríkur ended up with keeping the letters hidden away, stashed under his pillow, pages still bound to the little notebook he kept.
Even to this day, he keeps writing to his brother, in hopes that he could one day give them to him, be it on his own death bed or before then. He always knew he may be the first one to pass between he and his brother, since he was the weakest of the two. Even with the strong facade he would put up, he knew his weaknesses and hoped he could only be as good as his older brother.
Even after all the mixed emotions of the Icelander, his true feelings are recorded in these letters, all addressed to his beloved brother. Though they be apart, he knew they would find their way to him someday.
We start at the beginning, the day Lukas had first left home for the Training Corps.

Date xx.xx.xxxx Dear Bróðir Lukas, It's the first day you've been gone, I really miss you. Pabbi says he has high hopes in you though, that you'll be able to come home a saviour, a true hero. I know you'll do great in training, you're already so good when training with Pabbi. I really want to follow you, be as strong as you. Mamma always said I was strong, but I don't think Pabbi thinks so. I get too sick often... He gets mad when I can't come to train with him.
I really hope the training is doing well for you though, that the people aren't giving you too much of a problem. I know how much you dislike being around too many people. You're probably showing them all up though, you're the coolest! You gotta be at the top, kay Bróðir? I want to be there and say "My stóri bróðir is the best, he's number 1!" but, I guess if you don't come at the top of the division, I'll still be super proud! Oh, so today, I went out training with Pabbi. I kind of messed up a little bit, and he got mad, but I think I'm doing better. I'm not like you, but I'm trying my hardest! I really hope you're proud of me like I am of you. I hope Pabbi's proud of me too, I'm really trying my hardest. Do you think Mamma is proud of me too though? Even if she's not here...? I really really miss her... I hope that God's keeping a good eye on her, that she's happy and well up in heaven. Even if I don't see her, I know she's watching us and cheering us on.You gotta tell me when you're coming home though, so I can ask Pabbi for money and I could get you something! Maybe that bread from the bakery that we had before... I guess I don't really know what I could get you... Maybe I could draw you something. Like a puffin! Oh, I have a new picture of it too, you'll have to remind me to show it to you when you come home, I might forget. I really do miss you though... I know it's only going to get harder as time passes, but I really wish you were here now to tell me a story and tuck me in. Pabbi's probably not gonna do it, he doesn't like me that much.It's getting late, the candle is starting to die out. I don't want Pabbi to come in and see that I'm still awake. I'll end this here. I hope you get this soon, have a good night stóri bróðir. I love you lots! Love, Your litli bróðir, Eiríkur
