[Gorran sits quietly in his apartment, a messenger, a Matis, quietly opens the door.]
I looked up at the blond Matis, she was dressed in purple Modi Wiva.
"Sai-Ju Din, the door keeper? He sent me in," she said softly. "I said I had a letter for you and he said you were expecting me?" She held out a sealed letter.
I smiled. "Thank you, please sit and have something to drink." She sat and poured herself some psykopla punch. "What is your name little sister?"
Anger or surprise, so hard to tell with the Matis some times, flashed across her eyes. "Little sister?"
"We are all children of Atys, are we not? So, if all children of Atys, then all brothers and sisters. But tell me your name, I am Gorran."
Her face softened. "Rosini Vidi, I am Rosini Vidi. I've live here in Zora for some time now but was on business in Yrkanis. Before returning home, I checked to see if there were any packages or mail that needed to be delivered here in Zora. Yours was the only one."
"Thank you Rosini." I broke the seal on the letter and began to read. A sense of ease washed over me and I must have smiled.
"Is it good news?" asked Rosini.
"Very, would you wait a moment longer? I have some letters to quickly write." She nodded so I took out parchment and quill and began writing.

Defenders of the Four Nations,
So many of you have answered the clarion call to stand against Akilia and her designs to pull down the Nations. As a body, we will go to take Akilia into custody and put end to her attempts to bring anarchy to the Lands and to persuade those she has deceived into seeing the error of her ways.
Akilia has given veiled threats against any who approach that are loyal to the Nations. We must expect that she means to enforce those threats by force of arms; so, we will go in full battle regalia, ready to meet any show of force that Akilia and her supporters may make.
We will gather from across all the Lands at 23h - Dua, Winderly 14, 1st AC 2604*. Post this in every city and village, let all homins know that the citizens of the Four Nations stand united against this new threat.
In Haste,
Gorran Zhuangi, Zoraï Awakened
Shizu, Guardians of Zora

I quickly wrote out copies of the letter, sealed them and handed the stack to Rosini.
"Please give these to Sai-Ju, ask him to find his fastest messengers." Rosini nodded as she stood and quickly left the apartment.
'Now we must prepare,' I thought, 'and may Atys keep us safe.'
