TO: EVERYONE [mid-event #20]

[aquaveiled]

[ This message is sent for all Summoned to see about a week after the dreams and Heralds made their presence known. ]

Hello everyone. I know we're all dealing with a lot right now, but I thought this was worth the surprise eyeball-script.

The Heralds of War likely need no introduction at this point, but some of us still remember when they first arrived a few years ago after a poorly performed ritual in Solvunn. During that time, I'd managed to make contact with Koth and have tried to maintain some communication.

[ Not necessarily advised--Himeka did this of her own accord and curiosity. Those who are aware of her tree-form may have noticed that some of the limbs have been wilting and rotting the more time she's spent reaching out to Koth. But that's neither here nor there. ]

She's not always easy to understand, but when we spoke when they first appeared, one word came through:

"Mission"

For years my friends and I have been wondering what this meant. Now that she's back, I sought clarity. Or...I guess confirmation.

I understand her more easily these days so I reached out to her earlier today and she did confirm that this is that mission. What's happening right now in all of our communities. I'm not sure if war itself is inevitable...but she seems to believe that what she's doing will help there to be peace afterwards.

I know many here have seen war in their own lives and on their own stars before this place. If you'd like to share your stories, I would welcome them. I don't think peace is ever as simple as we want it to be, but as for if this is the only path forward...

I'm rambling a bit. This may not be a grand revelation, but I thought it important to share that what is happening now may have been building for the last few years and mayhaps some time before that as well. Only now, we may have a part to play.

Please take care,

水

We would definitely notice, he has a unique flair.

I think you can ask, but yeah, my guess is they're all of the same mind. Not interfering with each other might be why the gods themselves don't fight. We don't want a war between the gods too.

[aquaveiled]

That would likely end poorly.

Though, is all we can do try to pick up the pieces once they're finished?

[divinityfrompain]

Yeah, probably. It's hard to argue with people who are convinced they are right no matter what, and the gods have had thousands of years to make up their minds. They do have experience too, they've done this before. From our stint in the god thing I think we know that it feels natural to act like one.

[aquaveiled]

Yes, I suppose we can't entirely blame them for that. It became too easy to forget some things.

Let's work together, yes? Thorne in particular may need us.

[divinityfrompain]

We'll do what we can, for sure.
