Dear Aunt Bluef,

It is not surprising to us that you have chosen to involve yourself in
this matter. Neither is it surprising that you are attempting to use it
to gain publicity for your own sad failure of a cause. Your intervention
is both uninvited and unwelcome, and your attempts to concoct excuses
for Ayrh's actions are pitifully transparent. You know as well as we do
that there was nothing supernatural involved in her motivations -- it
was a tantrum born of pure spite and petulance. Similarly, your
misguided farce of a ritual has changed nothing, either with Ayrh
herself, or with her relationship to the Order of the Moon.

Unfortunately, the timeline you gave is so fictitious that it could only
convince people who were not involved. Your story was well written
indeed. If it only had truth in it, it would be passable. However,
Ayrh's discontent began well before a few years ago, and it came to a
head not after a ritual, but after a disfavour.

We of the Order of the Moon understand Change very well, I can assure
you. That does not mean we have any special inclination towards
forgiveness or kindness to traitors who acted with complete personal
agency. The acts that Ayrh has committed have started a series of
Changes that are not likely to be kind to her, or to any who ally
themselves with her. Such is the nature of the grand patterns we serve.

Change without wisdom is futile. That is the process she embraced, and
now seeks to escape the consequences of. To even seek escape from the
consequences of her actions is no more than an attempt to reject
everything that occurred because of a dissatisfaction with the result.
