Dear Apollodorus,

You may dispense with the familiar titles for I have disavowed any blood
relation to you a very long time ago. I can certainly understand your
desire to discredit my account of what occured, but as I attempted to
explain to Lady Ourania personally I have merely related my personal
knowledge of the situation -- A story that I wanted to tell for a very
long time, but was hesitant to do so without Ayrh's consent. However
your Order views her, I wouldn't dream of acting with disregard to her
feelings on the matter.

As those who Ayrh messaged following the second ritual know, she was
very muddled about what had occurred. I agree that her discontent in the
Order had been evident to her close friends for some time, but its my
belief that the Disfavour was what sparked her inclination to attempt
such a dangerous initial ritual alone. I'm sorry that she didn't feel
she could turn to any of you for aide in this quest to reconnect and
redevote herself because maybe things would have turned out differently.
I wish I would have taken the time to assist her too. My guilt about the
situation and what came to be because of it is what prompted these
postings and nothing more.

Simply stated, my post is anything but a publicity message for any
organization I'm affiliated with. It would not even make sense to do so.
The fact is that the Revolutionaries have long counted Ayrh a friend.
And regardless of your remark that, "The acts that Ayrh has commited
have started a series of Changes that are not likely to be kind to her,
or to any who ally themselves with her," we will continue to do so.
