All alphas receive a the following, in handwritten format, delivered personally by the author, Eligio Vincenzo.
To the Alphas of the People of Auckland,
The visions of the Cahalith, Dreamers of the Pregnant Moon, as faithfully collected by Eligio Vincenzo.
May Luna's Wisdom guide us.
Brandi, of Claws of the South
The vision is of a the old wolf, Henry Cooper, as a young man.
Sitting on a porch, he writes in a journal, dressed in old fashioned clothes. The house is simple, a single lone tree on its grounds, not much else is visible. It is peaceful.
Henry Cooper closes a completed journal, and places it to one side. His clothes change, becoming more modern. He picks up a new journal and continues to write.
The new journal is filled, and Henry Cooper places it to one side. Again, he and his clothes age, and he opens a new journal.
This cycle repeats itself many times, as the vison now begins to fade.
Mordecai, of Howls at the Breach
While in the park, Mordecai sees Henry Cooper dragging a bird into the shadow of a nearby tree. As he walks to investigate, the vision begins...
Henry Cooper is there, wearing colonial uniform, standing above a figure. The figure appears as a soldier, wearing colonial style clothes, black, and so stained with oil as to be seeping it. Henry Cooper produces a knife, stabbing the soldier with it. He proceeds to carve the fallen into three pieces, and as the vision continues, three spirits come to retrieve the pieces. As they carry them off in threen separate directions, the vision shows a second dead soldier, by a second tree.
Henry Cooper steps over to the second soldier, who lies amongst wounded Uratha. The wounded are as if they have been in a viscious and terrible battle. Again, the soldier is carved into three, and again the pieces are carried in different directions by three spirits.
The vision ends.
Hallvard, of De Trofaste Folgesvenner
The vision is of a compass, spinning. As the vision continues, the spinning compass is revealed to be the Moon. At this, the moon compass breaks, the arrow pointing to the east.
A vision of a cross replaces the compass, and as gazed upon, oil seeps from it, darkening it. The vision ends.
Jormagund, of Vilfarne Folgesvenner
Out to dinner with a companion, Jormagund looks to his left, and the vision begins.
At a table nearby, twelve wolves dine. Their coats are silver, and their meal appears as crab. As the vision comes to a close, the crabs are seen to be seeping oil, and yet the wolves still eat...
Eligio, of Jade Talon
The vision begins as Eligio sees the tail of a beast walking amongst his office. Turning to the animal, it is revealed as a Hyena, carrying within its mouth a firearm. Placing the weapon on the ground, the animal walks toward the chair of the man who writes the property section of the magazine.
A vague shadowy figure appears, picking up the gun. It is pointed at the seated property reporter, and fired with no sound. As Eligio studies the figure, the report of the gun is finally heard.
Turning to the seat, the man is gone, and the Hyena climbs upon the vacant chair, as though it belongs to the beast now.
Eyes back to the vague figure, except it has vanished. Then, looking back to the chair, the vision ends, the property writer is there once more.
