It&;s a spiritual offering. I&;m not sure how I can explain it more clearly to outsiders, who appear to be so faithless. If your guardian, Shinwa, required the assistance of a citizen to ensure that you remained protected from the evils of this world, would you resist her?

Regardless, this has drawn out so long, and the stars are beginning to come out of alignment. We have very little time left to complete the offering, and it certainly can&;t be completed while the pirate riffraff defile the area. I implore those loyal to the Islands to end it, either through victory or submission.

As our window of time gets smaller and smaller, I can see the seas already becoming more turbulent, and understand that it is my responsibility to make things right. I urge everyone to seek shelter as soon as possible.
