A sealed scroll, tied with ribbons of gold and ivory was delivered to each and every solar court by an owl of mottled tan and white. Her eyes, beady black and piercing, would stare at the group assembled, watching them with a knowing gaze as one would take the rolled parchment affixed to her leg and reveal the contents hidden away.

First, she ventured to the Dusk Court. Her flight to Terrastella was effortless; this was not the first time that Alba had traveled to these parts, and it would not be the last.

Arriving at the citadel, she swept into the courtyard with a flurry of feathers. Some might recognize her as the messenger of King Somnus, but she knew many would not. Regardless, Terrastella was the first on her journey of deliveries, as it had been Terrastella that had sent assistance to the young prince Regis when he had required it.

Once taken and unrolled, the scroll would be read with fine, grand penmanship.

’To our friends in Terrastella;

You are cordially invited to participate in the union between Somnus and Eulalie of the Dawn Court. On the first day of Fall, a gathering will be had to celebrate the marital union between both souls within the Delumine capitol, blessed beneath the knowing eyes of the Wise One, Oriens.

We look forward to sharing our joy and love with you on this very special day.

Blessed be,

Somnus and Eulalie.’

From there, Alba would move on. Taking to the skies, the barn owl would venture on to the next court, until all of her invitations had been delivered.
