As the fish heads towards the distant glacial landmass, a Nyctosaurus courier flies overhead. It drops a note and leaves.

Adder picks it up. It’s entirely in French, and he reads it out loud to the others.

Greetings to the residents of the Rift, animals of every species, gender, size, and age.

''This is a message brought to you by the Emperor, Dmitri. I have come to make an announcement. Starting tomorrow, we wage war on you all. Imperfection and imbeauty cannot exist in this world’s short lifespan. For those who wish to join, I suggest you submit yourselves to the Fates and join our Empire. For those who don’t...they shall no longer exist.''

''I repeat. We, the Empire, will wipe the slates clean and cure the world of disgrace. Only in a world of emotionlessness and impregnable silence can we find peace and order. I am sorry to those who do not comprehend this message’s meaning and do not wish to join, but this is adieu to you all.''

No signature at the end. But it’s obvious the Emperor wrote it.

As this happens, couriers fly all over the Rift, dropping these notes, exactly the same, at various spots in the world. Animals panic upon hearing of this dreadful message sent by none other than the absolute dictator of the Empire.
