A Letter from Priestess Nàsis


54 Poràkol 2109

Dear reader,
The woman from the canyons who called herself Amkzí Mahatria maintained a five-year correspondence with my father before she disappeared. As a child, I often watched him sitting on his study's hard wood floors surrounded by curling organic papers and slim sheets of video paper as he tried to piece together what she said.
I have no doubt that he believed Amkzí Mahatria was the real lead singer of Tapestry. He spent years pitting data against her narrative and never found a loophole.
My father never shared the details of his obsession while alive. The following folios, accompanied by his media notes and links, are all that remains.
In solidarity,
Nàsis kul Leksones

About the Author

When I had attained the ripe old age of five weeks, my parents brought me to an amateur astronomy convention called Stellafane. A journalist doing a piece on children at the convention recorded that my mother called me “a refugee from Betelgeuse,” a red giant star in the constellation Orion.

In a small American town, my mother revealed these origins to me and I set out on my life mission: to explore strange new places, to seek out new experiences and new perspectives; and to boldly pursue my dreams.


I graduated from high school in May 2005. By that time, I had several novel drafts, a large and brilliant constructed language, and notebooks of emo poetry to back up my claims to the Betelgeusian throne. At Smith College, I learned to hone my writing and editing skills. (My emo poetry from college only fills ¼ of a notebook.) I also developed a passion for current events, politics, public policy, astronomy, and literary science fiction.


Now, a recent Smith College graduate, I blog and go to grad school. My web novella, Akačehennyi on a Diet of Dreams, was completed earlier this year. I also write KALLISTI, a Hellenic Polytheist-oriented blog. My poetry has appeared in print in AlienSkin and in Eternal Haunted Summer.

Thanks for choosing to read Ossia. I hope you enjoy it and that you stick around for stories to come.
