Sermon Two | Text

[inheavenslight]

I have been here for a week, and so far I have learned the following things:

1.) Nothing here makes sense.
2.) Animals are not supposed to talk, and they do. I think I prefer birds when they didn't have conversations outside my window.
3.) Everyone seems to carry their witchbook around, people should lock them up someplace.
4.) There are a lot of strange folks here with odd ways.
5.) What is there to do besides sit around?
6.) Why am I even writing this in here? Note to self: invest in a journal.

The wings they give you can't be used to fly. I just cheat and tuck them under my flames when I'm flying.

[That is not a lie actually. He did ask after all.]

But it was harder for the dragon since his fake wings have feathers and he's not used to them.

[Welcome to Luceti man.]

Re: [Voice]

[inheavenslight]

Flames? Dragons?

Re: [Voice]

[fierybluebird]

I'm a phoenix.

You have to meet the others for yourself. [He's not helping him find them. Insert something because he doesn't Luce.]

Re: [Voice]

[inheavenslight]

Whats a phoenix?

Re: [Voice]

[fierybluebird]

A fire bird of mythology, regeneration, and sparkles. [The sparkles are clearly the most important part.]

Re: [Voice]

[inheavenslight]

I have never heard of such a thing.

Re: [Voice]

[fierybluebird]

You've never heard of talking animals or pineapples before either.

But I'm actually surprised, most worlds seem to have some sort of stories about phoenixes, they're just usually considered myths or fictional.

Re: [Voice]

[inheavenslight]

The Land of Sancia forbids stories that might challenge the faith. Such as with Myths.

Re: [Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Interesting. My world has similar laws to protect the government. In my experience, however; such things are doomed to fail eventually. Hiding the entire existence of people still alive is a pretty complex loose end.

Is Sancia your world, country, or something different?

Re: [Voice]

[inheavenslight]

It is my Country.

Re: [Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Sounds even more difficult for them then. Do other countries have myths?

Re: [Voice]

[inheavenslight]

I do not know. I was raised by the Church.

Re: [Voice]

[fierybluebird]

So you're a priest now?

Re: [Voice]

[inheavenslight]

Informally. I can do sermons in case others don't want to. But my title is Judge.

Re: [Voice]

[fierybluebird]

So the church is part of the government then?

Re: [Voice]

[inheavenslight]

Correct, it is a Theocracy.

Re: [Voice]

[fierybluebird]

[There's some quick scratching sounds as Marco scribbles some notes to himself for later. No easy feat as he isn't bothering to switch out of phoenix form.]

I see. And the Lord is a living Saint, is it?

Do you know about the other countries in your world?

Re: [Voice]

[inheavenslight]

No, the Deity is the Earth.


And No.

Re: [Voice]

[fierybluebird]

I see. And what is the Lord then?

Re: [Voice]

[inheavenslight]

The Lord?

Re: [Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Ruler? King? Some human person who enforces or "interprets" the laws.

Re: [Voice]

[inheavenslight]

The Church?

They tell me what the laws are, and I have to Judge if they are broken or not.

Re: [Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Who leads the Church? Anyone? Are there other judges?

Re: [Voice]

[inheavenslight]

The Council of the 7 Priests.

Re: [Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Understood. So you take orders from them, or if you disagree on the err... [Fumbles over the word but seems to get it eventually] scriptures, can you still go your own way?
