1[00:25] Slapping her hands on the table and look at Yiel with a grin.
2
3"Yieeeeel how goes it?"
4
5Ludovica places her hands into her pockets and begins to whistle. Awaiting Yiel to respond to her inquiry.
6(Ludovica Maria)
7--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8
9[00:25] Caitlyn waves to the two teenagers at the table.
10(Caitlyn Aballi)
11--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12
13[00:25] Caitlyn Aballi says, "Hi."
14[00:29] That Yiel in question was just a touch spaced out, but at the call of her friend, she turns about to face her, giving her a smile and a nod of her head!
15
16"Greetings, Ludovica. I am well, and yourself? How fares the poetry writing?"
17
18Question offered, the blonde cocks her head ever-so-slightly, granting an inquisitive look to the other, cool and calm! As usual, as she speaks, her hands move, and as she turns to quiet, they still! Currently resting atop her heavy volume of the Codex Cosmic!
19
20At Caitlyn's greeting, the Yiel responds with a wave of her own!
21
22"Greetings! Would you like to come sit with us? Your friend next to you can come too."
23
24Offer given to the youth, that Deacon motions gently to the stool to her right!
25(Yiel)
26--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27
28[00:31] Kelly Kirk says, "I guess I'll sit, too. Nothing else better to do."
29[00:33] Ludovica sidesteps into the stool nearby. She begins to tap her hands on the table humming.
30
31"Oh. It's a process Yiel. By the By! I've told my pal Rhea to meet us for lunch sometime soon. So it's official,soon perhaps she can hear the word!"
32
33Quickly,Ludovica moves her blonde head towards the young girl who waved at them. Moving her prosthetic left hand up she gestures at them.
34
35"Come come don't be a stranger,stranger! Ironic huh?"
36
37Then once more at the speed of light moves her head at Kelly.
38
39"Oh welcome,welcome. The more the merrier I suppose!"
40(Ludovica Maria)
41--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
42
43[00:37] Caitlyn hops up to her feet, deciding that she would indeed like to join the duo at the table. She hadn't much else to do while Galynn was out since most of her friends were missing currently aside from Celine. So why not try and make more friends, right?
44
45Claiming a previously empty seat, her tail swishes to the side as she addresses the two with a nod and a smile. "Uh, nice to meet you two. I'm Caitlyn."
46(Caitlyn Aballi)
47--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
48
49[00:37] Kelly Kirk says, "I'm Kelly."
50[00:37] Kelly Kirk says, "If you know Agni, he works under me."
51[00:43] That Deacon bears a cool, calm presence, relaxed and peaceful. Conservative, dark clothes garb her form, while a star-shaped symbol of The Faith rests around her neck, an up-to-date edition of the Codex Cosmic upon the table, her hands idly resting upon it!
52
53Instead of responding quickly, she seems to favor waiting for everyone to speak, her hands settled, before responding to each person in turn, slow, gentle, deliberate motions made of her hands as she speaks! Such reveals a marking upon her right palm - two parallel lines and a horizontal to connect the two at the top!
54
55"Hello, Caitlyn. My name is Yiel - I've taken the name of the star I'm closest to. I'm a Deacon of The Faith, as well, so if you or a friend ever need someone to talk to, feel free to seek me out."
56
57A warm, welcoming smile is given towards the kiddo. Her sienna eyes turn to Ludovica afterwards, though, that same cool, relaxed warmth extended her way.
58
59"I'm glad to hear that, and I look forward to meeting Rhea soon - and hearing more of your works."
60
61A nod following, the Celestialist gives a similar smile to Kelly! Content at bringing people together!
62
63"Might I ask how everyone has been recently?"
64(Yiel)
65--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
66
67[00:49] Taking a enlongated breath. Ludovica sighs. She begins to crack her fingers and stretch her arms while,rolling her neck only to yawn right after. Shaking her head quickly she regains her composure.
68
69Moving her fuchsia glance at Caitlyn,A smile is forged on the face of the blazing poet.
70
71"Ah! Pleasure to meet you Caitlyn. Name's Ludovica. I'm a poet and Magi although I've yet to put the latter to use."
72
73After addressing Caitlyn,Ludovica begins to answer Yiels inquiry.
74
75"I've been doing great Yiel. I sparred with Evan and won with ease. However it made me think about my style of combat. Could using raw mana itself prove as a catalyst to intensify my explosions tenfold? So I've been pondering with that Idea as well as meditating to get a better grip on such a raw form of energy!"
76
77Looking to the bald grizzled man who has taken a seat next to them. Ludovica offers a quick smile and wave.
78
79"Ah!Hello how goes it?"
80(Ludovica Maria)
81--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
82
83[00:49] Kelly stretches his arms, shifting in his seat slightly. "Not much has been going on with me, although I've recently gotten back into a hobby I abandoned years ago. I can use metalmancy to literally sculpt metal, forming it into statuettes and the like. It's distinct from artifacy - it's only useful for making works of art at the moment, and not actual tools or weaponry. Maybe if my life had gone down a different path, I'd be aiding Agrien in her endeavours."
84(Kelly Kirk)
85--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
86
87[00:51] "-- Wait the Church is a thing again?"
88
89She's heard bits and pieces of people picking up the Faith once more, though she hadn't heard much regarding it outside of the fact the Church was under new ownership by someone named Marisol or whomever their name may be.
90
91Of course, she did find herself a little skeptical of such a thing as may be justified given the lack of detail surrounding such events. Caitlyn had tried to seek information regarding the on-goings of the Church before but had been met with a resounding silence, having been completely ignored by the only person she had confirmed to be trying to do something with the Faith.
92
93Still, it brought a bigger smile to her features to hear that it was making a sort of come-back. Not that it had ever completely fallen but there's certainly been a period of inactivity amongst the staff, a fair few having quit or other-wise abandoned the Church for whatever reason.
94
95Strange how ones Faith can falter so easily, Caitlyn wonders. "Who's organizing it at the moment?"
96(Caitlyn Aballi)
97--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
98
99[01:02] That blonde can't help but smile gently at the overflowing energy of the poet. Certainly Energy is a good choice for her, seeing as though she has so much of it!!
100
101Kelly's words have her give a gentle little nod his way, interest piqued in that type of craftsmanship utilizing his metal-manipulations!
102
103Caitlyn's words have the blonde chuckle softly, nodding!
104
105"The Faith was never not a thing, Caitlyn!! Though I have heard that many of the scholars, sages and priests have been a touch insular as of late, due to the trying times. Many have turned to plumbing the ancient archives for lore to do with The Witch Trials, and haven't been so active within the public eye."
106
107A pause had, before her hands move in those gentle flourishes and sways of hers!
108
109"I hope to change that, however! By being as active and present for everyone, as much as I am able to be. The highest authority within the church will always be the Stelli and Grand Priest!"
110
111A nod given, her attention goes to Ludovica afterwards!
112
113"I'm glad to hear that you're training alongside Evan. And perhaps energy would be a most fitting choice for you - seeing as you're already positively brimming with such."
114
115There's a tiny tease in the voice of the cool, calm Deacon! It's paired with the subtlest little grin, before Kelly is looked to!
116
117"I'd love to see some of your art, sometime, and there's no reason as to why you can't help Agrien! I'm sure she'd enjoy working on a piece with you. I know that whatever direction you point yourself towards, the Ios-illuminated tenacity you bring will help carry the day!"
118(Yiel)
119--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
120
121[01:05] Caitlyn Aballi says, "I uh, that's good to know actually."
122[01:05] Caitlyn Aballi says, "I need to go though."
123[01:06] Kelly Kirk says, "My metal-sculpting is probably why my mana control is so refined."
124[01:08] Kelly Kirk says, "I used to spend hours making statuettes, although the reason I did so..."
125[01:08] Looking at Yiel with a her eyes growing a curious expression. Ludovica begins to question the Deacon as per usual!
126
127"The Stelli and Grand Priest? What exactly is their job. Mainly the Steill I can infer what a Grand Priest might do "
128
129Ludovica forces her hands to dive into the aybess known as the pockets of her garb. She moves them with extreme haste, around and pulls out a piece of jerky. Chewing on it lightly,Ludovica awaits Yiel explanation.
130(Ludovica Maria)
131--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
132
133[01:08] Kelly Kirk whispers: It's slightly embarrassing. Maybe I'll tell you sometime.
134[01:22] A nod is given to Caitlyn, a smile following as she departs! Attention turning to Kelly and Ludovica now, the Deacon responds gently, her hands moving in subtle gestures!
135
136"I understand, Kelly. I'd love to hear more about such sometime - "
137
138Though she does smile a touch about his ask for secrecy! Sienna eyes turn to Ludovica, as the Deacon gathers thoughts for a moment before responding!
139
140"Ah, the Stelli are a council of eighteen Higher Clergy members who have a strong connection to one of the Leonausian stars! Perhaps, some day when I'm older, I'll be permitted to join them, should the stars choose that path for me, of course."
141
142"The Grand Priest is the Queen-chosen speaker for the stars within this Kingdom. They are a direct ambassador of the stars will - and are thus very, very busy! They oversee the Church's functioning, itself! The Stellus' job is to help improve and work on the Codex Cosmic alongside overseeing important Kingdom-spanning operations of our Church."
143(Yiel)
144--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
145
146[01:29] "Oh my! Quite a dream Yiel. Hopefully you will,I do believe somebody with your dedication and knowledge would be able to with enough hardwork!"
147
148Ludovica takes another bit of her jerky. Chewing on it at a rather slow pace before speaking once more.
149
150"Does the Queen chose the Grand Priest from the Stelli or is that a different process if you don't mind me asking?"
151
152Ludovica keeps her glance on Yiel. Awaiting a response one more. However she awaits with a smile. She did quite enjoy talking to Yiel. She knew so much,which in reality was a godsend for Ludovica. Ludovica absolutely loved learning. Especially when it was more about the very society around her!
153(Ludovica Maria)
154--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
155
156[01:31] Kelly Kirk says, "No matter if you achieve your dream or not, though, I see your path as more about the journey than the destination."
157[01:31] Kelly Kirk says, "It's about all the people you've enlightened and gave guidance to along the way."
158[01:40] The calm, relaxed Deacon can't help but be similarly pleased as she answers the questions of the young woman before her!
159
160"Thank you both very much. I do share your idea, though, as it's important for all who dream to keep their gaze forwards - but not neglect the path that they move upon. They journey is more important then the destination, as life is based on self-improvement and betterment."
161
162"After all - though it's a reductionist epithet - its a greater tragedy to be one of those who only rush towards the result and fall short, rather then those remain grounded, focused on their path and step carefully. For those who step carefully don't need to anguish about needing to reach the result, and can be content even if they fall short."
163
164As for the questions related to the picking of the Clergy, there's a small hum at that, before shaking her head;
165
166"Those of the Petrakis bloodline have divine insight. They can discern the starlight reflected within someone, and can identify who would be most appropriate to be the Grand Priest, regardless of who they currently are. Often it's someone from the Faith, however, especially someone of rank within it, as The Faith attracts the people made of the correct moral fiber to keep the position. The Stelli are chosen by the Grand Priest, though, but in principle are often held over from the previous Grand Priest, should one's journey end."
167(Yiel)
168--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
169
170[01:46] "Hey that's a pretty solid view. Step carefully and remain focus with out rushing and falling short!" Ludovica exclaims with a face one can describe as idea ridden! More material to perhaps forge unto paper with her pen had become apparent.
171
172"Petrakis bloodline? I must be history illiterate ,I've never heard of them. However such an ability sounds extremely captivating for I can only imagine what sort of wisdom it brings.
173
174Speaking of which have you met the current Grand Priest? Actually infact. Have you met anybody from the Petrakis bloodline before? It makes me wonder If they chose the Grand Priest...Did he see that insight in person?"
175
176Ludovica seems a bit jittery. Tapping on the table clearly thirsting for an answer to her questions!
177(Ludovica Maria)
178--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
179
180[01:46] Kelly Kirk says, "'Divine insight', hm? I've never lended much credence to bloodlines of any sort, probably due to having a 'low' background. What support I have for the Crown has always been more so for the sake of Essharan stability. You can't yank out a vital pillar holding up a fortification, and then expect it not to come crumbling down."
181[01:47] Kelly Kirk says, "I see those in authority, from blood or otherwise, as people - although people with a huge responsibility to bear."
182[01:47] Ludovica Maria exclaims, "That is a fair view!"
183[01:58] The blonde listens to both present, thoughtful and bearing that same gentle, patient smile of hers. After their words are given, she responds gently, hands moving in those subtle gestures of hers!
184
185"The divine insight of the Petrakis is supported by history, however. The lore of the Codex Cosmic goes back a long, long way, and it talks of one of the first of the Petrakis bloodline, a mythical mage by the name of Mihail Petrakis."
186
187"It is said that amidst an extremely powerful spell, Mihail was able to gaze fully into the expanse of time, and the mark that that deep foresight left upon him is so powerful that it's rippled down to each person that bears his blood. This was during the Kingdom of Astya - a land on another continent that could be thought of as our forefather empire, before its people were translocated here, due to a calamitous attack by the dread monster known as Mordred."
188
189More then eager to talk of history, there's a touch of excitement as she tells some of the old tales, that is, before turning her attention to Ludovica's question, a smile given!
190
191"That's quite alright. I'm happy to tell - our current Queen is her Highness Ariadni Petrakis the Second. Unfortunately I've not met her, nor the current Grand Priest personally! But they've far greater matters to attend to then one Deacon, so it's quite understandable why I have not!"
192(Yiel)
193--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
194
195[02:00] Adrielle cos Solenne says, "Hello Task."
196[02:00] Adrielle cos Solenne says, "Looking plump today, my friend."
197[02:01] Kelly Kirk says, "He's napping, I think."
198[02:04] Aki yawns.
199(Aki Kurokaiyo)
200--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
201
202[02:04] Ludovica quickly looks to her left with a smile.
203"Ah! Hello Miss Aki,Long time no see. Last time I saw you a group of people were looking for your sibling I believe Who had stolen a young child . Ahem!"
204
205Ludovica coughs.
206
207"I hope your faring well?"
208
209However after throwing out that inquiry. The pasta accented poet quickly brings her attention back towards Yiel.
210
211"Oh! I hope someday you do get to meet the current Grand Priest along with the queen since she is of that bloodline. I wonder what she might see in you?"
212
213Suddenly her voice grows an intrigued tone.
214
215"Do you know more about this Mihail? He sounds like an interesting figure.
216
217I should really get myself aquainted with the history of this city. I don't even know much about the history of where Im from either but I figure now is a good time learn! Especially since it might give me more material to write about! "
218(Ludovica Maria)
219--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
220
221[02:04] Kelly Kirk says, "I don't know a whole lot about history in general."
222[02:05] Kelly Kirk says, "Again, due to my path in life - I was more concerned about the day to day."
223[02:05] Ludovica Maria exclaims, "Ah. There is nothing wrong with that!"
224[02:06] Ludovica Maria says, "Some people forget about the present and get to obessed with the past or future."
225[02:06] Ludovica Maria says, "However I do believe it might be good to know a touch about the former."
226[02:07] Aki Kurokaiyo says, "I'm uh...well and yes its sad the two are still missing. You seem to be doing good as well."
227[02:08] Ludovica Maria says, "I'm doing well. I just have been craving to become a part of something greater."
228[02:08] Ludovica Maria says, "So I've been on a more spirtual and social journey as of late."
229[02:09] Aki Kurokaiyo says, "Hm. Sounds interesting I hope you achive what you are looking for sooner for later."
230[02:10] Ludovica Maria says, "Ah! Truly Miss Aki thank you for your wishes. I dont know what I'll find or if I will find anything but I sure hope I do."
231[02:12] Iskan Furthis asks, "Got a moment, Task?"
232[02:15] Arthmael Dioltas says, "Hm."
233
234[02:18] The Deacon is definitely flattered at the notion of getting to meet with the Queen or Grand Priest! A smile is given back towards Ludovica, and during a lull in the conversation, the teenager responds gently!
235
236"I'm not too certain about his history, though I do know that he was an extremely powerful mage from a time now known as the 'mythical era', more then four thousand years ago. The history of that time is very spotty, though we do know he was one of the few mages gifted with truly world-changing power. The kind of power that exists in myths and legends now, but in the past did exist. Perhaps someone from the House Pelleaux would be able to tell you more!"
237
238A small nod is given, before the blonde continues after a brief pause!
239
240"History is an important thing to study! While it's essential to be grounded in the present, an understanding of the past and a vision for the future can assist you greatly on your starlit path through life! If you're ever interested in joining the Church, I would be happy to show you through the rituals to have you be my Acolyte! Don't feel pressured to accept, of course, the Order is just as noble of a goal, and with such, you'd be able to spend more time with Evan."
241
242There's a smile and greeting the way of Aki, Task, and Adrielle, however, as well as the other onlookers in the form of Lemuria, Iskan, and Arthmael!
243
244"Greetings! My name is Yiel, Deacon of the Church. I've taken the name of the star I'm closest to, and I invite all of you to come and talk with us!"
245(Yiel)
246--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
247
248[02:19] Adrielle cos Solenne says, "Hello Yiel."
249[02:20] Adrielle cos Solenne says, "Adrielle Solenne, a pleasure to meet you."
250[02:24] Task would blink idly out of his mindless daze, puffing once more from his trusty corncob pipe as he mulled over the day's affairs with an idle tap of his chin. Crossing his right, serpentine scarred arm over his left, he would fold the pair over the black plate of his cuirass and the navy wool of his watchman's cloak with a respectful nod to the priestess.
251
252"I am Commander Task of the Royal Osronnan Constabulary, a pleasure to make your acquaintance Deacon Yiel."
253(Task)
254--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
255
256[02:25] Kelly Kirk says, "Yiel... Task is one of the most stubborn men I know."
257[02:25] Kelly Kirk says, "He's probably got half his body replaced by metal now, and yet - he keeps on working."
258[02:25] Iskan Furthis whispers something.
259[02:26] Aki gives a smile and nod back taking note of the name but then dozes off once again.
260(Aki Kurokaiyo)
261--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
262
263[02:26] Task whispers something.
264[02:27] Iskan Furthis whispers something.
265[02:27] Iskan Nods to Task as he departs.
266(Iskan Furthis)
267--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
268
269[02:27] Once more. Reaching into the void that was the pocket on the left side of her garb. The pasta accented poet pulls out a small brush and begins maintaining her silver mane.
270
271"I see, Over four thousand years ago? Also he was only one of the few mages with a world changing type power? Truly I'm interested. Perhaps when I'm less busy I will pursue more knowledge about this era. It might aid me to find out about any sort of Legendary Fire Magi so I might stumble upon older tactics to study!"
272
273Ludvoica continues to brush her silver mane. Looking at Yiel intently with her gaze .
274
275"Oh really? Being your Acolyte sounds like something that could be an enriching experience. However I'm still a bit interested in The Order although...I guess I'll leave it up to the stars to give me the answer I seek. But I will most definitely consider that offer Yiel. Infact I wish to practice your religion soon I just don't know where to start. Our last conversation opened my eyes to many things and choices I've made in the past making me understand not all is lost. "
276
277Clearing her throat Ludovica looks at Adrielle.
278
279"I've yet to meet you Adrielle. I'm Ludovica. I do hope your enjoy the conversation here at this table!"
280
281Quickly her fuchsia gaze locks unto task.
282
283"I've yet to meet you as well. Commander Task is it? It's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for you're service to the people of this fair city!"
284(Ludovica Maria)
285--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
286
287[02:39] As she does normally, that Deacon is quiet as she listens to all present, hands folded atop her new edition of the Codex Cosmic! The conservatively-dressed, black-wearing young woman has a cool, calm presence about her, relaxed, a casual smile worn, while she sits up straight and true. As those around introduce themselves, she'll wait for everyone to finish speaking, before responding to each;
288
289"I'm honored to meet you, Task. Thank you very much for helping to keep this city safe."
290
291Kelly's words regarding more metal then man has her sienna eyes curiously give him a look-over, before granting a smile to Adrielle!
292
293"Greetings, to you as well, Adrielle, I'm happy to meet you."
294
295Fellow Astyan granted a smile, her attention goes towards Ludovica now! A nod given to her assessment of the mythical age and world-changing power!
296
297"Of course, Ludovica. Take as much time as you need to decide, and I'd be happy to lead you in prayer sometime soon. Even as a member of the Order, it's written in their official handbooks that they'd like Knights to be active members of the Church community, to temper themselves with wisdom and knowledge. Likewise, I'm overglad to hear that you've regained hope!"
298
299"As for those of the mythical age - it's very likely you may learn much if you uncover more lore of the times of eld. My theory is that the world was still... New, the Creator having just built it, and the pieces locking into place and hardening, metaphorically, ripples of divine power dancing about! Raw potential, as I hear are mirrored in the treasures from the distant lands of Agartha."
300
301As she falls quiet as her hands come to rest, returning to listening with that smile of hers!
302(Yiel)
303--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
304
305[02:39] * You have been awarded 4 Roleplay Points! *
306[02:41] Task says, "Right, right, had an appointment to make. I'll be back shortly, A pleasure meeting you Deacon Yiel, we shall chat again. You as well Miss Maria."
307[02:45] Looking over to the pond. Ludovica spots another face she had not seen in quite some time. Ville! The man who bailed her out and even payed for her prosthetic.
308
309Waiving at him Ludovica opens her mouth hoping to get his attention!
310
311"Villlllle! Long time no see,come take a seat over here!"
312
313Quickly she brings her attention back to Yiel.
314
315"If that is the case once I make my decision I will make sure to seek you first Yiel.
316
317Now unto the topic of the mythical age. What do we know about the building of society on our land? Have the stars always guided us or is this a very recent thing?"
318
319Letting out a cough Ludovica grows a slightly embarrassed look.
320
321"N-not to sound like a heathen but just who exactly is our creator?"
322(Ludovica Maria)
323--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
324
325[02:57] There's a smile and polite nod the way of Ville! That is, before her attention returns to the other teen! Listening patiently to her questions regarding an age that regrettably doesn't have too much details known - due to the cataclysmic divine wars - she gathers her thoughts with a soft hum of contemplation.
326
327"The Kingdom of Esshar was founded about one-thousand-three-hundred years ago, from those brought here from Astya! The royal bloodline of Petrakis continued - with the three blessed protectors of the bloodline enduring to this day as important families - those of Grimmore, Astor, and Pelleaux. About a hundred years later, Saint Nile Pelleaux of Astya founded Celestialism."
328
329A nod given, she pauses, allowing that information to hang in the air for a time, before continuing!
330
331"The stars have always guided us! The Creator is a great Angel, from what I understand. Not a lot of information is known about them, but they're told to be a metaphorical clockmaker, someone who brought the world into being, forged its pieces, and wound it, and didn't have a great role within it, or lain down to rest - or even sacrificed themselves to make the world. Ideas are divided as to this subject."
332
333There's a small nod, before she continues;
334
335"In the Celestial Faith, we know that the stars have always been our guide since the world began - that they cast their light and wisdom down upon us. All people become part of the stars once they pass on from this world, their journey at its end."

338
339[03:03] Intresting. Grimmore,Astor,Pelleaux. All of them coming from Petrakis or at least being involved with it.
340
341"Ah. Saint Nile? How did he come to create Celestialism?"
342
343Ludovica questions. Her Italian-like accent almost crushing the procuration of the words weaved within it.
344
345"However. With the stars guiding us maybe they are an image of him? Well I shouldn't say that I'm not too educated on the subject but perhaps soon I will be! Especially with you informing me so much."
346
347Clearing her throat. Ludovica places both of her hands on the table with a small intense slam!
348
349"Wait? Really when I die I'm going to become a part of the stars themselves?"
350(Ludovica Maria)
351--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
352
353[03:49] The Deacon responds after a bit of thoughtfulness!
354
355"Saint Nile Pelleaux of Astya was a renowned astronomer and cosmic mage, I believe! He looked to the stars for answers and they provided, as he helped work on some of the first systems of astrology that came to form the basis for our Codex Cosmic. Specifically, he looked to the yellow, red, and blue stars - stars related to the Leonaus Constellation. Our understanding of these three have advanced significantly through that time, and we've come to be able to identify the different parts of the Constellation, seeing them as the three branches. Yiel, for example, is upon the red branch - known as the Paws of the Lion. Vrona is similarly upon the red branch."
356
357A nod is given, before she considers her words related to the creator.
358
359"Hmm... The creator is surely a benevolent figure, that much history backs up, though we don't quite know much about them. One of our Saints from the time of the Kingdom of Astya is Saint Ermis - who the stories say bore a shard of the creator, unknowingly, within him. He was credited as being able to heal any malady, and it was said that he reluctantly laid down his duty as a healer to sacrifice himself and stop an ancient calamity. They stars may be a reflection of the will of the creator, perhaps, though popular theological interpretations see them as separate entities. The creator isn't someone we worship - more so, if we think of them, we consider them through the lens of the sacrifice of Saint Ermis. Thanking them quietly for what they've done - and for providing us the stars. Though, we look to the stars primarily, as they provide far more bearing on our mortal lives. I personally see the creator as unknowable. As the clock-maker, their scope is far too broad to be able to understand, and it's better if we devote our lives to something much more tangible! Like the stars!"
360
361As for her question about the afterlife, she gives a gentle nod!
362
363"Of course! We all head to the stars to rest, after our life. Our very beings flow into them and we bathe in their light for a time. All life begins and ends within the crucible of the stars, as new essence flows down through starlight to enter into every person born."
364(Yiel)
365--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
366
367[03:59] "Yiel. I took in every word you just said. I'm glad you took the time to explain so much to me tonight! However...I'm dreadfully tired. I need sleep!"
368
369Waving as she steps off the stool Ludovica opens her mouth once more.
370
371"See you tomorrow buddy! Goodbye Kelly!"
372
373Bags under Ludovica's eyes show her fuchsia gaze wavering. She has learned so much yet still once more guilt from her abhorrent mistake had begun to pop its head in her mind once more.
374
375However for all she knows now. If she allows the stars to guide her perhaps the sorrows will stop one day.
376
377
378Perhaps Tizzy gazing upon her from the sky within the stars was enough to mend her fears for now. Enough to let it be known to that life she took she is trying to atone for that sin.
379
380But for now. The pasta accented poet would allow this guilt to kindle the blaze within her. Until her flame can become innocent once more.
381(Ludovica Maria)
382--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
383
384[04:14] As usual, the Deacon grants a smile and gracious nod the way of Ludovica! As she departs, she speaks gently to the other;
385
386"Of course, Ludovica. Leonaus watch your path, and have a nice rest."
387
388And with that, the blonde stands up too, stretching a bit! And looking about the park! Deciding what to do next, no doubt!
