Mother gave us music that we might pray without words. -- unknown

In the Kingdom of Man, there lies the vast city of Carthis, the capital built as a harbor. The sun had just risen from it's rest, shining it's light upon the vessels that laid anchor in the waters. The birds began to migrate back into the land, as Spring had finally come at last. As the morning proceeded, the citizens silently exited their houses. Some would go on to run businesses and errands, while others came out for a good stroll in the morning. The majority, however, gathered at the city chapel, for today was a special occasion. Pope Edward, Archbishop, had knighted a group of trainee's into Paladins, sworn into The Order. As the celebration continued, Pope Edward would bring about his speech to the masses gathered. "My children....Human, Vel, Dwarves, and Drow alike...it does not matter what you are. Remember always that The Mother is with us, through our happiest moments to our final hours. Remember to love Her, thank Her, for She is the mighty hand that will guide you. Let us pray for these young boys and girls, who'm have chosen to serve The Order as Her divine hand. Let us pray for those who have already given their lives for our peace. But most important of all, let us pray to Her, for She has allowed these brave souls to be her holy subjugators, so that evil may never rise once more." He led the prayer, with hymns of faith being sung out by citizens, clergy, and warriors alike. After the gathering, the Archbishop blessed his children, and sent them on their way. The mass was over. The day was beginning...and the decision was to be made today. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Aiden watched the many people disperse from the Church, including those who had recently been graduated. Others were with their families, sharing their tears of joy with them. He smiled at the sight of families being there for them, as he stood by himself. His thoughts wondered on about how proud his father would have been at this event. He knew he would be, there was no doubt. His hand rested on the end of his blade, sheathed at his side. He looked all around, watching the many different cultures together, for their Mother. Though it would be short lived, it warmed him to see these people together. Elizabeth would soon approach him, his younger sister. She was a Priestess and part of the clergy. Smiling, she spoke to him, "I'm happy for you Aiden. What will you be doing now?" She asked. He shrugged, scratching his head as he thought, "I might end up having to head towards the barracks to meet with Captain Duncan. You know how he is with his schedule." She grumbled slightly, unable to celebrate with him. Ever since he had joined The Order, they were rarely given time to be together. He laughed and scolded her, "Hey, come on. I have to provide for my brat of a sister somehow. Listen, I'll be here at the Church again for the Archbishops special announcement tonight. Just continue to stay here and help around the place." She sighed out, hugged him, and turned back. With a cheer in her voice, she yelled to him, "Don't be late! I'm making dinner tonight this time, just for you!" This made him chuckle quietly as he began to leave the Church, when he spotted one of his friends, Blake Gilfreed, a fellow graduate who'm he had gotten to know during the course of their training. He called out to him, approached him, and smiled. "So, how does it feel to be a big, strong, and noble Paladin, pal?" He grinned, nudging Blake on the arm. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Elizabeth remained at the Church, answering to those who required assistance or her time. She tended the flowers, assisted those in praying, and listened to suffering as she tried to comfort them. Her voice was like honey, but with a certain strength to it, as if her words rang true. She marveled at the idea of helping those around her. She was a Priestess, a Lady of Mother, and she was proud of it. She moved her blonde hair behind her shoulder as she finally sat down, reading a scripture on the history of the universe..."In the beginning, The Divine Mother sang out in the darkness, shaping the universe to her liking...."
