To Serve "No doubt there are some who consider it a curse, a jinx, a hex… to have the brother seated on the throne." Even step, booted feet walking a prescribed course, evenly, perfectly placed. "Some in prominent positions second guess their backing of the restoration. The Peacecraft daughter is once again viewed as having the greater potential to further Sanc though she has proven repeatedly to see the world, not the country, as her primary concern." Three paces north. "It is no disadvantage to have Moonlight on Snow seated upon the throne. It is his birthright, and it is to the good of Sanc's future to have the rightful heir in place." Heavy fabric rustled as she moved across ancient stone. "Spellcraft and witchery, that is what they would say to the talk of prophecy; dismissing it as archaic foolery. Superstition has its place as both curse and blessing. Prophecy is not something the modern world looks upon with favour; it laughs and shakes its collective head at the depravities of the old ways." Four steps to the north east marker and turn east. "And yet instances of foretelling and superstition appear to have their moment of revelation and success. Coincidence, they cry, dismissing event as chance. In this modern world many forget one can learn from the past. We have many examples of the accuracy of prophecy within our archives. Sanc has fallen in the past and been restored. With the aid of the Sisterhood the Family has survived much that should have wiped the dynasty out." Pass by the eastern marker, turn and move on. "Moonlight on Snow has stood within the ancient circle. This one was there to witness the shedding of royal blood within the ancient stones sacred embrace. This one was there to witness the acceptance of the child, who is now a man, by the land. I say to you that it was not a trick of the light, a moment of madness, or the vagaries of an old mind. The stones sang and the earth moved." They were a new hope and must be guided and trained. It was her place to teach, to pass on the old ways and to ensure those who came accepted and understood what they stood for. "As you train to serve you shall become privy to
much that would be seen as superstition by the uneducated masses.
You must learn to put aside your modern view, those of you who have
been educated amidst the blindness of the modern world. Those of you
from the mountains who have had less exposure to the enlightenment
of science might find it a little easier to accept what you shall
learn. It is expected you assist your sister's, that you learn as
best you can the history of the Sisterhood and strive to fulfil the
responsibilities of our ancient charter. We are here to serve, to
preserve the bloodline, and in doing so to ensure the land continues
to thrive." ~ * ~ |
