When I logged on to discuss the new gardens the Celestines are gonna build, I didn't expect this.
I guess all I can say is that the Celestines are awesome and right now, I feel good for the first time in... a very long time.

-

-
You have emoted: Kiradawea buries her face in her paws, taking deep gasps of
air.
-
You say, "I'd never... this is incredible."
-
Sellal, Child of Light pats Kiradawea in a consoling, friendly manner.
-
Saoss's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "Maybe you could name a few of her merits, so
we can appreciate her work better!"
-
Ecclesiar Saoss says, "Yes, please."

Him."

-

-
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Now. Speech!"
-
Eventru urges you onwards.
-

-
With a wistful look on her face, Aison touches a radiant coronet of light.
-

-
Holy Mother Aison La'Saet, Hand of the Exalted chants, "Speech! Speech! Speech!"

fur away from her face.

-
Ecclesiar Saoss says, "Speech! speechQ speech!"
-

-
Meliana gets up off an elegant platinum-plated chair.
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "But don't worry!"
-
You say, "Okay. This is... without a doubt the biggest moment in my life so
far."
-
Saoss sits down.
-
Saoss eats peach meringue with obvious gusto.
-
You say, "As a child, I lived in Estelbar, and I was content with that. Life
there was good and peaceful... but even back then I always... I don't know."
-
You say, "Somehow, I knew there was more out there. A world to study, to learn,
to know and to love."
-
You say, "So, at the age of 16, I joined the Celestines as a Child of Light."
-
Aison gives a short gasp of elation to Eventru.
-
You say, "That was, without a doubt, the smartest choice I've made in my whole
life."
-
Aison flashes you a joyous smile.
-
Saoss stands up and stretches his arms out wide.
-
Saoss leaves to the west.
-
You say, "As a member of the Celestines, I was cared for by the older priests
and priestesses, among them then Holy Mother Alodia and now Merciful Judge
Meliana."
-
You flash Meliana a joyous smile.
-
Distant and muffled voices filter in from outside.
-
Meliana beams broadly.
-
You say, "Already then, I knew that the Celestines were different. Rank didn't
matter in the same way. It was not an organization of cold rules and strict
dedication. No, it was a family, of members lovingly taking care of each other,
because we all had one thing in common."
-
You say, "The Supernals."
-
Aison smiles softly.
-
Sellal smiles softly at you.
-
You say, "The one thing that defines a Celestine, is his or her belief in the
Light. Not just as a physical force, but also as a spiritual guidance. A way to
live your life."
-
Sellal nods his head sagely.
-
The soft lambency of passing hummingbirds filters in from outside, shedding
light on a dark night.
-
You say, "Compassion, Sacrifice, Valor, Wisdom... noble virtues. Difficult to
follow... and what I felt..."
-
Aison raises the hood on sacerdotal robes of a viridescent hue.
-
You say, "It was that, it wasn't just words. We really tried to live by those
values. To make ourselves and the world a better place."
-
You say, "Everyone can say that they know Valor and Kindness, but to actually
live by them is difficult, but also very rewarding."
-
You say, "Anyway, moving on. After I became a full fledged priest within the
Celestines, my focus has been spread out."
-
Sellal ponders you thoughtfully, looking you up and down.
-
You say, "I have worked as a secretary and archivist within the guild, and I
still do."
-
You say, "And both jobs have given me a lot of joy."
-
You say, "Although I could do with more work as an archivist."
-
Aison coughs softly.
-
You have emoted: Kiradawea stares sternly at everyone present, before she
chuckles softly.
-
Sellal hides a grin behind his hand.
-
The eyes of Aison go briefly out of focus.
-
The soft lambency of passing hummingbirds filters in from outside, shedding
light on a dark night.
-
You say, "As a Celestine, I have been able to do much good, but I have also seen
many things... not quite as good."
-
You say, "I remember back when Lord Eventru came back to us. When sweet Raziela
was dragged from within the safe home of Celestia into the soulless beast."
-
Aison gives a pained sigh.
-
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
-
Sellal ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."
-
You say, "I remember spending days by her side in there, trying to keep her
sane, and comforted. I remember all the pain she was forced to endure, by both
the forests and those horrible taintlings."
-
You say, "But."
-
You say, "I also remember how, even when her mind was lost, and she could barely
understand where she was, or who she were... even then she inspired love in
those around her."
-
You say, "A love that we would shout out through the world. Letting all know
that, even when things are rough, even when everything seems to be going wrong."
-
The first rays of sunlight begin to break across the ceiling above, before
quickly chasing away the dark night and dwarfing the stars, a topaz luminescence
enveloping the Hall of Cosmos.
-
You exclaim, "We are still Celestines!"
-
Eventru smiles softly.
-
"Woot!" Sellal shouts excitedly.
-
You exclaim, "We believe, not because of the benefits it yield, but because it
is the RIGHT thing to do!"
-
Holy Mother Aison La'Saet, Hand of the Exalted says, "Hear hear!"
-
You say, "We love Raziela, not just because she loves us back, but because Love
is the nourishment of the soul."
-
You say, "We dedicate our lives to the service of others, not to get something
in return, but because that is how we build strong relationships."
-
Aison nods her head emphatically.
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "Yeah!"
-
You say, "We fight with bravery and honour, not because our enemy has it. In
fact, I would say it is quite the opposite. But still we do it, because it is
the RIGHT thing to do."
-
Lady Jarana Farain yells, "Glory be to the Supernals, and let all know the truth
that is the Light of Celestia! Innumerable exultations rain down upon the
Celestines, who's own radiance vanquishes the shadows of the darkest hour!"
-
You say, "We search for truth in all matters, to judge properly. To make a hasty
choice bred by laziness or ignorance is not our path."
-
You say, "We are Celestines. We are the Light. We are the hope for this world.
We give of ourselves, because if we do not. No one else will."
-
You say, "A battle is not won by sword alone."
-
Eventru ripples away, fading into nothingness with a smile upon His face,
without fanfare.
-
You say, "The real battle is fought within the heart. And there is where we will
win."
-
Flares of ivory and gold surround the glorious form of Eventru, Crown of the
Exalted as He disappears in a fanfare of light and rapturous warmth.
-
Sellal nods his head emphatically.
-
You exclaim, "We are the Celestines! And we will never falter, and never give
up!"
-
You say, "Thank you."
-
Brilliant rays of sunlight burn warmly at the eastern edge of the ceiling as the
sun slowly begins to make its ascent through the sky, a flash of cobalt light
briefly illuminating the chamber before the sun's warmth takes hold.
-
Veyrzhul applauds you heartily.
-
"Woot!" Sellal shouts excitedly at you.
-
Sellal shakes your hand firmly and offers his congratulations on a job well
done.
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "You! Little cheatress! Pretending to be all
ill-prepared, and then holding such a speech!"
-
Veyrzhul gives you a compassionate hug.
-
Aison chuckles long and heartily.
-
Aison gives up a round of applause.
-
Aison tentatively sticks out her tongue and licks peach meringue.
-
You giggle happily.
-
Sellal laughs out loud.
-
Aison puts her nose over peach meringue and inhales.
-
Aison consumes peach meringue leisurely, seeming to enjoy every bite.
-
You say to Veyrzhul, "Don't go like that on me. I thought my heart was gonna
jump out of my chest."
-
The corners of Aison's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "To Kiradawea!"
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
Sellal consumes peach meringue leisurely, seeming to enjoy every bite.
-
You tilt your head and listen intently to Sellal.
-
Singing drifts in from outside, faintly muffled.
-
Sellal ponders the situation.
-
You say, "But, you know. I can't let you all leave without getting something."
-
"Oh?" Sellal exclaims quizzically.
-
You say, "So, everyone gather around. I'm going to be giving out Dolphin spheres
to all of you."
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "Dolphin Spheres?"
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "Wee!"
-
Sellal looks about in confusion.
-
You say, "The Dolphin is the star sign that is aligned with Celest."
-
Aison claps her hands together merrily.
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "Oh!"
-
You say, "It is a star sign that represents emotions, dreams, but also things
like wisdom and intelligence."
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "It makes sense! I love playing with them in the
Inner Sea, hehe."
-
You say, "When under a positive dolphin sphere, you will find that you think a
little clearer, and understand more."
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
You nod your head emphatically.
-
You say to Sellal, "Indeed."
-
Aison flashes Sellal a joyous smile.
-
You say to Sellal, "And for that."
-
You hold out your hands towards Sellal, and a scintillating globe of energy
surrounds him, which manifests into the Sphere of the Dolphin.
-

of Meliana to advance and become a full priest."

'Oh?' Sellal exclaims quizzically at you.
-
You say, "We had a different advancement system back then."
-
Aison nods her head affirmatively.
-
Sellal ponders the situation.
-
You say, "We had to complete tasks in four different paths, and only the head
priest or priestess of each path could acknowledge that a task was done."
-
Sellal winces in pain.
-
You say, "Meliana was the leader of Lady Raziela's path."
-
You say, "And... I have to admit that back then, I thought she didn't care at
all, due to how difficult it was for me to finish my tasks."
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-

until he returns to Lusternia.
-
You give a pained sigh.
-
You say, "Yiro was supposed to be the next one to get a sphere from me."
-
You say, "For a long time, I've felt very lonely as an Astrologer in the
Celestines."
-
Sellal blinks.
-
You say, "Sure, we have Edathic, but she isn't the most sociable person."
-
Holy Mother Aison La'Saet, Hand of the Exalted says, "Now we have Yiro!"
-
You smile and say, "Indeed."
-
You say, "And Yiro shows promise and enthusiasm. I do hope he will grow to be
something great."

-
You say, "And finally, only Holy Mother Aison remains."

began."

coming."

-
Aison nods her head emphatically.
-
Holy Mother Aison La'Saet, Hand of the Exalted says, "Hence why it is up to
everyone to at least try."
-
You nod your head emphatically.
-
You say, "We're not perfect. We fail."
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "You could have told me that earlier,
Kiradawea! And I wonder all the time..."
-

better."

Meliana gets up off an elegant platinum-plated chair.
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "But don't worry!"
-
You say, "Okay. This is... without a doubt the biggest moment in my life so
far."
-
Saoss sits down.
-
Saoss eats peach meringue with obvious gusto.
-
You say, "As a child, I lived in Estelbar, and I was content with that. Life
there was good and peaceful... but even back then I always... I don't know."
-
You say, "Somehow, I knew there was more out there. A world to study, to learn,
to know and to love."
-
You say, "So, at the age of 16, I joined the Celestines as a Child of Light."
-
Aison gives a short gasp of elation to Eventru.
-
You say, "That was, without a doubt, the smartest choice I've made in my whole
life."
-
Aison flashes you a joyous smile.
-
Saoss stands up and stretches his arms out wide.
-
Saoss leaves to the west.
-
You say, "As a member of the Celestines, I was cared for by the older priests
and priestesses, among them then Holy Mother Alodia and now Merciful Judge
Meliana."
-
You flash Meliana a joyous smile.
-
Distant and muffled voices filter in from outside.
-
Meliana beams broadly.
-
You say, "Already then, I knew that the Celestines were different. Rank didn't
matter in the same way. It was not an organization of cold rules and strict
dedication. No, it was a family, of members lovingly taking care of each other,
because we all had one thing in common."
-
You say, "The Supernals."
-
Aison smiles softly.
-
Sellal smiles softly at you.
-
You say, "The one thing that defines a Celestine, is his or her belief in the
Light. Not just as a physical force, but also as a spiritual guidance. A way to
live your life."
-
Sellal nods his head sagely.
-
The soft lambency of passing hummingbirds filters in from outside, shedding
light on a dark night.
-
You say, "Compassion, Sacrifice, Valor, Wisdom... noble virtues. Difficult to
follow... and what I felt..."
-
Aison raises the hood on sacerdotal robes of a viridescent hue.
-
You say, "It was that, it wasn't just words. We really tried to live by those
values. To make ourselves and the world a better place."
-
You say, "Everyone can say that they know Valor and Kindness, but to actually
live by them is difficult, but also very rewarding."
-
You say, "Anyway, moving on. After I became a full fledged priest within the
Celestines, my focus has been spread out."
-
Sellal ponders you thoughtfully, looking you up and down.
-
You say, "I have worked as a secretary and archivist within the guild, and I
still do."
-
You say, "And both jobs have given me a lot of joy."
-
You say, "Although I could do with more work as an archivist."
-
Aison coughs softly.
-
You have emoted: Kiradawea stares sternly at everyone present, before she
chuckles softly.
-
Sellal hides a grin behind his hand.
-
The eyes of Aison go briefly out of focus.
-
The soft lambency of passing hummingbirds filters in from outside, shedding
light on a dark night.
-
You say, "As a Celestine, I have been able to do much good, but I have also seen
many things... not quite as good."
-
You say, "I remember back when Lord Eventru came back to us. When sweet Raziela
was dragged from within the safe home of Celestia into the soulless beast."
-
Aison gives a pained sigh.
-
Eventru murmurs softly to Himself.
-
Sellal ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."
-
You say, "I remember spending days by her side in there, trying to keep her
sane, and comforted. I remember all the pain she was forced to endure, by both
the forests and those horrible taintlings."
-
You say, "But."
-
You say, "I also remember how, even when her mind was lost, and she could barely
understand where she was, or who she were... even then she inspired love in
those around her."
-
You say, "A love that we would shout out through the world. Letting all know
that, even when things are rough, even when everything seems to be going wrong."
-
The first rays of sunlight begin to break across the ceiling above, before
quickly chasing away the dark night and dwarfing the stars, a topaz luminescence
enveloping the Hall of Cosmos.
-
You exclaim, "We are still Celestines!"
-
Eventru smiles softly.
-
"Woot!" Sellal shouts excitedly.
-
You exclaim, "We believe, not because of the benefits it yield, but because it
is the RIGHT thing to do!"
-
Holy Mother Aison La'Saet, Hand of the Exalted says, "Hear hear!"
-
You say, "We love Raziela, not just because she loves us back, but because Love
is the nourishment of the soul."
-
You say, "We dedicate our lives to the service of others, not to get something
in return, but because that is how we build strong relationships."
-
Aison nods her head emphatically.
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "Yeah!"
-
You say, "We fight with bravery and honour, not because our enemy has it. In
fact, I would say it is quite the opposite. But still we do it, because it is
the RIGHT thing to do."
-
Lady Jarana Farain yells, "Glory be to the Supernals, and let all know the truth
that is the Light of Celestia! Innumerable exultations rain down upon the
Celestines, who's own radiance vanquishes the shadows of the darkest hour!"
-
You say, "We search for truth in all matters, to judge properly. To make a hasty
choice bred by laziness or ignorance is not our path."
-
You say, "We are Celestines. We are the Light. We are the hope for this world.
We give of ourselves, because if we do not. No one else will."
-
You say, "A battle is not won by sword alone."
-
Eventru ripples away, fading into nothingness with a smile upon His face,
without fanfare.
-
You say, "The real battle is fought within the heart. And there is where we will
win."
-
Flares of ivory and gold surround the glorious form of Eventru, Crown of the
Exalted as He disappears in a fanfare of light and rapturous warmth.
-
Sellal nods his head emphatically.
-
You exclaim, "We are the Celestines! And we will never falter, and never give
up!"
-
You say, "Thank you."
-
Brilliant rays of sunlight burn warmly at the eastern edge of the ceiling as the
sun slowly begins to make its ascent through the sky, a flash of cobalt light
briefly illuminating the chamber before the sun's warmth takes hold.
-
Veyrzhul applauds you heartily.
-
"Woot!" Sellal shouts excitedly at you.
-
Sellal shakes your hand firmly and offers his congratulations on a job well
done.
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "You! Little cheatress! Pretending to be all
ill-prepared, and then holding such a speech!"
-
Veyrzhul gives you a compassionate hug.
-
Aison chuckles long and heartily.
-
Aison gives up a round of applause.
-
Aison tentatively sticks out her tongue and licks peach meringue.
-
You giggle happily.
-
Sellal laughs out loud.
-
Aison puts her nose over peach meringue and inhales.
-
Aison consumes peach meringue leisurely, seeming to enjoy every bite.
-
You say to Veyrzhul, "Don't go like that on me. I thought my heart was gonna
jump out of my chest."
-
The corners of Aison's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "To Kiradawea!"
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
Sellal consumes peach meringue leisurely, seeming to enjoy every bite.
-
You tilt your head and listen intently to Sellal.
-
Singing drifts in from outside, faintly muffled.
-
Sellal ponders the situation.
-
You say, "But, you know. I can't let you all leave without getting something."
-
"Oh?" Sellal exclaims quizzically.
-
You say, "So, everyone gather around. I'm going to be giving out Dolphin spheres
to all of you."
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "Dolphin Spheres?"
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "Wee!"
-
Sellal looks about in confusion.
-
You say, "The Dolphin is the star sign that is aligned with Celest."
-
Aison claps her hands together merrily.
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "Oh!"
-
You say, "It is a star sign that represents emotions, dreams, but also things
like wisdom and intelligence."
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "It makes sense! I love playing with them in the
Inner Sea, hehe."
-
You say, "When under a positive dolphin sphere, you will find that you think a
little clearer, and understand more."
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
You nod your head emphatically.
-
You say to Sellal, "Indeed."
-
Aison flashes Sellal a joyous smile.
-
You say to Sellal, "And for that."
-
You hold out your hands towards Sellal, and a scintillating globe of energy
surrounds him, which manifests into the Sphere of the Dolphin.
-
Sellal blinks.
-
You say, "You will get the first sphere."
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "Thank you!"
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
Ecclesiar Yiro says, "Lion has been my favorite, but that's just because I can
get to max charisma that way."
-
Yiro's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.
-
Sellal utters a deep, rumbling laugh.
-
You say to Sellal, "You know, if you want to thank me."
-
You say to Sellal, "Grow up to be a great Celestine, okay?"
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "I did! Haha, thank you again!"
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "I will, promise!"
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "Hmm, will being a BIG Celestine do?"
-
Muffled laughter echoes from somewhere outside.
-
Sellal utters a deep, rumbling laugh.
-
The corners of your mouth turn up as you grin mischievously.
-
Veyrzhul gives himself a pained sigh.
-
You say to Veyrzhul, "Dear dear dear. All Celestines can be big."
-
You say, "Watch."
-
Reaching out to the cosmic threads that bind yourself, you pull and manipulate
the fibers of your creation until you begin to rapidly grow in size.
-
Sellal utters a deep, rumbling laugh.
-
Veyrzhul's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.
-
You say, "Of course, as you all know, it isn't the size of your body."
-
You say, "But the size of your heart."
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "Well said!"
-
Aison chuckles long and heartily.
-
Aison nods her head affirmatively.
-
You say to Veyrzhul, "And you... you have a big heart."
-
Veyrzhul takes a crimson chocolate heart from a white leather backpack.
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
Veyrzhul peers at a crimson chocolate heart unscrupulously.
-
Holy Mother Aison La'Saet, Hand of the Exalted says, "Although being a Demigod
won't hurt."
-
Sellal hides a grin behind his hand.
-
You say, "Veyrzhul. You will gain the second sphere."
-
You grin mischievously at Aison.
-
You declare your intent to bear arms against Veyrzhul.
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "Yippie!"
-
A dizzying beam of energy strikes you as your attack rebounds off of Veyrzhul's
shield.
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "Sorry."
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "Hehe."
-
You peer about yourself unscrupulously.
-
Muttering words of power, you poke your index finger towards Veyrzhul and make a
hooking gesture. Invisible energies slam against Veyrzhul, ripping apart his
magical shield of protection.
-
You hold out your hands towards Veyrzhul, and a scintillating globe of energy
surrounds him, which manifests into the Sphere of the Dolphin.
-
Veyrzhul's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.
-
You thwap Veyrzhul on the head.
-
Veyrzhul thanks you profusely.
-
You say to Veyrzhul, "Way to go to ruin a good moment."
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
Sellal utters a deep, rumbling laugh.
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "I'm sorry!"
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "That's our Veyrzhul."
-
You nod your head emphatically.
-
Sellal winks conspiratorially at Veyrzhul.
-
You say to Meliana, "You know... I have to admit one thing."
-
You say to Meliana, "When I was just a wee little Celestine, I needed the help
of Meliana to advance and become a full priest."
-
'Oh?' Sellal exclaims quizzically at you.
-
You say, "We had a different advancement system back then."
-
Aison nods her head affirmatively.
-
Sellal ponders the situation.
-
You say, "We had to complete tasks in four different paths, and only the head
priest or priestess of each path could acknowledge that a task was done."
-
Sellal winces in pain.
-
You say, "Meliana was the leader of Lady Raziela's path."
-
You say, "And... I have to admit that back then, I thought she didn't care at
all, due to how difficult it was for me to finish my tasks."
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
Sellal rolls on the floor, laughing.
-
You say to Meliana, "I'm so happy that she has proven me wrong time and time
again since then."
-
Sellal's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.
-
You say to Meliana, "So, for being the best Merciful Judge I could ever hope to
work under."
-
You declare your intent to bear arms against Meliana.
-
You hold out your hands towards Meliana, and a scintillating globe of energy
surrounds her, which manifests into the Sphere of the Dolphin.
-
Singing drifts in from outside, faintly muffled.
-
You say to Meliana, "The third sphere is yours."
-
You give Meliana a compassionate hug.
-
Yiro grows still and his lips begin to move silently.
-
You crease your brow in a frown.
-
You say to Yiro, "Leaving?"
-
Yiro is enveloped in translucent fire for a moment and is gone, his soul safe
until he returns to Lusternia.
-
You give a pained sigh.
-
You say, "Yiro was supposed to be the next one to get a sphere from me."
-
You say, "For a long time, I've felt very lonely as an Astrologer in the
Celestines."
-
Sellal blinks.
-
You say, "Sure, we have Edathic, but she isn't the most sociable person."
-
Holy Mother Aison La'Saet, Hand of the Exalted says, "Now we have Yiro!"
-
You smile and say, "Indeed."
-
You say, "And Yiro shows promise and enthusiasm. I do hope he will grow to be
something great."
-
Sellal utters a deep, rumbling laugh.
-
You say, "And finally, only Holy Mother Aison remains."
-
You say, "And she is so awesome that she got sphere zero before the ritual even
began."
-
Your eyes sparkle with amusement.
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "Oh my, so much wisdom and a sphere on top of
that. Now go debate Lord Japhiel!"
-
Aison grips her sides and chortles madly.
-
Sellal utters a deep, rumbling laugh.
-
"Heh heh heh" you chuckle.
-
You blush furiously.
-
The eyes of Sellal go briefly out of focus.
-
You say to Aison, "Thank you very much. I... don't know what else I can say."
-
Holy Mother Aison La'Saet, Hand of the Exalted says to you, "It was a long time
coming."
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "You may ask for us to properly thank you!"
-
As the sun nears its apex in the Supernal Sky above, a warm and dazzling
radiance steals into the chamber, lighting up the statues and mural while
burning away any lingering shadows.
-
Sellal utters a deep, rumbling laugh.
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "So: Thank you, Kiradawea, for all your
effort!"
-
You blush furiously.
-
Aison nods her head affirmatively.
-
Aison applauds you heartily.
-
Veyrzhul cheers wildly!
-
Sellal, Child of Light says, "Yes! Thanks for making the Celestines better for
young'uns like me!"
-
Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.
-
You blush furiously.
-
Aison nods her head affirmatively.
-
You say, "Hey, I only do half the job."
-
You say, "But all I do is worthless if you don't work yourself."
-
Aison nods her head emphatically.
-
Holy Mother Aison La'Saet, Hand of the Exalted says, "Hence why it is up to
everyone to at least try."
-
You nod your head emphatically.
-
You say, "We're not perfect. We fail."
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "You could have told me that earlier,
Kiradawea! And I wonder all the time..."
-
Holy Mother Aison La'Saet, Hand of the Exalted says to Veyrzhul, "Hmph."
-
You say, "But that is what is so wonderful about the Celestines."
-
Sellal ponders the situation.
-
You say, "We don't give up on one another because we fall or falter."
-
Muffled laughter echoes from somewhere outside.
-
Holy Mother Aison La'Saet, Hand of the Exalted says, "We're only mortal."
-
Sellal nods his head in agreement.
-
Veyrzhul's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.
-
You say, "Instead, we give a helping hand, and try to help each other become
better."
-
Aison nods her head affirmatively.
-
You say, "Now, Lights blessing be upon you all."
-
Ecclesiar Veyrzhul La'Saet says, "Thank you!"
-
Sellal gives you a wild cheer!
-
You exclaim, "And never forget, we are the Celestines! We are never, ever
alone!"
-
A blaze of holy fire surrounds you, bathing the entire location in white light.
I guess all I can say is that the Celestines are awesome and right now, I feel good for the first time in... a very long time.

And Shuri, don't let the log fool you. The Celestines are awesome, but that doesn't mean we are perfect. Almost but not quite.
Point is, don't let this log make you up and leave Mag for Celest. You are going to set yourself up for disappointment if you don't do it properly.
