Romani Montclaire - Priest Promotion (4/26)

[05:33] Down the steps from the podium he went, blue eyes scanning briefly over the small gathering to the side, familiar faces revealing themselves within his sight.

Although, a singular once was unknown to him, the cloak upon Sethon's form had a quiet hum escape his lips. It seemed as he slept another had joined the ranks of the clergy.

"Greetings everyone."

An amiable smile curled on his lips as he offered a nod to their general direction, attention flickering between the group before pausing onto Romani.

"Romani, I need to speak with you when you're free."

[05:35] A Fatherly embrace was bestowed upon both Sethon and Filia for a few moments, smiling at them for their work before hearing the sound of the Stellus' voice. Romani perks up, and he would give a small nod.

"Of course, Pericles." The Bishop confirmed, looking back to Sethon and Filia.

"I will speak to you both later on. And if you need assistance with anything, or need teaching in anything, I will do my best to assist." A nod before looking to Del.

"I will speak with you later on. And I hope that after our talk earlier, things have been going well." After that, Romani would follow after the Stellus.

[05:44] Off towards the western wing of the church, his private room a more adequate location for the duo to properly speak, a hand waved forward towards the door for Romani to enter first before he followed behind. The door closed after them as he scanned cross the room for a moment, before finally making his way over towards the table.

His cosmic-codex founds its way onto the table's surface, a seat taken by the Stellus as he smiled across towards Romani. It had been awhile since the duo had properly spoken, an index-finger was already tapping idly into the book's cover.

"A lot has happened since we last spoke, I was meant to promote you to Priest alongside Sparrow and Del, but, unfortunately it seems we were both busy at the time."

"And so now you can officially be given the rank. You've stood along the Faith for a few years now, you've grown, and proved that you truly wish to see other's thrive."

Sincerity so easily held in his tone as he spoke, kindness reflected in his smile as he paused for a moment, his tapping ceasing as he continued to speak.

"You've proven you can handle matters efficiently, and the love you showed those two acolytes only further solidifies my reason for promoting you, Brother Romani."

A moment was given for Romani to respond, his head nodding over towards the man as he leaned backwards into his chair. The Faith now held four priests, all experienced in their ways and dedicated towards the cosmic codex and its teaching.

Heart warming for the Stellus to see, and he was ever so glad that the generation that had remained within the Faith had continued to grow so beautifully.

"Another matter. A band of Therians are striking back towards Osrona, that will be handled by the Order, they're raiding villages and towns, but there's an even worse matter."

"A dragon was spotted leading this raiding party. One of Garljing's children no doubt, and the Keepers within the Faith and those wishing to aid will be marching to push the beast backwards, so its presence doesn't cause even more terror."

For how could having a rampaging dragon ever be accepted, especially one that was so willing to slaughter the innocents within Osrona that had no hand within the war that was unfolding.

Unacceptable to the Stellus.

[05:50] Romani would follow closely behind the Stellus, arms folded behind their back. A small breath outwards, releasing the stress of the days events as he would soon follow towards the table and sit down. There were questions forming in his mind, placements, reasons. And yet before he could start to ask one question, it is answered.

The words that he could officially become a priest. It brought a small smile to his face. Alongside Sparrow, alongside Del, Romani was finally old enough, and had done enough to reach the rank.

It felt good.

"I want to help people." Romani nodded. "So, if I can do so with the rank of priest, I will attempt to help all I can. I want to be better, to help and be able to solve a lot of problems. And I feel like I am getting closer to that."

His mouth curved into a smile.

"Filia and Sethon are great new members. I definitely can see them both working up the ladder and protecting many people. And I am goingto do my best to teach them too." He nodded.

"I heard about that attack. The therian war bands. Normally, I am not for these wars, you know. But this feels different. It is not use attacking under false pretenses."

"I think it is right for the Keepers to be there. I think it is right for the Faith to be there. For us to fight and protect innocent people from the dragons and raiders."

"If you desire me there, I will march with you."
