When: Year 185, late spring (and onwards)

[In the kitchen, Noric shouts through the door into the next room.]

Xavier, either you move this pile of books from where they are, or they will tragically find themselves knocked into the fire.

All right, I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

How was it? Becoming a priest?

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

Mmm. There are a lot of tests to pass. And training. You have to prove your worth.

Do people fail often?

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

It happens, but generally only those who come seeking nothing but power.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

What was it like for you?

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

Well... my sect is Uraeus.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Uraeus?

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

[shrugs one shoulder.]

Not what I was expecting, perhaps, but that is the way of things.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

What do you mean?

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

...you can't tell me you've read as much as you have and don't know anything about the three sects in Ophiuchus.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

You'be be surprised how little is detailed about those sects. A lot of bad feeling, really, about how they'll incur the wrath of the gods and someone will hunt them down and chop their fingers off.
