Velius 3

The book of Velius is an accounting of the formation and hardships of the Monastican peoples.

The Forming
1. And so it was that Enyo revealed Herself to the prophet Ronald.

2. Upon his revelation, he set forth to bring Enyo to the hearts of all mankind.

3. Ronald spake unto the rabble, "Come, learn of Enyo and be fulfilled for all time!"

4. Many followed Ronald, yet some still were filled with hatred and bile and thus refused his beneficent offer.

5. Woe unto those who would rebuke the blessings of Enyo; the Abyss shall claim their souls.

6. The followers henceforth named themselves Monasticans.

7. The Monasticans pledged to spread the word of the Goddess Enyo to the masses.

8. Enyo, pleased with the Monasticans, opened up the heavens and smiled down upon them from Her Holy High Chair.

9. Unable to restrain themselves, the worshipers ripped their shirts to expose their chests to the light emanating from the heavens.

10. Enyo was again pleased and, in Her infinite glory and splendor, deigned to reward her followers with a gift.

11. She removed her jeweled necklace and sent it down from the heavens.

12. The Monasticans saw objects falling from the sky so bright they were nearly blinded, and they began to cower in fear.

13. Then Enyo spoke unto them, "Be not afraid, I am the Lady Enyo, your Goddess."

14. "I send you these gifts as a token of my love. Cherish them and with their power, spread my love."

15. Ronald stepped forward and asked, "Goddess, I am your humble servant Ronald. How can we thank you for these gifts?"

16. Then Enyo replied, "When you pray, bare your chests to the heavens and I will know that you are grateful for the gifts I send to my people."

17. Ronald proudly bared his chest and said "So shall it be, Goddess."

18. And for a time, all was right in the world.
