Our love for M'Lady Slyphe

Addressed to: Everyone


Good day everyone,

This is to make the world aware of what our order did to show our true
love for M'Lady Slyphe.

We had a ritual to make a gift for M'lady, this is what it looked like:

One could harvest all herbs in the lands, spend months on end doing
nothing else and give them all away to the God. But what would One do
with those...? And many would say thats to easy.

You could get all your friends and family together and hunt every living
thing in sapience and slay it, to offer to the god. And say there is no
greater thing one could do to show his love.

You could chase after rats your entire life. Make millions and donate
them, But what would that do?

"Some might even think dying for your God, showing everyone your life
means nothing, is the greatest way to show ones love."

And so on and so on.. What one does..a persons actions or gifts to a
Divine do mather but will never be the greatest thing one could do. You
could always offer more animals, you could always harvest more herbs or
donate more gold and essence..

True love for anyone and especially for a God because all mortal efforts
all so small in comparison, comes from the mind. It comes from within
and is hard to show.

I can only say, and I think I speak for all present, that I truelly love
M'Lady Slyphe for the chances she made to my life and especially my mind
and view on the world. And thats why we could only think of one thing to
give Her.."
Brunneng says to Eshu, "Take it away."

Duke Eshu Shinta'moryu sets down some elemental ice in a simple
pattern,each section slightly overlapping the last.

Duke Eshu Shinta'moryu begins to rhythmically chant a prayer to Slyphe
under his breath, allowing his dedication and devotion to shine from his
body, flowing into the elemental ice.

Lady Elanoria of the Summer Solstice begins to rhythmically chant a
prayer to Slyphe under her breath, allowing her dedication and devotion
to shine from her body, flowing into the elemental ice.

Brother Tai Ra'nut, Blue Rose begins to rhythmically chant a prayer to
Slyphe under his breath, allowing his dedication and devotion to shine
from his body, flowing into the elemental ice.

Duke Eshu Shinta'moryu continues to chant, and the elemental ice slowly
takes form, appearing almost for a second to resemble a small, unformed
lily of ice, before fading from view.

Lady Elanoria of the Summer Solstice continues to chant a little more
loudly, her voice trembling with utter devotion, and as she does, the
petals around the lily grow and take form, glowing with an ever
brightening blue hue.

Brother Tai Ra'nut, Blue Rose trembles in awe as he continues chanting,
and the divine blossom shimmers in a divine glow, it's petals almost
complete and shining in unearthly light.

Duke Eshu Shinta'moryu finishes chanting finally, and slumps back with
exhaustion, for the briefest of moments nothing happens in the room,
bathed in the aqua glow of so many worshipers. Without warning the glow
intensifies and an explosion of light engulfs the room, when next you
can see, floating upon the cool waters of its pool rests the Ice Lily of
Slyphe.

This is what the lily looks like: Floating upon the rippling, cool
waters of its pool rests the Ice Lily, the only one known to creation,
transcending the size and beauty of its kin. Created through nature and
enchantment, the outer layers of the plant slowly melt almost completely
before expanding and refreezing, each time slowly recreating and
changing the shape of the petals. A vibrant slow pulse of colour expands
from within the center of the lily, floating up into the leaves before
fading, to be replaced by a second different burst of colour. It weighs
2 ounce(s).

Made from ice and shaped by pure devotion and love for M'Lady Slyphe by
all present at the ritual. We left it at a Small freshwater lake deep in
the Aalen for the world to see


To show our love for Her, not being able to think of any reason why not
the whole world would love Her so,

In Her service,

Brunneng Blackthorn
