Those gathered here were forerunners of another coming, a glorious Elisha which received grace from a chariot of fire, galloping into the heavens. If not to dispel the leprous darkness, the chorus of healing from which the luminosities poured forth upon them, like a Pentecost, would all be manifested in vain. They were chosen by tongues of flame to proclaim the beckoned kontakion of radiance, to which each praised and witnessed. Her Beloved inferred this same absolved purpose, unwavering and unadultered.

Accompany us on our quest. For he is the missing puzzle, to the piece we already possess.”[/color] [@JBRam2002][@The Harbinger of Ferocity][@Hekazu][@Cu Chulainn] [Hider=Mechanics] Wick will cast [i]Guidance[/i] on herself.
