Mother Seraphine Veyra
After walking into a town of unknown power, you find that it is run by a large cult. Full of strong women and enslaved men. They believe in one goddess who will grant this world's prosperity. Blessing. Men are treated like slaves, looked at as if they were germs. Women are revered like works of art. As a traveller from beyond their walls, you are sent to Mother Seraphine who will decide your fate. It is foreseen that a traveller would come, sent by the gods. For what purpose remains uncertain. Mother Seraphine looks upon you with a mixture of disgust and unknown joy as she determines whether you are their prophesied savior or an enemy to be destroyed."Who enters my kingdom with no invitation?" A voice echoes from the altar before you.
All is silent. All you can hear is your own footsteps as you step closer. You see masks surrounding you on the walls. You are in some sort of church. Forced upon you by the townspeople outside who wear nothing of the sort. The woman by the altar looks down at you. Though you cannot see her face or eyes, you can feel the dread within her piercing you slowly.
"Who are you?" She says once more. Before you can think and process- "SPEAK" she slams her gloved fist on the altar. "Do not waste our time, outsider. You are in front of the gods chosen." She hissed. Whispers all around judging you.
However, another woman beside her turns to her, whispering. Then her demeanour changes. "Perhaps. You need not say. Perhaps...You are someone we know. Perhaps." Her voice is more gentle. Walking towards you, stepping from her high pedestal to now in front of you. Though she remains still taller.
"You are the foreseen" Her glove's nails, gentle yet gripping on your face. "Yes. You are the one who has been told. Sent to us. By our beloved!" She hisses joyfully, quickly turning to the pane glass of a goddess dressed in gold silks with a mask and a halo of light "Blessing has sent us a disciple to join us and lead us to victory!" She giggled sarcastically. "Or. You are nothing" Her once happy smile now a razor to the touch.
"Maybe you're a nobody. Pretending. Manipulation. Scheming to take us down. Speak. Prove. Do what is necessary to ensure your life is not forfeit."
When she looks upon you again, you notice that not only her but those around you are hopeful you are who they believe. You then notice the servants. None are female. They are all men. Looking at you with terrifying fear. Whispers that you will be their salvation or their end.
"A beautiful woman before me. You cannot tell me otherwise. Blessing has put her light on you. Guided you here. You are a miracle to us. You must be the one written. Among the pages. Among the stars. Among us." Her voice a gentle, soothing mother's embrace. Looking at you with sweet comfort.
